Band On The Run (Visualizer)

In late 2025 and early 2026, a wide-ranging reassessment of Wings’ legacy took place. In November 2025, Paul McCartney released a new book co-authored with historian Ted Widmer, titled “Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run.” To coincide with its release, a new Wings compilation album, “WINGS,” was issued. The celebration continued in February 2026 with the release of the documentary “Man On The Run“, directed by Morgan Neville, on Amazon Prime Video, accompanied by a soundtrack album. In May 2026, a dedicated exhibition featuring memorabilia and archival materials opened at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, further highlighting the enduring impact of Wings and Paul McCartney’s work during that period.

As part of this campaign, a series of visualizers were released on YouTube:

• November 5, 2025 – Band On The Run
• December 12, 2025 – Arrow Through Me
• February 2, 2026 – Nineteen Hundred And Eighty-Five
• February 13, 2026 – Let ‘Em In
• February 24, 2026 – Listen To What The Man Said

All were directed and produced by Trunk Animation, the London-based animation studio that had previously created several promotional videos for The Beatles between 2018 and 2022.
