Since the song had a poppy, lively feel, I built the motion to match that upbeat image as well. While keeping the animation of the illustrations placed at the center of each cut as the main focus, I made sure the motion of the 2D design did not look too flat when arranged alongside the animation.

When presenting design and illustration animation in motion, I focused on creating movements with a sense of depth and on structuring it so that it would make a strong, lasting impression even in a short runtime.

Oishi Masayoshi “Shinda!” music video. The somewhat shocking title and the world of the video were based on a mix of American retro B-movie horror and otaku culture. It is composed of a live-action Oishi and Zombie Oishi, whose character design was created by animator Hano. The horror-filled world was depicted through animation and live action with projected backgrounds.
