Sand Animation
Sand Animation
Sand animation is a really neat art. Actually, it's more of a really messy art, but let's not get picky.
Take a few minutes to watch this video. It's a couple years old, but it's certainly worth watching. From what I have gathered, this was the opening "act" for SICAF 2003. SICAF is the Seoul International Cartoon & Animation Festival. The clip features Ferenc Cako telling the story of Genesis 1-3 via sand animation.
Granted, the art created is not breathtaking, but the method certainly is. Then again, you try your best to create some "breathtaking" art as quickly as he does. That's where the "animation" comes in.
If this video had piqued your interest, check out Ferenc Cako's homepage, as well as sandanimation.com.
I think that an interesting finale to his show would be to have a beach bully run up and kick his creation over, but that's just me.
