Monika Kuczyniecka — Independent Discovery of the Year 2010 — made another of her film/video clips, using the favourite technique of slow-motion animation and Plasticine. The video clip is titled Toys and serves as a music illustration to a song, taken from the latest album of Bajzel. The artist has used Plasticine to make a number of images, which are combined is an extremely dramatic and expressive video clip.
