Came across this by chance.
Really don't know what to make of it, but made me smile!

Pretty good fun!
Nit-picking issue though, is that they mixed things around a bit. I guess we all noticed, but:
Based on the 'Tony Wilson' intro, this is presumably meant to be the band's first appearance on 'Granada Reports'. However, instead of playing 'Shadowplay', they play 'Transmission'. This is the 'mistake' also made in the film 'Control' (I say 'mistake', but I'm sure it was a deliberate choice by Corbijn).
The intro is the one taken directly from 'Control', so it isn't Tony, but the actor's voice instead. :-(
The set they use in the animation is the one from the performance on 'Something Else', not 'Granada Reports'.
It's minor quibbles, really though, eh? A nice little job. :-)
That being said, if they'd just cut the intro, it would be better, IMO. Either that or they need to animate 'Shadowplay' too. And add the magnificent 'proper' Wilson to that. :-)
Thanks for the link, by the way.
