Warning: This video might be upsetting to some readers.

Director Roel Wouters has created this controversial but compelling video for the band zZz. Normally birds are given barbs and spurs when fighting so that they cut each other.

Check out the making of video after the jump.

In the past, I have viewed her many pieces with admiration, the above video now makes me teary. On Sunday September 7, acclaimed director Nagi Noda died as a result of surgical complications from injuries she sustained in an automobile accident last year. Noda was just 35 years old.

Born in Tokyo, Nagi Noda remains one of Japan’s most accomplished young artists. Her inventive projects and unique approaches have inspired viewers across the globe.
