Studio Brief 1 - Process and Production - Sand Animation

Sand animation is a practice that consists of a series of images created by an artist to create a feature of moving images. The process experiments with shadow as well as light.

Coraline Leaf is known for her sand animations. She takes the approach of placing sand on to a light box, and combining frame by frame animation in order to create moving images.

The manipulation of the textures allows for a gritty and messy feel to the animation.
