The Birds
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Film Advertising Crafts / Animation for Film Advertising / 2012
France 24 is an international French news channel. Very popular in the Arab world, it has been a major source of information during the Arab Spring of 2011, especially through Twitter. To illustrate this, we represented Ben Ali, Mubarak and Gadhafi in a film referencing Hitchcock's famous movie, ‘The Birds’. In this film, more and more blue birds continue to observe the three dictators before finally overthrowing them.
