Amongst Inspiration: Part 2 - With U2 Art Director Steve Averill

I'm delighted to have completed the second in a series of inspiration based mini-films on Dublin creatives.
This time I had the pleasure of sitting down for a few hours with the very talented Steve Averill. Steve's work for U2 over the last 25 years or more is astonishing. Our chat revolved mainly around inspiration, The Joshua Tree period & the Boy album. I cut the bulk of the inspiration & Joshua Tree content down into a 5 min edit and am really happy with the result. (The Boy material may appear in some form at a later date...)
Steve's take on the inspirations behind the iconic Joshua Tree sleeve are now preserved in HD for all to enjoy.
A big thanks to Steve, Will at Mutiny, Michael Carpenter at Stagefright, Mark Duggan & obviously U2 & Principle Management Dublin for graciously allowing permission to use the track. 
Check out more of Steve's work at http://www.AmpVisual.com, read the YouTube notes under the video for more detail or like the Facebook page to find out more: http://www.facebook.com/AmongstInspiration
Part 3 coming soon!
