It's impossible to overstate the impact and relevance of this song for me at the moment and I have two interpretations of it. The first is captured perfectly by this video, which crushingly distills the essence of the last 8 an a half years of my life with not exact, but considerable precision. Dan's direction and acting in particular made this video much more meaningful than it might have been if he were left simply portrayed as an uncaring villain (which you might feasibly lift from the song).
Adele of course was equally capable and everything was wholly natural and all too real. I also loved the time-lapse at the end, where it seemed the clouds and shadows were aggregating overhead and swirling below in a responsive dance to the vocals and music as time passes and every memory that went before is fragmented but simultaneously present in your mind at that precise instant, drawing to a crescendo, racing at an uncontrollable pace. Then abruptly it stops, but no conclusion.
My second way of looking at the song; it's about finding it hard to let go, especially not even knowing if it's right/rational to Vs. taking huge risks and severing all ties to do so, perhaps out of necessity or pure impulse or circumstance, or in the belief that it will lead to a greater understanding, realisation and even existence.
The two in the video may have experienced all that, maybe that's what it takes, and so only they can know the conclusion. Perfect video accompaniment Alex.
I really enjoyed this and appreciate the work that must have gone into it!
Seeing Syd Field's The Foundations of Screenwriting as one of the few books left on the shelf roughly two and a half minutes in was a nice touch, though I can't say why.
I discovered this by accident, but now look forward to watching the rest of your short films.
I used to interpret this song in a completely different way, but recent changes in my personal life made me realize the actual story told by the song. Your FMV captures that meaning beautifully--thank you for sharing this amazing video with us!
If you want to see the two lead actors of "Two Birds" playing COMPLETELY different characters, check out my latest short film, Day 1000, by clicking on the the video response below! Let me know what you think! --Alex
I didn't know it was possible, but this video has actually made me like Two Birds more! Excellent clip: idea, execution, cinematography, edition, acting... And God, that ending! Such an intelligent way to end it. Maybe I'm just a little too excited about it because I've just finished it, but this was VERY well done. Congratulations to everyone! :) 5 out of 5!
I was so ready not to like this with the fakey hand gestures at the date... but wow. This was great.
It's funny... I never imagined this song about two lovers. I always saw it as two friends... But it really does make sense for someone to not want to "let go of that wire" in marriage when you think about it.. or just watch this video.. :)
The ending makes the whole video for me, I think. It's that soft yet dramatic re-establishment of emotion. The slow closeup of him playing games while she cleans up is very strong for me too. Nice video.
When I first saw this video last year, I thought, "this is why/how my relationship will end." I was right. Thank you for providing the window for me to see the truth of my life.
That was GREAT!! I loved the video! You have some great techniques, like with the wine glasses and the books on the shelf. Not to mention the sped up videos! I absolutely love this video!
I actually thought this was the official video at first because it was so well done. Very professional made, but then I noticed the description. Really good work though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I hated this. The actor's sucked. The music is stupid, my mom sings better and it's all fake. Just kidding, it's real. This really happened. That guy really sang the lyrics to a Regina Spektor song. She really moves that fast. Stupid.
wow that was really well done and symbolic too.i think though that it should have had the video game issue introduced earlier because i got a bit confused at first as to what the conflict was
@EtoGmajor Yeah, I completely agree -- it's incredibly well done. However, I don't think the video game issue is necessarily the only conflict in the relationship -- I think that, more than anything, it's just that the spark that was once there is fading over time. The scenes from 1:47 to 1:55 show how the amount of interaction between them decreases. Personally, I think the twist in the relationship is shown perfectly well. :3 (haha, not that I'm an expert or any sort)
this is the first video from you i've seen and i'm super very impressed :) ohh i love this song and you did a splendid job! cant wait till you finish the script.
This is so wonderful! I really truly love this video. I have always thought the song was great, but then I watched your video and now I love the song even more. :)
It's so colorful, and the actors are great, and it really fits the song. Thank you for making this and for putting it here.
This vid is so amazing! Really well made, creative, great filming and acting! It's beautiful! The story is so sad, but true. I can think of several couples I know where one wants to do so much with life and the other won't do anything, they just let opportunities pass them by and it's so sad. I'm glad that could be captured so well in this song and this video.
You should make that into a longer thing, I mean, it's amazing. I love it. Although I hate the ending, so suspenseful! This could really be made into a full length film. I'd watch it for sure. What great actors.
OMG! A friend sent me the link to this video and for a sec I actually thought that it was the official music video cuz the quality and all the production is awesome...
It remembered me a little to (500) days of Summer narrative style even...
I would love to see one for "Summer in the City" there is such a beautiful story behind that song, I would really like to see that song come to life..
I've watched this over and OVER again without being signed in so I never commented. I'd just like to say that I LOVE this video! It's really got me excited to look into your other videos, (love the crazy music video:) Creepy--in a good way! You seem to have some really great friends/actors that I see reappear again. I liked the mini movie a lot, Go Maya!) Basically, I just wanted to say keep up the good work :)
Holy sh** I go to YT to find some random "Two Birds" video to show the song to a friend and I find this. It's insanely good. Thank you both for making this video and for choosing one of the best songs of her last album.
