World Cup sand art on Tudou

With the football World Cup kicking off tonight in South Africa lots of World Cup related films are being uploaded to Tudou. One of them is especially good and is made by a sand artist.

Sand art is a pioneering performance art among the Chinese internet video population. Tudou is one of the biggest platforms for sand art performances as renowned artists regularly show their projects here.

The video begins under the drum beat with animals lying on the South African horizon. Then all of a sudden giving way to a football and a proud football player stepping on it. He cruises, shoots, and stops the football confidently and yet gracefully in the hands of our sand artist, and as the crowd cheers, he scores!

If the frame above doesn’t work you can also watch the short film here on Tudou.
