Depict Short Film Analysis - Everything Turns

Everything Turns is a 90 second film by Max Hattler and was made in 2004. The short film is about time, life and death. The animation flows continuously as it shows the creation of a child, development in the womb and birth. Then it shows the baby growing old and dying of old age. The use of circles symbolizes a clock to represent time, a merry-go-round to represent childhood as well as bubbles.

The first shot is of a clock turning to show time ticking. The shot animation develops to a merry-go-round  and bubbles to represent childhood. The merry-go-round changes back to the clock as time is progressing. A bar-code and a countdown appears while a line forms from the clock, which transforms into eyes. The shot is cut to a two people reproducing as we see the fetus grows inside the womb. While the baby is womb everything disappears and objects surround the baby which it'll will face in the future.

A hand cuts across the animation with writing on it. While the hands goes back and forth the screen the animation underneath the hand changes and a egg carten is developed. The words on the egg carten say "fast food" and change to "live fast" while everywhere but the carten is black. A circle is created in the middle and turns into another clock, then into a pie chart like diagram while the lines rotate. The circle splits into multiple circles and disappear like bubbles. Objects like a snail and an apple appear and disappear quickly to show time speeding up. A potato is used top symbolise life and what it goes through, like being chopped. Ducks are then shown on the screen which then cuts to a man watching the ducks. As the ducks swim of a clock appears in the sky and the old man shrinks and turns into a gravestone, while this happens the clock turns into bubbles again for the last time.
