This research work is a reworking of a video that was shown as a SIGNIF reel at Motion Plus Design Tokyo 2024. By incorporating the unique silhouettes of ceramics and sculpture as motifs for motion graphics, we aimed to achieve both a graphical image and a tactile feeling clean coldness and craftlike warmth. The overall structure of the work, which progresses in an intertwining sequence of multiple patterns, is a motion graphics analogy of the production process of ceramics, from the chaos before the shape is determined, to the determination of the shape, to the change of material through firing.

A reel compiling video works produced up to 2021.

The second opening for the TV anime Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia. Set against the backdrop of the ancient Mesopotamian civilization of the BCE era, the animation features an organic visual direction that blends earth and sand with the gold and wealth of Gilgamesh, one of the story’s main characters. For the chorus section, the team explored new ways of combining key animation, motion graphics, and CG, aiming for visuals in which character animation, hand-drawn effects, and particle expressions influence one another. The production team consisted of the members who had previously worked on the opening of DARLING in the FRANXX, with Shun Yamaguchi, Kita, and Hanasaka joining the team to handle their respective parts.

Responsible for the TRIGGER corporate logo, avant motion graphics, and title logo animation for the feature film Promare. In the avant, we used motion graphics to abstractly express the spread of the Burnish as a phenomenon, serving as a prelude to the main story. In terms of the look as well, rather than simply using an old film look, we developed new shooting processes specifically for this project and applied special gradient treatment. The title logo animation was designed with the transition from the avant to the main film in mind, directly translating the energy of Promare into motion.

The combination of shapes and colors creates a complex rhythm within the frame. This is classic motion graphics that pursues the pleasing qualities of patterns built from minimal elements.
