A formidable creative collective came together recently to craft the music video for "Her Morning Elegance," a single from songwriter Oren Lavie, who co-directed the video with the directing/animating husband-and-wife team of Yuval and Merav Nathan. The piece was shot at the Tel-Aviv studio of Eyal Landesman, a leading Israeli photographer who is renowned for his work in the worlds of theatre and dance. Color and Post were done by resolution LA. Actress and model Shir Shomronis the central figure in the video, which chronicles her day using aseries of eclectic photographic images, all shot from the ceiling aboveher bed.

"This is such a clever and entertaining video," says resolution Senior VFX Supervisor Todd Iorio.  "Working with these beautiful and creative images that come together in a literal and emotional sense was a real thrill."

"Simpletechnical aspects also played a large part in the final look," Iorioexplains. "Having high-quality digital stills as the foundation gave asa lot of latitude to work with in term of color depth and range. We hadthat ‘extra' room to play in the flame and really get the looks wewanted." Iorio notes that, while there is a great deal of excitement atpresent about DSLRs getting the ability to record 1080p video, theimages are compressed in those modes and latitude is really reduced,making it less than ideal. "This project is really exciting, becauseit's the perfect fit for a still camera and plays to all the strengthsof shooting RAW with good optics," he says, "and in the skilled handsof all involved, made for a beautiful end result."
