While we all celebrate our graduates and begin to think about spending more time outdoors in our parks and at our beaches, we thought we would share with you a recommendation from one of our favorite 5th grade graduates, Picture House Director of Education’s son, Finn. It’s another beautifully animated film brought to you by the CG geniuses at ESMA (Ecole Superieure des Metiers Artistiques) that takes a close-up view of the imaginary world of a summer beach sand castle. Sand is particularly difficult to animate well, and it’s done excellently in this short. And who knew a crab could be so intimidating?
