Snowman and sand daruma correspond through bottles, a bit of stop motion animation

A sand doll made of sand picks up a bottle filled with snow at the beach one day. Sand Darum will fill the bottle with sand and return it to the sea and a snowman living in a snowy river that is far away, entrusting to the drifting bottle "commuting" will begin. Soon they will want to see you ... ... I will introduce a stop-motion animation "Bottle" that draws a sad story named as ... ... on the sound of the waves.

A bottle that flowed to the coast.


"Sand Daruma" picks up.


It was white snow that was inside.


Sand Darum fills the bottle with the coastal sand and returns it to the sea.



Meanwhile, far away snowy riverbanks.


The snowman picks up the sand bottle that has flowed past.


It seems that the snowman decided to send back the pine leaves.



A sand doll that places the received pine leaves on his head.


I will place the seaweed that the sand Daruma sent by the snowman on my head.


While interacting with gifts like that, the two are in a pretty funky figure ....



Sand Daruma writes a letter, did she want to meet up?


It seems that it was a picture letter that was drawn smoothly.


Can we meet a sandball and a snowman who has developed friendship through a bottle ...?



Like a sad ending, in some sense this stop motion like a happy end is based on the American West Coast AnimatorKirsten LeporeThanks. In addition, you can see Kirsten Lepore's work from the following link.
