JA全農とっとりの新品種米「星空舞」のテレビCMを、トレースをしないドローイングによるアニメーションで制作しました。 音楽を作曲したVOQと鳥取県の「大山アニメーションプロジェクト」(2016)で滞在制作したご縁から、同県出身のアートディレクター・遠藤礼奈氏ならびに写真家・浜崎昭匡氏による企画チームから依頼されたものです。 この作品は、長い歴史が人々の中に今も息づいている風土を知り、鳥取への郷土愛をもつ多くの方々との交流から実感を得たものです。二十年の歳月をかけて開発された新しいお米は、一粒が大きくて白く輝くという特徴から「星空舞」と名付けられ、アートディレクターの遠藤氏が子どもの頃に友人と砂丘で星空を見上げた記憶にもとづき、無数の星が降り注がれる稲穂の実りのエネルギーを想像しました。

　

Responsible for the planning, direction, and production of the three main contents inside “DMM Kariyushi Aquarium,” a new kind of entertainment aquarium in Okinawa that blends visual expression with spatial design. A story of “water” and “life” projected on a multi-screen large display A large-scale video content experience through which visitors first encounter the “beauty of Okinawa” (approximately 12 m wide by 4 m high, with 6 m of depth on both sides). It takes visitors on a virtual flight across Okinawa’s rich natural scenery, including its distinctive sea, sky, and the Yanbaru forest, as well as historical structures such as Shuri Castle. The Shuri Castle featured in the work was filmed with permission from the Okinawa Commemorative National Government Park Office. A 3D model was created using photogrammetry. A giant diorama space recreating Okinawa’s skies and coastlines Okinawa’s beautiful sea reveals different faces throughout the day. This space was designed so visitors can experience that appeal firsthand. On the faux rockwork surrounding an approximately 18-meter-wide tank, lighting and video work in sync to create colors and shadows that recreate the changing states of the “sky,” “sea,” and “shoreline.” In this space, which shifts from daytime to dusk and then into night, visitors can experience the scenery of each moment. In addition to realistic landscape depiction, the installation also reflects the emotional image of “the Okinawa sea that everyone envisions,” expressing a view that invites people to gaze at it and lose track of time. A fantastical space woven from light and jellyfish A space filled with cylindrical tanks stretching from floor to ceiling. Jellyfish drift gently, illuminated by pillars of light that emit vivid gradients. The space, adorned by the jellyfish and the pillars of light, was designed to evoke a dreamlike, extraordinary atmosphere through repeated transparency and reflection. The tank lighting, the visuals of the light pillars, and the music are all synchronized as part of the production.
