Prettysoon
Sand AnimationThis sand animation is a personal project several years in the making. Since I first heard the song “Prettysoon” by Myles Cameron in February 2020, I had crafted an entire storyboard in my head long before I knew anything about motion design. Fast forward to early 2022, I finally I had the skills to create exactly what I had imagined a few years before.

The Problem
A personal problem but a problem nonetheless.
After COVID inevitably spiked in the US, my laptop became an extension of my body and my work could all fit on one screen. I was experiencing burnout and my neck was beginning to hurt.
What can I do as a fun project that is NOT designed on a computer?

The Solution
A music video created entirely out of sand.
I was really inspired by the work of Ukrainian artist, Kseniya Simonova. The stories she tells are so rich and emotional especially paired with incredible music. I watched her performances as well as those of a few other artists to understand the process.
