I love this video from Oren Lavie. It must of taken ages to make this video, its very impressive, i know i could never do something like this. It keeps my attention when I watch it because there is so many creative things about it and you would want to know what's going to happen next...and its fun.What a great music video.


The lighting is mostly the same throughout the whole video except on two parts in the video when the colour of the sheet changes to a dark blue making it look like the girl is underwater then on a next bit where the is made to look like she's looking out of a window on the corner of the bed and this time the lighting changes to look like night time with only light shining on her and it blacks out for a second then it comes back on and blacks out again and comes back on giving the effect of a change of scene when every time it blacks out and the beat of the the song in the background fits with the black outs. On some bits of the video the music is quick and so the video goes quickly as well. Most of the colour that is used in the video is white, the girl is in white through the whole video, but the objects or things in the video are different colours except the clouds.


What is it about/What happens?
Its about a girl having a dream on a bed-perfectly fitted with the music as the music is describing what is happening in the video. The girl goes through different scenes with all sorts of things happening around her and to her, one minute she's walking then she's falling into the sea with socks made to look like fish. The video is an example of pixilation-something made to look like its created by pixies, the things happening in the video is what you wouldn't usually see happening in real life like someone flying.

The album track 'Her Morning Elegance' is synched to feature on a US Chevrolet commercial.The author who has never owned a car in his life and who has wholeheartedly ignored the invention of the television set, could not stop giggling for many days.With a song in his heart he continued to take the bus.
