Her Morning Elegance: A Stop Motion Photography Music Video

A friend of mine posted this music video for ‘Her Morning Elegance’ by Oren Lavie (he has a very elegantly designed official site too) on Facebook and it is so well-executed that I had to share it with you.

Created by an Israeli couple (Yuval and Merav Nathan), the video is an example of stop-motion animation made from still photographs. In fact, according to an article on Oren’s myspace blog:

The video was shot all stills – roughly 3225 still photos for the entire video, using one camera, hanging from the ceiling for the main body of the movie.

and

It took 4 weeks before shooting to create an animated computer generated storyboard for the video, with 3d dummies for the characters.

I, personally, can not imagine the amount of thought and effort that has gone into conceptualising the video but it is terribly stimulating, nevertheless. Kudos to everyone involved in it’s production!

Aren’t you amazed by such clever creativity?
