Quote about Sand or Peter and the Wolf [in French]

"Sand s'attaque aux problèmes techniques de base : comment rendre le mouvement des personnages fluide, comment calculer la durée d'un mouvement. [...] Pour Sand [Caroline Leaf] utilise une caméra fixe. Elle découvre comment donner l'illusion de mouvements de caméra en changeant progressivement la grandeur de ses dessins de sable, méthode qu'elle utilise toujours."
-- Jacqueline Levitin (source)
