Jaw-Dropping Animated War Short - CONFUSION THROUGH SAND

With everything shifting more and more into the digital age, it's increasingly rare to find filmmakers still working on hand-drawn animation in the old-school, flipbook-style method. But that's exactly what the folks at Ornana Films did for their new short film Confusion Through Sand, and the results are absolutely stunning. (We actually featured the trailer for this project nearly a year ago, but now the full project is online for all to see.)

Here's the brief synopsis:

A nineteen year old kid finds himself alone in a hostile desert, scared as hell and trained to react.

I haven't seen American Sniper yet, but I'm hoping that it has the same level of suspense as this does.

After you watch the video, you might be thinking the same thing I did: I wish I could have seen how they worked on this. Well, we're in luck, because they've also posted a behind-the-scenes video, which I'll embed below the short. Thanks to Benjamin Wiessner for sending this our way, and be sure to let us know what you think in the comments below.
