The video has had over 14 1/2 million views, so it’s gotta be pretty good!

The “sand animation artist” in this video is Kseniya Simonova – winner of the 2009 Ukraine’s Got Talent tv show contest. The depicted scene, according to wikipedia, “portray[s] life during the USSR’s Great Patriotic War against the Third Reich in World War II.

Sand animation is a unique art form and storytelling technique that I’ve never seen before. It’s fun to watch and it has helped get my creative juices flowing again.

You can see more videos of Kseniya Simonova’s animations on monkeylog.com. Enjoy!
