Anatomy of a good gesture

“Can the flapping of a butterfly's wings in Brazil cause a tornado in Texas?” This question from Edward Lorenz, better known as Butterfly effect, is the basis of the concept of this video: how can a small gesture that is completely trivial cause unbearable back pain?

Co-directed with Éric Michel, we chose to mix live video and stop-motion in order to allow us movements that were impossible to reproduce otherwise.
We also wanted a memorable video for the audience.
