    Microsoft Zune - Two Little Birds

Company / Institution / Agency:


  • Motion Theory

Description:


    A seemingly harmless interaction between two animated birds takes a twisted and fiery turn, as a small swift bird seems to light a large, dopey bird on fire. The 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-shar-ing capability on www.comingzune.com. Motion Theory created birds that can say it all with just their eyes, and a world that mixes real and animated features.
