Kseniya Simonova - Sand Animation

An amazing animation using sand? From Ukraine Got Talent Winner. 


TOONY THOUGHTS

It pushes the boundries of what animation can be.This artist from Ukraine tells the story of life during USSR's Great Patriotic War against the Third Reich in World War II. She does this by manipulating sand. And to think I have trouble making sand castles. WATCH IT and BE AMAZED TOO!

BBC Sport's marketing campaign and titles for the 2008 Olympic Games based upon the traditional Chinese folklore 'Journey to the West'.

TOONY THOUGHTS

PUPPET: A Film by Patrick Smith

It is a story about a young man who creates a hand puppet that hurts him in increasingly gruesome and bizarre ways. It is a story of desperation, fear, and an ever-present question: does the puppet have a mind of its own, or does the hand want to control it this way? 


TOONY THOUGHTS

I love this.

The animation is incredible. The story is funny and very smartly written. The music compliments the tone of the film.

Patrick Smith is an animation force to be watched.
