Haroula Rose: Free to Be Me

Michaela Čopíková, Veronika Obertová | Slovakia | 2011 | 5 min

One of the first commissions of Ové Pictures was a poetic music video for an American filmmaker and musician. The authors chose cutout animation subtly supplemented by 2D animation. A girl wakes up and sets out for a place where dreams go during the day as it is the only place where she can truly be herself. This music video is the most popular video on Rose’s YouTube channel.

Antioquia: Idaho

Veronika Obertová, Michaela Čopíková | Slovakia | 2012 | 3 min

To make this music video for the song Idaho by an American prog-rock band, the authors from Ové Pictures used their favourite cutout animation. The main hero of the music video is a bus driver who sees a bison in a forest. And weird things start happening. At the end of the music video, we will see the band members themselves portrayed by cutout animation.

About Socks and Love

Michaela Čopíková | Slovakia | 2008 | 7 min

This metaphoric story about a couple who just moved in together is told from the perspective of the woman who soon finds out what her boyfriend hides in his mysterious bag. The man “must” work, but what role will she have? This artistically simple but interesting symbolic film was one of the films that drew attention to young Slovak animation. It was also the director's graduation film at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava.

White Hinterland: Amsterdam

Michaela Čopíková | Slovakia | 2009 | 3 min

A music video for American musician and singer Casey Dienel, who used to perform under her stage name White Hinterland. The director chose efficient 2D computer animation visualising the setting and characters as silhouettes. The chosen frame reminiscent of book illustrations helps to create a mythological and fairy-tale atmosphere.

Dust and Glitter

Michaela Čopíková | Slovakia | 2011 | 12 min

This simple story about two people from different environments who live next to each other but never communicate directly is inspired by the city of San Francisco and its inhabitants, dust and glitter. Magda, a young, naive girl, is astonished by the glitter of the city and Trevor, an older homeless man who has spent many years on the street and must fight to defend his territory now.

Nina

Michaela Čopíková, Veronika Obertová | Slovakia | 2014 | 18 min

Nina is a story of a timid boy and a little woodland nymph who are connected and yet divided by fear. They form a strong bond but as the friendship turns into love, the fear grows. This very original film, both graphic and animation wise, deals with the way the characters overcome their fears.
