2 characters research for sand Animation

Whilst using sand as a medium I wanted to research a few artists to develop my skills. I felt that there would be a certain amount of having to be flexible enough to work with a material that is not structured or solid,however I wanted to look at methods and tools to enable me to produce a coherent piece of work.  I started with some test shots and also looked at artists from the web.
