You Should Know; Gary Jules' and Michael Andrews' cover version of Mad World, directed by Michel Gondry (Video Inside)

"Mad World" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the band's third single release and first chart hit, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982. Two decades later, the song made a popular resurgence when it was covered in a much slower, ballad-like style by composers Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the soundtrack to the movie Donnie Darko. This version reached no.1 in the UK in December 2003. It was also later used in trailers for the video game Gears of War and the 2010 zombie film The Crazies.

I'm a sucker for a good Music Video (obvious by both of the music videos I did for the Idiot and Baddest Man Alive record on my Youtube) and this one takes the cake I'd love to redo something like this and I think its been enough time since this came out that it could work. Shot from an aerial view the concept is children on the street forming different shapes and as they move into each shape it then transitions into another one. Its hard to describe just check it out below! (PS On a random note Ive been gettin a lot of requests to do peoples videos based on the 2 videos I did, wierd. I psoted em below so check em out and shoot me an email if you want me to do a video for you too)
