  • Alice Bevan–McGregor 2 years ago
    What I initially expected was an extended version of the impressive visual composition work from the Blackberry ad. What I saw was far more impressive, dramatic, and meaningful. Thank you for such a moving piece.

  • Sunny Kharbanda 2 years ago
    Great look! I love the colors, the subtle camera moves, and especially the "barely there" overlays that highlight certain portions and help with the framing. I didn't even notice many of those overlays the first time I watched the video, which is a testament to how deftly you guys used them.

  • Inofaith 2 years ago
    Well I don't like U2, but I looooove the video.
    I really appreciate someone using the mathemathical 3D instead of vanishing-point 3D perspective.

    Love the cat-mouse animation even more 'cuz of its very suitable sound design :)

    Respect!

    Very nice! Was this something you did on your own to a U2 song, or did they actually commission you to do this one?

    hob: let's not forget that artists need to make a living. commercial projects are a necessary part of the game, at least DOR's work will be seen by millions that wouldn't see it otherwise.
