Trendsetter is thrilled to be working with rock legends, U2 after the debut of their brand new music video for their latest single, “Get Out Of Your Own Way.” Making a statement with their politically themed lyrics, the artistic video is shot entirely analogue using paper cut and stop-motion animated techniques that help to aid the song’s personal and clarion cry to the current global situation.
Directed by ‘Broken Fingaz Crew’ and edited by Adam Albo, the video features political imagery shots and bright psychedelic styles.
“2017 for us was the year fascists worldwide felt confident enough to raise their heads again, encouraged by Trump and other world leaders, who use people’s fear to build more walls and segregation,” said the directors.
