Music video for “Christmas Starlight,” a December learning song from NHK E-tele’s “The Wakey Show.” It’s a song with the theme, “How about sending each other letters as Christmas presents?” Featuring all of the show’s puppet characters, as well as Elmo and Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. Blending live action, diorama, and hand-drawn animation, the video creates a world full of ideas to keep young viewers engaged. I was responsible for the direction and editing, including all compositing. Editing software used: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve

NHK E-tele’s “The Wakey Show” music video for the September 2025 learning song, “The Song of Impressionism.” This song is about a character named “Marigold,” who is well-versed in art, and is themed around “a song that teaches you about the art movement Impressionism.” In the video, the “Motte Pets” dolls, which appear in various roles throughout the program, are dressed up as Impressionist painters, and the piece is edited so that Marigold and the painters seem to be singing together. I was responsible for the direction, character design for the painter costumes, magical CG, and editing, including compositing. Editing environment: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve
