Check out the amazing work  of english animator William J Crook!
Crook´s study of elements (fire, wind) and the way they move is point on translated with leaves, sticks and branches. If we had any doubt about the depiction, the sound makes it crystal clear.
The head of Treat Studio, he´s currently a teacher in Zürich.
Enjoy!
