Description

This video is a viral ad created by effects company Motion Theory.

A brown bird is perched on a rock, and a golden one flies onto a nearby branch. Everything is serene, including the music. A little beam of light zips from the right bird to the left (apparently the sharing of a song), causing the brown bird to burst in flames, the camera rotating, and the music becoming a screaming roar.

Then the flames go out, and it becomes calm again. The bird on the left molts and reveals a blue, green, and purple coat of feathers. Before you know it, both birds catch on fire, and they continue their headbanging.
