Question: an ad from years ago with kids making pictures with their bodies, shot from overhead

Few years ago, an ad ... maybe using the "Mad World" song from Donnie Darko (no, not the GoW spot of late) Black/white shot from overhead, showed kids playing, forming pictures with their bodies... maybe it was for a car?

anyone know what it was, and/or where to find a copy of it?

Did I make this up?

That was the video for the song, it wasn't an advertisement.

ha -- thanks everyone. Embarassingly, I remembered it very differently, and was searching for an ad, which it ain't. Which is, after all: good news.

The Xbox 360 (and now PC) game "Gears of War" used Mad World in an ad they had last year or so.
