Sand Animation
砂アニメーション / 1960s– / Technik / Animationstechniken
Sand animation moves grains across a light table frame by frame. Thickness controls transmitted light from amber to black, and every contour continually breaks apart as its particles become the next image.
Transmitted tone ranging from amber to black by sand thickness / Finger-drawn grooves and pushed granular edges / The next image emerging from traces swept out of the last / Uneven particles scattering around contours

Wörterbucheintrag
- Geeignet für
- Telling fable, dream or natural cycle through images that form and vanish in one field · Adding hand-paced granular abstraction to music or spoken narration
- Typografie
- Draw only short words as broad grooves or density changes, placing longer reading in separate subtitles.
- Komposition
- Keep the light table broadly open and gather dark sand at the focus. Choose one part of each image to carry into the next.
- Material
- Spread even-grained sand thinly over transmitted light, build darkness by depth, and record each move made by finger, brush or card.
- Zu vermeiden
- Sand-colored noise or footage of a finished sand picture is not the technique. Grain thickness, transmitted light and physical redistribution must form every frame.
