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. This was not the case for this video. Also the inks are apparently animal friendly and after the video the animals were found to have no injury. You be the judge. Check out the making of video after the jump.
We are deeply saddened to be covering the passing of one of our generation’s most innovative creatives. In writing this I have found new meaning to some her work. 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. Early in her career she was signed to Partizan as a director, where she created her most notable work. Partizan stated “She was a beautiful spirit and an extraordinary talent, she will be greatly missed.”
