Oren Lavie's Her Morning Elegance: Fun in Bed with Stop Motion Animation

This music video by Oren Lavie, "Her Morning Elegance," shows how much fun you can have in bed with stop-motion animation.

From Oren’s MySpace page:

*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.

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

* It took only 2 days of shooting for the live actors on set to re-create the 3.5 minutes computer sequence, frame by frame.

* Some of the bed sheets used in the video were taken from Oren’s own bedroom and are now considered collectors items, worth at the moment not very much and therefore used as bed sheets.

* Each of the wonderfully talented people above have worked on the video for a fraction of their normal rates (except Oren who worked for his normal rate of zero).

Don’t worry, completely safe for work (this is Neatorama, after all).

    The creativity in this is simply unbelievable! The song is hypnotic, too, with wonderfully poetic lines. (Thought I don't know much about poetry.)

    ...soon she's down the stairs
    her morning elegance she wears.
    the sound of water makes her dream
    awoken by a cloud of steam
    she pours a daydream in a cup
    a spoon of sugar sweetens up...

    (If someone wrote about my morning routine, it would be, "She stumbled downstairs and poured some coffee.")

    Very creative and elegant, i hope Oren Lavie gets a great success with this song. Stop motion is the stuff dreams or made of.

    Incredible. I was actually planning to shoot a stop motion animation on film soon with some extra film i have. That video was some great inspiration.

    Only thing I noticed was that someone from the crew's leg is in the shot around 1:54 at the right of the screen. Usually small stuff like that isn't noticed, but it takes up a significant part of the negative space and creates a shadow making stand out even more.
