Core Facts

Parisian artist Yves Geleyn and New York indie pop duo the bird and the bee team up for the new Zune Arts film. "Mother Like No Other" A tale of just how far a beaver will go to share the perfect gift with mom, the film features a cut-and-paste look reminiscent of an elementary school art project. Geleyn achieves this effect by animating a collage made out of 2D and 3D elements, including fabric, textured papers, and photographs.

Quotes

"A delicate piece of art created by Yves Geleyn that truly captures the meaning of Mother’s Day and is reminiscent of a hand-made art project for mom brought to life through animation and music."
- Robert Schaltenbrand, Zune Arts Brand Manager

"Zune Arts is about exploring friendships in new ways. Mother's Day is about celebrating someone who, to many, is a best friend. It's not hard to do the math. Yves brought simplicity, fun and freshness to the equation. His mom would be proud."
- Glenn Cole, Co-Founder/Creative Director, 72andSunny
