Official trailer for the 12th New Chitose Airport International Animation Festival. Using natural motifs such as ripples, droplets, and the moon, I wanted to express the festival’s divine energy and a pure admiration for the works. I also used AI to transform hand-drawn 2D animation into three-dimensional, realistic water, making it possible to “move water,” something that had previously been difficult to achieve. On the other hand, I intentionally reduced the image quality and frame rate of the AI-generated footage, and composed the music with a deliberately simple, primal feel, aiming to evoke the festival’s atmosphere where “warmth and sharpness intersect.”
