BLESS YOU
STOP MOTION FILM
2020
A music clip made from a mix of sneeze sounds,
COVID-19 masks come to life.
I really wanted to create something that will make me happy during the pandemic .
I saw my house filled with these wired masks and turn it to martial for stop motion.
I wanted the feeling of disgust becoming aesthetically pleasing, fun and cute.
​
Looking back on this film makes me think how proud I'm to create a short film that address live world distress with colors and happy vision.
​
Created this film at 2020-2021, during the covid first wave.
Soundtruck of CML-POP.
Material
I used gloves and a mask in crafting characters for my stop motion art, a deliberate choice that takes my creations with a symbolism to the COVID-19 pandemic,
rendering them in to iconic and simple characters. The simple characters becomes more complex near the end of the film, when the sneezes get more intense- wired mask creatures appear.
Sound
My sound designer CML POP used recordings of diverse sneezes to craft a distinctive soundtrack for the film. Our aim was to capture a range of sneezes that would authentically represent different individuals, searching for those truly unique ones to built the sneezes from.
