Durban freelance motion designer Matt Dippenaar has won the MTV Art Beat short video competition.
Dippenaar’s winning clip Bursting will be broadcast on music channel MTV on DSTV Channel 130 from 1 October. The 25-year-old creative will launch his career in broadcast and design with a six-week internship at the MTV headquarters in Johannesburg.
The competition challenges industry newcomers aged 18 to 35 to create a short video using the MTV logo and themes based on the brand values.
Creative director of Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Africa, Tim Horwood, says: “Matt interpreted the brief brilliantly, creating a confident and powerful short clip that communicates the essence of MTV in just a few short seconds of video.’
