Sand Pies

Hot sand pies to sell,
hot sand pies to sell,
Pat them down tightly,
and turn them out well.

Build a castle in the sand; watch the waves carry it away.  I take pleasure in experimenting in animation with unusual mediums I found sand to be the hardest.  Sand seems to animate it’s self it takes on a life of its own and is extremely unpredictable.  I relish in a constant state of chaos and adore randomness I plan to work with sand in the next quarters for the production of Film School University.  I will experiment with rotoscoping a highly sexualized, erotic video with sand in order to turn it into a beautiful piece of art.  Sand is exceptionally difficult to work with; being that you can not erase or redo any one shot it must be at a constant movement, and leaves no room for error.  I realize this may mean living in the animation lab for several days but I’m willing to forego sun for a couple of days to complete this aspect of the project.
