A convenience store in a rural town. Everyone who gathered there liked to drink the same beverage. A strange incident begins to occur in that town, where people disappear, leaving only their clothes behind. The sheriff spots a suspicious man on a full-moon night, but... A music video for Toma Baba’s “PRIME,” combining paper three-dimensional puppetry by Shotaro Kitada with cutout animation by Moji Tsuchiya.

"EYE SEE" (PAGANI Brand Movie)

Description: An image video for PAGANI, an eyewear brand based in Italy. We created animation for David Taveras’s poem/story, which depicts a journey of finding a vision and rediscovering oneself after having lost sight of it. Thinking through what kind of animation to pair with the English text was both a very difficult and enjoyable process. The animation was produced not only with paper cutouts, but also by incorporating paper-based 3D forms, prints of live-action footage, light and shadows from a projector, and the intense sunlight of midsummer into the filming process.

Description: “Scuffin” refers to the lines etched into a bottle through repeated use. A returnable bottle requires the extra step of being returned in order to be used again. This is the story of a bottle journeying around the earth, marked with “scuffin” as proof that someone returned it. A web movie for Pocari Sweat’s returnable bottle. The scenes in which the bottle glows were filmed by shining projector light onto cut-paper artwork.

Method: Stop motion I created this piece while sharing backgrounds and characters with Moji Tsuchiya, each of us imitating the other’s characters. Tsuchiya created the basic storyboard, and we worked out the overall feel of the film by sharing the footage as it was completed. There is a Go scene in the video, and it felt like we were making it while watching each other’s moves, as though I were playing Go with Tsuchiya.
