its amazing how he actually drew on the film and made these dots and stuff appear. He even drew his own audio track by drawing an audio line onto the film. theres another guy named pierre drouin who used needles to poke film and make a sort of grid picture. i dont think any of his stuff is on youtube, though.

never mind the sand part, I mixed it up with another artist: Caroline Leaf. Damn, canadians are crazy!

Just in case anybody wants to see Drouin's work: his name is Jacques Drouin, not Pierre, And there's tons of his stuff here. Start with "Mindscape", it offers a good introduction on Drouin's work. Apparently his main animation technique is through "pinscreen" which is actually sand on a back lit glass pane where the movement of the image is created by moving small amounts of sand (with a pin) in order to get a general movement frame by frame. It would be nice to be able to do this with pixels ^^

Watched this in a modular theatre, a couple of days ago. Had to rewatch.

God, this is trippy, but one of the most amazing things ever.
