i come back about six years later and this is still moving and emotion filled, I hope those who worked on this found success and are doing well
So true
It's probable : it was made in France, and France has a lot of talented artist working on different project. They likely evolved in a professionnal environnement suited for them.
A sand man defends a sand castle. Is the castle made of flesh, or is he made of castle? He screams, for he does not know.
This is cursed

It’s really emotional especially when the guys almost dies and then just manages to stun the crab and STILL holds his ground. He’s fighting a losing battle with more courage than ever
For anyone who’s played WorldBox, this is what the villagers must’ve felt about those giant crabs.

sand castle
@Thịnh Tấn Phạm I wanna click so bad
A Great Leviathan comes for you and yours, and you sacrifice your agency, your identity, with no promise of victory. Those two were goated.
This is truly a wonderful animation. The way this epic battle is portrayed, how it builds up to this massively decisive moment, just for a wave to come crashing down. It truly is a work of art, showing how far one's childish imagination can take them on adventures such as this one.
This honestly would make a great video game concept You play as the sand soldiers and can pull from the sand and combine into various war machines from medieval times. With shells as armor. Various forms of sea life being the antagonist You could do local split screen and online play where players could combine into single forms they both control. A wordless story Call the game Sands of Time The overall plot being that nothing lasts forever, and no matter how hard you fight and the battles you win, eventually everything is wiped away by the sea, however depending on how dark you like your stories, the end could be happyish: the sand soldiers come back after the wave comes, and it's rebuilt again over and over. Pros: effectively only one decal is needed for most of the assets as most are made of the same material. A wordless take on the story would mean less work and people all in all. Everything that isn't sand gets to be really detailed Cons: since no dialogue, the game would need VERY good choreography The shadow simulation would need to be SUBURB since most of the game would be the same textures, shadows would be one of the only ways to see finer details.
Sounds pretty cool tbh
Hmh i wish i can play it

Not only game give me full blown movie i will watched every second of it
I've got a title for the game: sand of Brothers

Wants to eat sand but also not at the same time.

When we were kids our imaginations ran wild while playing, no matter where it was. Great video 👍👍

mert kilicarslan something like the miniscule movie, but more serious
@mert I agree dude!
Bro its not like you think of making a movie and its done it needs hundreds of man power and years of time
Every frame of this video is absolutely breathtaking...I have never in my life ever seen such amazing animation...and 1..the water looks realistic..and 2 the sand physics look amazing..this almost seems like this would be on TVs at the store
Dude it would have ended differantly if they where on the desert

@@toninhosoldierhelmet4033 “the giant enemy crab” (starts beatboxing.)
When you make a short better then Disney’s modern movies You know you’ve accomplished something
I totally agree.
yeah, poor Disney tho
You can make a M O V I E out of this

Than* 😉
6 years and the animation is way better that what Disney is doing. Amazing.
A beautiful pearl relfecting the light, a terrifying monster coming from the darkness, and (of course) a fearless hero on a brave destrier, yes, the battle can begin...It's a timeless scenario, but as in the human universe, the story does't matter, neither the place or the time, because the cause is noble and only the cause matters.
Anakin's worst nightmare.
I don’t like sand
It’s coarse, rough and irritating and it gets everywhere
I was thinking this as I watched it xD
@@p.phann_ same
I killed them.. I killed them all! Not just the crabs! But the Lobsters, and the shellfish too!
Imagine this form the crab’s perspective. He just waddling around and sees some weird looking sand in his way. No big deal He just walks over it and pushes some castles down and a little kid, watching his masterpiece being destroyed, comes up with a story on how his little sand people defended his castle with all they could

Flynn92 the crab is questioning his existants
The crab will be cooked
Form the crabs perspective ;)
You’re like a guy who explains a joke..
I remember watching this. Like sand in the hourglass, you don't notice how much time has passed till you look upon it.
The soundtrack just great, not only did it match the plot but the sound itself was amazing
this was actually one of the best ive ever seen. just wow
Same for me. And too short! We would like more!
Not winning? I..what?? Now that's not fair
Blue Star it takes a long time to make these type of animations.
Not a single word of dialogue , no facial expressions and no blood ...and yet MORE emotion and pain was shown and felt from the music than most Action films. Most Excellent! Simplement le meilleur!
Sometimes body language can be more powerful if used right.
Mad Dog McCoy and u forgot, no sex either
Mad Dog McCoy mdrr
@@roverus2130 Sandy sex? Crikey. Talk about uncomfortable.
4:52 Crab be like : Aight imma head out.
This is the type of thing younger me would imagine, and not just with sand castles. Pretty much any toy with characters and some kind of buildings, and I would even draw stick figures and 2D fights like this. It might just be that it's late at night but wow this video hit like an 18 wheeler.
How is it possible that faceless sandmans have more emotional sense in their movement than some modern day Marvel Movies?
becuse thay do
Even the ancient civilzations people have a senser and good healthy body God Almighty create them gave them these capability to detect dangerous look at animals they have sensor detector in their body is God Almighty above throne in heaven gave them this power
Because this is old animation? They used to have more potentials and efforts into it, look at animation like Ed and else in the channel, though I didn't say evey new animation is bad, it's just decreasing in quality sadly :(
Cause Marvel movies are entirely shot in a Hall full of greenscreens
I feel like it wasn’t only captain marvel
Moral of the Story: If you build an insane sand castle with a stupid amount of detail sand people will exist.
That and sand bending deserves more credit
The moral that I got was: don’t build a sand castle too close to water 👍
truth
*the Asians in the corner*: ah that explains all the little people footprints
Ainz Ooal gown Offensive, but funny.
This is the most emotional I've been in years. Its so beautiful.
We need a movie about this, the animation and storytelling are so good. Truly a masterpiece 👌
Among the dislikes one is certainly from Anakin Am I not right chosen one boy?
You are correct.

+Amaru Blaylock I was all hoping to see that Sand knight? Stand after the wave.. sadly.. no..
... and I regret nothing!
Anthony Blaylock lol
I never thought I could have these emotions for sand... but here we are
Coming back, I still wish this was made into a movie or a series... It was just so magical, and breathed so much life.
I luv how accurately epic this is
"I am the sand guardian guardian of the sand" "Posiden quivered before him" *incoherently yells at ocean*
"Fuck off"
Lol
I loved that video.
You just say OCEAN!!! *armin appears in the chat*
They should make a movie about this, it has so much potential
Alternatively, and this would be a real challenge, put the kibosh on voices, and have the movie be setting driven like it is in this short. That is quite hard to do right, but if they did, it would be a magnificent work of art.
Call Me Titus it could be a voiceless move
Movie
its like the lego movie but better
I mean it'd be hard to discern a main character. None of them have faces XD
I believe this deserves to be a series. I may have said this before, but I mean it. When I say that, it’s because I love it…
This has been recommended to me for years straight and now i finally watch it
Even the musical score is amazing. Deym
yeah its nice
its ok

Living sand, the state shall grow. Bounded walls and legion show. Eyes that guard the orb of white, For beast that lurk such wondrous sight. Dust of men defend to last Hero rise to smite his cast. But fade the place of water's wave, As all such mind for kids to brave.

This is my all-time favorite CGI animated short.
Brilliant - beyond my comprehensive capability as to how these 'animations' are made. The film is definitely thought provoking - I believe it just shows that we are wrapped up in our own little fight for existence but there is a bigger existence encompassing everything!
