The masses have spoken! It was a close race, but Raspberry Animation’s Jeroen Zijlstra pulled ahead to be named this week’s winner in our Get with the Times! HD Animation Contest.

His captivating stop motion animation, Awareness, was inspired by German Expressionistic films like Metropolis; TV shows like Big Brother; and films like The Matrix: “I wanted a mix of those all put in one little project.” With a dark, gloomy, and colorless atmosphere, the animation features a robot who lives alone – whose world exists of watching others on TV, without knowing that we’re all watching him at the same time. “It took me 16 weeks to make it from script to screen: 8 weeks for preparation and building it all, and 8 weeks for shooting effects and finishing.”

This cutting edge animation picked up 3,055 MyToons community votes, giving Jeroen his SECOND weekly win in the contest.
