Roger Gihlemoen won The Hedda Award 2013 in the best audiovisual design category for his animation for Jack and the Beanstalk, directed by Mira Zuckermann, Teater Manu.
The Hedda jury gave the following reason:
"Hand in hand with the technical development video and the art of animation have entered the theatre stage. This year's winner has created a virtual world as present as the room the audience is placed in, in which one is pulled in by elegant scene changes and very successful interaction between stage design and animation. The award goes to an artist who has managed to transfer Motion Capture to the medium of theatre and contributed to create a production which makes its mark as yet another success within visual theatre for hearing-impaired children. This year's best audiovisual design award goes to Roger Gihlemoen."
