Sivan Talmor: Sad Heart

This new video for Israeli singer-songwriter Sivan Talmor is a beautiful piece of animation that sees a lone woman make a seemingly arduous journey across a series of landscapes and, ultimately, a soundwave. Directed by Karni & Saul through Sulkybunny, the haunting promo is, says the directing duo, "a kind of study of the sound waveform".

"The concept was to take a character for a journey along the song's waveform and see what happens," they continue. "So the whole 'world' is actualy generated from the sound. It offered a great way to interact with the music, as suddenly our hero was facing terrifying cliffs when there was a silent bit between verses, or had to climb [or] fly over peaks in order to keep going through the more dynamic sections of the music. As usual, the concept was quickly left behind to make space for what it is really all about... an emotional journey."
