Paper animation wow! Mykonos by Grandchildren

Take art paper, cut into abstract and geometric shapes, film a nearly representational visual story set to popular music, film each small movement of the paper frame by frame, add four weeks of that by a merry band of animators.

I like the way the action and gesture match the haunting music perfectly in mood as well as timing. It's mesmerizing and can grow on you...
