U2 - I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight

Here is a music video for U2's new single "I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight". I love the animation and the storyline of this music video. Also, the slow panning of camera from left to right creates an interesting mood in combination with the actual song. The blend of animation with the song goes very well...

Great animation and some really good VFX...
