[TAKARA TOMY Kids] Produced for the YouTube channel. Based on letters sent by children all over the world, this piece was created around the theme of “how Santa prepares presents.” Under the concept of “something you can watch again and again,” various things happen simultaneously on the screen.

Description: A telephone’s experience, which instantly connects people by carrying a buoyant invitation, an intimate conversation, or sad news as a distant (“tele”) voice/sound (“phone”), remains unchanged from past to present in the awkwardness of that connection. The time spent waiting for a call, the coarse sound quality, the slight delay, and the time difference between two faraway points still require us to listen closely to the other side of the receiver, and even create the illusion of being connected to a distant past. Because of these limitations, the telephone, which lets us hear a “more distant voice,” is a realistic and critical motif precisely in today’s world, where the sense of isolation is so strong.

A music video for a song from NTT DOCOMO’s official IP, “Tacitly.” The intertwined emotions of the two are depicted through contemporary dance and stage sets that change in sync. The dancers from CRE8BOY, who served as motion actors, were filmed in an actual separate studio. Based on that offline footage, the angles were tracked and the camera work and shot composition were recreated in Unity through a specialized process, resulting in a world that feels both digital and human for the characters.

I was in charge of directing and producing the music video for Tenkago Rinon - Mememe no Me.
