I hope I’m not the only one who was freaked out and disturbed
by the wolf in Sand or Peter and the Wolf.
I mean, I’m not a horror movie fan anyways, but wow, something about that wolf’s
sand animation really made it freaky. Just the spastic, ferocious movement of
the wolf, its ability to change into anything, and the terrifying soundtrack
that accompanied its every move made it convincingly scary. If I was a little
kid watching this film, I would probably be scared to death.
The
portrayal of the story itself is fantastic, and it still blows me away how all
of that was created from sand. Having myself completed a 10-minute stop motion
animation film in 33 hours, I have such a respect for this animator. Her ability to convey emotion and movement
with purely sand is incredible. To be sure, I will not be forgetting that image
of the wolf the first time it appears. I think that the bare, savage nature of
the sand lends to this terrifying image. It just goes to show that you don’t
have to be an artist to be an animator. Art can be created through any medium
if you have the right mind for it.
Yeah! I'm not the only one who thought that! That wolf seriously freaked me out just like the way you described it, just something about it seems to put me on the edge of my seat (even though I was half-asleep)
