GALLERY 03: Eastpak - The Birds

This is Snack Inc's follow-up to their similarly bizarre Eastpak spot, in which circus freaks presented a disembodied head with a backpack as a birthday present. In 'The Birds', a happy young couple's holiday goes horribly wrong, thanks to a flock of Hitchcockesque pigeons. Only their rucksacks survive the attack. Frederic Vercheval's music deserves a special mention, moving from '60s French lullaby to ominous gloom. Vicious storms and recalcitrant pigeons were the primary obstacles to the Prague shoot, but these difficulties are belied by the easy spontaneity of the resulting film.
