Two Little Birds


This is a fun little animation for a new player called Zune!

A seemingly harmless interaction between two animated birds takes a twisted and fiery turn. The seemingly hostile attack turns out to be a random act of sharing, and soon, both birds rock together to the tune of Ashtar Command’s “The Second Coming of the Monkey God.” Conceived by 72 & Sunny, the spot was created as a viral piece for the launch of the Microsoft Zune, highlighting the music player’s wireless file-sharing capability on the website www.comingzune.com. Motion Theory created the spot, with director of animation Nick Losq working closely with art directors Guilherme Marcondes and Mark Kudsi to create birds that can say it all with just their eyes, and a world that mixes real and animated features.

Hahah,
That's great. I love the qucik and jerky movements, they fit so well with the music. Thanks for posting it.

Glad you like. Was fully animated on ones before the client decided they wanted it to look more low-fi, 'like Ren and Stimpy' was how they described it. Wished I would've known that from the start. Back on 4's, I slid around the keys to match the music.
