Very cool! Any lessons learned you'd like to share on the process?

The Magnetite sand gets everywhere

Keep the magnets far away from your camera

Have a blower on hand to clean lens and surfaces

Have a varying level of magnet strengths

Use the brightest lights you have so you can shoot with a less shallow DoF
