As part of the 2010 D&AD student awards, we were proud to sponsor the moving image category, as well as set the following brief that the students would use as inspiration for their projects:

“The city is constantly in transition and mutation, disappearing behind changing environments and shifting identities.  create your own ‘adventure in motion’ that explores this.”

We had a fantastic response to the brief with 134 submissions, giving the judges a tough task.

The award ceremony took place last week in the centre of London’s glitzy Spitafields market, and onedotzero director Shane Walter was on hand to present the worthy winners with their D&AD pencils.

First place went to Matthew Young [University of Leeds] for his short animation ‘The City’.

Matthew’s film will now feature in our 2010 onedotzero_adventures in motion festival at BFI Southbank, London from 10-14 of November, and our international tour, as part of the ‘citystates 10′ program.

We were so impressed with the quality and diversity of the work that was submitted, that we awarded two second place pencils.

One went to Rob Francis (London College of Communication) for his short film ‘Project Atlantis’ , and the other went to Aki Chang, Fulya Gulel & Luis R. Serrano (Miami Ad School) for their film which encouraged audience participation.

Congratulations to the winners, and a big thank you to D&AD and all the students who took part in our brief.
