An animated music video created by Yuval and Merav Nathan. Song by Eatliz Sometimes a beach isn’t just a beach. And, as night falls, that is exactly the case in this beautifully shot and animated video from Yuval and Merav Nathan. As the sun goes down over the ocean, the sand comes to life and takes on the forms of an entire mini eco-system of aquatic life. Sea turtles are born, eels emerge to pursue their prey and Mother Earth orchestrates it all. This sensitively told story focuses on one newly hatched sea turtle, during his trek back to the ocean to find his mother. We see not only the beauty of his new world, but also the terrifying reality of his journey, through his innocent eyes. This artful video was created using stop motion. Most of the clip was shot at night on beach, using the available sand and water and incorporating the natural effects of the waves and the wind. All of the characters are moving sculptures created directly out of sand. It is as though the beach itself is telling you its tale.
