Director's Works
Avett Brothers, Love of A Girl Victor Haegelin
"Victor discovered cinema, and animation in particular, during his studies at FAMU Prague cinema school. Inspired by Eastern European Masters of animation like Jan Svankmajer or Jiri Trnka, Victor decided to teach himself stop motion. He was noticed by producers playing with clay in a corner during a training period, and started his career directing a film for Radio Nova that went on to win awards. Since then he has directed stop motion films for WaxTailor, Caravan Palace, McDonalds, KitKat, Lego, DailyMirror, Nestlé, Disney, Galerie Lafayette, Berlutti to name but a few… Victor loves to give life to objects in everyday places. He pretends to be the fastest animator in Paris. He is working to be the fastest in France! And he aims to be the fastest in the woooOOOooooorld !"
The new visual for “Love Of A Girl” tells a stop motion story with impeccable attention to detail in the song’s rapid fire lyrics, breakneck phrasing and rollicking inflections, referencing everything from haymakers to Huckleberry Finn, herds of sheep, history and heartache. The music video also blends mediums of animation, live action and these jam packed three minutes mark another instance of The Avett Brothers‘s continued love for constant imagination and character creation.
