Take it Easy: Sand Animation Splendor

It took Cesar Díaz Meléndez three months, using only a camera, light table and sand, to produce this sand animated film that serves as a video for the song, “No corras tanto,” which loosely translates to “Take it Easy.” And, rather strikingly, Cesar made the film using no added effects or post production. The Making of No corras tanto gives you a good look inside the production process. Other videos by the Madrid-based artist can be viewed here.

A quick PS: The song accompanying the video was written by Cesar’s band, El Combolinga. Visit the band’s MySpace page.
