Indiematik loves this italian artist and his amazing stop motion art.

A very nice indie experiment with stop motion. Indiematik finds this video amazing and very similar to another work… but still can’t remember the title…

So that’s the text you can find about Oren Lavie and his video on his myspace:

Her Morning Elegance
Directed by Oren Lavie, Yuval and Merav Nathan
Featuring Shir Shomron
Photography by Eyal Landesman
Color Todd Iorio / Resolution
Produced by Oren Lavie

Oren Lavie is a songwriter of curly brown hair, whisperish voice, green eyes and suspiciously cold feet. He was born in 1976, two minutes behind schedule, and has been trying to catch up ever since.

In 2007 Oren’s debut album, THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SEA, was released in Europe. If you happen to live in that particular continent – buy it around the corner, behind the bakery and next to the flower shop.

In January 2008 Oren has started his own label in the US, named it, then renamed it, changed it again and finally decided to call it A Quarter Past Wonderful. He then released the album on i-tunes US.
Later in the month the album has been featured on the i-tunes Singer/Songwriter Spotlight, after which it auspiciously climbed to No. 30 on the charts.
Shortly after that, the album track ‘Her Morning Elegance’ was chosen to feature on a US Chevrolet TV commercial. The aforementioned author, who has never owned a car in his life, and who has diligently ignored the invention of Television, could not stop giggling for days.
With a song in his heart he continues to take the bus.

A full physical US release of THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SEA is planned for later, somewhere between a little later and quite-considerably-later, depending on a series of ever changing factors of mysterious nature.

THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SEA album was written and produced by Oren Lavie, and recorded in his Berlin apartment throughout a period of 3 years.

Notte Sento

A girl misses her train to Milan and is set to wait overnight in Rome until dawn. However, a chance encounter with a guy changes her plans and the night lights of the capital turn into the background to a tender love story. An extraordinary chemistry made of knowing glances and small gestures fills the few instants that separate them both from the sunrise.

Short film made with 4500+ still photographs. Shot with a Canon EOS 30D camera.

Funded by the Seagate Creative Fund in 2008.
Italian language with English subtitles.

blink

blink is 9 short films coming together. Each film starts with a blank screen and a soundtrack for the first few seconds challenging the audience perception of a non-visual narrative mildly alluding to loss of vision. This physical loss is juxtaposed with a common theme that the 9 films have – the human emotion of loss; be it a mother’s loss of her child’s normal childhood or something as trivial as a man’s loss of his hair.
