Anaylsis - Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie



Oren Lavie's music video for Her Morning Elegance is made entirely using the stop-motion technique. The actors stay on the bed and objects are moved around them to create the illusion of movement, for example pillow "clouds" move across the actress' head as she apparently "walks" down pillow stairs. The characters do not mime along to the words; however their actions often mirror the lyrics, for example as she sits "on a train". The video creates a dream-like quality and complements the music's lyrics and pace, and is overall fascinating to watch as conventional filming techniques are not used - the camera stays in the same place for the entire video and instead the objects are moved. It took roughly 3225 still photos and two days to complete the entire video.
