Goldwin : Branded Film 2019

2019
Only Image
JKD planned and produced a brand film for Goldwin, a brand that has spent more than 50 years developing comfortable, functional apparel using the technology it has cultivated in the field of skiing. The setting was the backcountry of Hachimantai, a 1,613-meter peak spanning Iwate and Akita Prefectures. In this dreamlike film, only a single ski track is drawn across an empty, silver-white slope, throwing up clouds of snow and expressing the world of the Goldwin brand, which is infused with the spirit of minimalism. For the shoot, the latest drone, the DJI Inspire 2, was used, and backcountry specialists Katsuyuki Kono and Kazushige Sekiya, who were stationed on a ridge about two kilometers away, were captured carving down the snowfield with a high-speed camera. In this version, the skiers were removed in post-production, emphasizing the beauty of the tracks etched into the silver-white slope and the presence of the unseen skiers, resulting in a piece that allows the audience to feel as though they themselves are blending into nature. Directed by Chris Ladds. Music by Berlin-based composer Midori Hirano.

PwC Japan : Audio VIsual Installation

2018

At the entrance of PwC Japan’s office in Otemachi, Tokyo, a consulting firm with more than 200,000 staff across 158 countries, a permanent audio-visual installation produced by JKD in collaboration with the architecture and design firm Gensler has been installed. For this project, an animation work was created for a 5-meter-high, 5-meter-wide wall, making use of calligraphy by the calligrapher Ukyo Kamigori, which had previously been on display there. Led by creative director Norimichi Asai and created in collaboration with calligrapher Mami and animator Hideki Inaba, the installation transforms dynamic brushstrokes into rich colors, creating a space that evokes a refined Japanese aesthetic. The sound design, by Daisuke Tanabe, draws viewers into the serene yet richly decorative animation.

THE NORTH FACE: GLOBE FIT INSTALLATION

2018
00:02:58
An audiovisual installation for The North Face’s new product, Globe Fit, planned and produced by JKD, was displayed at the storefront of The North Face Play in Hibiya Midtown for a month, drawing considerable attention. This innovative installation combined mannequins wearing the product with transparent OLED displays, creating a fresh new experience. Inspired by products based on Wholegarment manufacturing, in which garments are knitted from a single thread, we produced a roughly 10-minute movie. The work blends handwritten animation by artist Tatsuhiro Ariyoshi, woven together with a single line, and an audiovisual visualizer created through a collaboration between programmer Masayuki Daishima and JKD.

Airbnb: Kanazawa | Not Yet Trending

2017
00:01:43
A new Airbnb series, “Not Yet Trending,” showcases the world’s most captivating cities gaining attention as travel destinations through edgy visual expression. For the first Japan installment, we produced a film featuring Kanazawa at JKD. This time, we took on a new challenge: a hybrid form that combines a music video and a documentary. By skillfully blending a powerful track based on the Japanese musical scale with the stories of four hosts, we present the refined charm of Kanazawa in a new way.
