Her Morning Elegance

A beautiful and smart music video.

A simple idea, but the effort and patience this video took is phenomenal. Appropriate for the lyrics and movement of the music.





The gorgeous melodic song is called
"Her Morning Elegance" which was written and produced by Oren Lavie, from his album "The Opposite Side of the Sea" in 2008, which he released on his own label. This video, as co-director, is his first venture into the moving pictures.

Yuval and Merav Nathan – Co-directors / animation
