U2 - Live at the Sphere
I co-directed this commercial as part of my work as a Multimedia Director at Moment Factory.
Moment factory was asked to create teaser for U2's concert residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
In the short film, an unidentified flying object is seen hovering over several cities, which is revealed to contain a disembodied baby, and U2 fans are mysteriously transported into the desert.
​
A cut-down version of the advertisement aired during the Super Bowl LVII to officially announce the engagement as "U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at the Sphere"
