SLYT - A Story of WWII in a sand animation. A young woman demonstrates her mastery of performance-art animation on the Ukrainian version of "Britain's Got Talent." Unexpectedly powerful.

For the love of crying out crap, I really wanted to see that.

Unfortunately, it's a double.

Excellent video, though.

That's amazing stuff. Can anyone translate the final bit of text at the end?

That was really, really awesome. Anyone have some info about the songs and lyrics played during each section, and whether any of her images are especially iconic to the Ukrainian people?

Wow, that was really lovely. If it's been posted before, I didn't see it.

Thanks for sharing this!!

That was brilliant!

The final part of the music was Mettalica's "Nothing Else Matters" performed by a string orchestra.

Apocalyptica - Nothing Else Matters

There were two songs by Apocalyptica, at 3:46 and the last song.

I really, really liked this. Hadn't seen it before. I kinda wished they kept the camera on the artist's work instead of cutting to her or the audience, but I still appreciate the performance.

Incredile.

I have never heard of sand animation before this FPP and just found this one and this, among others.

There's even a website devoted to the art.

I normally don't do this, just chime in to restate what the last 10 posts have said, but that was breathtakingly amazing. Unbelievable. Thanks.

Can we do a swap with Ukraine for the odd Scottish woman who can't sing very well?

Oh wow. I think of sand animation as those shorts which I used to see in Sesame Street decades ago. I've never seen anything like this before.

I find myself all misty even though I don't know what it all means. Great post.
