    Art done with sand and a light table

    All I can say is wow. This is ridiculous mastery over a highly unusual medium.

    I agree with the wow. The amount of practice to go so smoothly from one scene to another. Great performance!
    My fencing philosophy = quantity over quality. Eliminate the rest periods! Fence all three weapons! 15 touches for Vet DE's!

    I love the reaction shots of people crying.

    I also wonder how she resists the urge to wipe her hands on her bib.

    Very cool! Good post! Reminds of another outside-the-box medium... gunpowder art! For those who haven't seen it I highly suggest doing a Google Images search of Gunpowder Art. Very neat (but I've always been partial to this sort of creativitiy).

    Absolutely brilliant!!

    I think I understand the crying, tho....it looked like she'd made a memorial to Russian war dead (eternal flame at the base of the cenotaph), and the guy in the window at the end looked to be wearing a Russian naval uniform....possibly the father of teh child in the window (wearing the same cap). Plus the date at the end.

    Anyone know what she wrote at the end??
