After returning to Japan, the short film “The Moment of Beauty,” released in 2014, was completed. It tells the story of a protagonist guided by light on a journey through an imagined world adorned with particles and lines. The project began from a desire to complete a single short film and, based on it, introduce the production process cultivated in Los Angeles. It was my first attempt at producing a short film that included live action, and after returning to Japan, it was brought to completion thanks to various connections. The work mainly used After Effects and Particular, with Cinema 4D used for the spatial settings and diamond fragmentation. It was selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick.
