Yeah, those close up shots of the band on HH DVDs really help with the wrinkles.

Go watch Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" or Neil Young's "Prairie Wind" from a couple years ago.
Bow to the master.
Wow you guys.
Hamish Hamilton is by far the best choice. As much as I loved U23D, the editing was horrible for some songs and the cameras were oddly still, and didn't follow the beat well at all. There were way too many shots of the band and not enough of the crowd. We could be watching shots of Bono for as long as 6 or 7 seconds, whilst the crowd shots got 1 or 2. Catherine Owens sucks balls - she hasn't made one film before U23D, and it really, really shows. Hamish Hamilton knows his stuff, look at Vertigo from Milan: AWESOME STUFF. If there was no U23D was just a plain concert film, it'd be nothing more than a last-century, slow-paced, editing yawnfest - the footage is amazing and the concert is great, but man, so much potential just falls straight to the ground, all thanks to Catherine Owens. Don't let her near the 360 DVD.
Hamish Hamilton all the way, or someone else who knows how to make a concert film exciting.
Hamish has WAY too many short shots, WAY too many epilepsy evoking shots. Hurts my eyes. And Chicago was the worst concert dvd i've ever seen.
You want crowd shots when you're watching a U2 show? I'm sorry but I watch it for the band! A few crowd shots are fine, but focus on them?

totally agree with you here. the fly was just awful on u23d, the words were annoying and it drew your eyes more to the giant text seemingly jumping off the screen than the band. and of course the edge not being shown at all during the solo. the rest of the movie i enjoyed, though i thought there were too many crowd shots. they seemed to be thrown in because it was in 3d, like hey look it looks like these people are coming towards you!The Fly is just the band playing and those f***ign words all over the screen, like watching a taped 3D commercial.

Ooh, Godley's videos are great. Does he direct full blown DVDs too, though ?

Hannibal Lector could make an appearance and eat Hamish.
Just so you guys know, it's U2 that ask for the quick cut edits. It hides their wrinkels and mkes the concert "more exciting".
U2 have been sensitive about their age and all their videos have weird effects/lighting/edits to distract the viewer. Vain guy our little Bono.
BTW, U23D had longer edits because the effect was lost on on viewers for short edits that U2 original requested.
