Colonel Blimp

Presenting U2 and Little Boots

• 27.07.2009

  Colonel Blimp HQ has been incredibly busy this summer, and we're happy to announce the release of another two spectacular videos courtesy of David Wilson and David O'Reilly. Both are visually arresting in their own unique ways: David O'Reilly's return to music video (or really, his official debut) is the beautifully animated story which accompanies U2's new single 'I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight'. His oddly affecting narrative weaves together the stories of a wide range of characters one rainy night, and was a hit at the recent BUG evening at the National Film Theatre. 

   

  David Wilson's latest video for Little Boots is yet another outing into his bottomless imagination - a clever combination of in-camera and post trickery, Little Boots is re-imagined in a world of reflections and magical refractions. Gorgeously lit by Will Bex, it's the triumphant next step in David's work so far. We at the Blimp hope you like them very much.
