An Original Promo!!

Keith Schofield is an amazingly creative and techy director, and I think he has created one of the most original Promos for years (Have a look at some of his other stuff though - it's all pretty damn good) Great:

I saw three of these guys on my cycle to work this morning and reminded me of this amazing animation (Blur Obviously let Shrigley have free reign at the end). Amazing!
