Jury’s prize

Ma’agalim

by Uri Lotan & Yoav Shtibelman from Israel; music: Jane Bordeaux

If, like the DP editorial team, you are not fluent in Hebrew, here is an extract from the lyrics of the song “Ma’agalim” in English: “Nights turn into days, days turn into years – and among them I was going faster in circles. It’s not me who’s moving forward, It’s time that’s moving further away.” To visualise the quintessence of this meaning in the music video, Lotan and Shtibelman developed this concept of the wooden doll stuck on a roller. The 3:30 minutes of animation material was created in 5 months of work with the support of 11 other artists, including Maya, V-Ray, Cinema 4D, Photoshop, Nuke and DaVinci Resolve.
