A mysterious vinyl single gives a young woman the power to move back and forth through the years of her life
The story behind A Single Life should inspire animators everywhere: a 2-min film made by three self-taught filmmakers within three months at their own small Utrecht design studio, that went on to become nominated for an Academy Award this year. The film was directed, animated and produced by Job, Joris & Marieke who met whilst studying product design at the Design Academy in Eindhoven (Netherlands).
Interestingly, the idea behind A Single Life was born when listening to Abba’s Waterloo on a vinyl record and the record skipped. The trio immediately thought it could have been possible that time had skipped instead. The idea stayed and about ten years later, it became a film.
A Single Life tells the story of Pia, who after playing a mysterious vinyl single is suddenly able to travel through her life at different ages and stages all within the space of one song. Allowing us to think about mortality and that time is always running out.
