"KILL ME WITH SILENCE"
— is a clip about a girl who cuts her father into pieces.
2019 .
I happen to stumble across and then get deeply into the videos of an interesting girl
@DUHOVNOE LITSO - Maria Oz on instagram).
I'm starting to study other modern authors working in the style of stop motion
(not cartoonists)
And I noticed one
GREAT thing
They really create magic, very technically.
But some stop motion animation authors seem to be missing one detail - it should spice it all up with senses and dramaturgy.

We need a strong
story.
LANKA — «Убей меня тишиной»
That's how the idea of creating a stop motion music video for our favorite song

You can also create "reincarnation", the so-called "magic" - when photographing scenes, replace one object with another.
Stop motion animation is not 3D graphics or video. Stop motion (frame-by-frame shooting) is a set of a large number of photo frames (or pictures), connecting which, when when you watch, creates the illusion that objects and characters are moving by itself.

— Personal trauma.
“The wall of silence does not keep by chance..
Actions of deeds, take care of the body,
From shocks, sudden decisions.
And like a fuse I turn off the current,
I digress to a new round.
Kill me with your silence...
Higher. The clouds are getting higher.”

Let's do
a director's analysisof the metaphors I realized in the 3rd scene.
a director's analysisof the metaphors I realized in the 3rd scene.
The mother and the youngest child go off to school,
and the father is alone with his teenage daughter.
For the role of the teenager we called the very same Maria Oz, whose stop motion work inspired me to create this clip.
The role of the father, of course, was given to the performer of the song himself, Alexander Travnikov.
So
The father tries to interact with his daughter, entertaining her.
But Maria shows no interest
- she is bored and dreary.

Why is the clip so surreal?
You needed exaggerated metaphors to convey the meaning.

real?
As a director, I just have to visually pack all the meanings into metaphors, just like the songwriter did with the lyrics.
А техника стоп моушн, в данном случае, стала сильным инструментом для рождения глубоких гипербол.
Hyperbole is...
Poetic technique of excessive exaggeration in order to enhance the impression.
For example:
Mary, with a languid expression on her face, slices her father on a cutting board, and each sliced piece turns into meat.
This symbolizes her attitude to her father.
This symbolizes her attitude to her father.
Or like this:
The father screams silently and can't get out of Mary's eye, but then flows down her cheeks in the form of tears.
With this I showed the father's unsuccessful attempt to reach out to his daughter.
This illustration is symbolic of the daughter's rejection of his attempts to talk.
We filmed the planned video material
within 3 days, and then I leisurely worked on the post-production of the video.
Working with stop motion animation is very painstaking.

For example, it was important to color correct each of the photos.

in this video!
I made my statement!
Showed my vision of the social problem of parents and children!
Alexander Travnikov is also happy to receive a music video in such an authentic genre.
