The Sandpit NYC

The talent level of people in this world can, at times, be downright depressing. There are days I like to convince myself that I too have a shot at creating something genuinely creative and beautiful, and then I come across projects like this one. I've never seen anything like this - one of those times that I was left awestruck wondering, "how on earth did they do that?"

Director Sam O'Hare apparently shot this little beauty with all still photography, time lapse style. He then beautified the images in post-production to make the final product look as magnificent as it does - somehow turning real people and their surroundings into small toys and models ("in miniature," as he calls it.) The soundtrack also really brings this short film to life. Impressive work.
