This is something you just have to see to understand. We all know about the television shows "America's Got Talent," and "Britain's Got Talent."
Well one Kseniya Seminova was the winner of this year's "Ukraine's Got Talent." "Ukraine's Got Talent?" Who knew? Not that the Ukraine doesn't have talent, of course...I mean that they had their own talented folks TV show.
I subscribe on my Google Reader to "MilkandCookies." About one out of every 20 videos that they feature are worth posting. And I don't usually even post those. But when I saw this headline: "Sand Animation, Ukraine's Got Talent," and when I saw the run time was over 8 minutes, I thought, "I don't have time for that."
But I decided to hit the link, and check it out. About 45 seconds into the video, I was hooked! I did a little research on the world wide computer, and found that she won a first prize of roughly $125,000. I'd say WORTH EVERY PENNY!
I do not understand the words, of course, but evidently she is telling the story of the beginning of World War II, and life in The Ukraine during the war. In fact, here is a link to a blog post that has a few more details.
Trust me. Take 8 or 9 minutes to watch this. You. Will. Not. Be. Sorry!

One of the most impressive acts of artistic creation I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteWalt, YOU AND ME BOTH! And I know you've seen a lot more than I have.
ReplyDeleteI was "floored!"
Sure beats the heck out of some ugly chick getting naked in a subway station and standing like a marble statue...and calling it "art."
And ending the performance with "Nothing Else Matters" from Metallica was extra special. Good job, chica!
