Jury report: This one minute is a splendid piece of image engineering, its content is communicative and layered, the marvelous visuals refer to the original context of film: the vaudeville. This one minute plays with the concept of time and the final message is easy to understand though very true.
Let us all be more flexible!
Background:
The film combines simple statements/recommendations with a flexible clock in the literal sense. The visual effect is accomplished by a so-called time warp effect, which also from a technical perspective uses time flexibly: The resulting video is generated from the recorded video by mixing original frames from different points in time, according to their position on the screen.
