“M_IND,” a new kind of music program that shines a spotlight on “independent artists” who pursue their artistic activities independently, without belonging to a major agency or label.

I was responsible for the following tasks: ・Illustration / logo design: all ・Animation / motion design For this project, the request was to differentiate it from other works by expressing Halloween without using orange or purple. By using a lot of black, I expressed a Halloween world, and by using primary colors, I aimed for cute illustrations that felt like a children’s program. I also paid close attention to the detailed motifs, such as plants, totem poles, and garlands, so that it would be enjoyable to look at. Drawing on my experience in dance and theater during my student years, I’m good at creating character animation that makes children want to imitate it, so for the dance part I incorporated choreography that is easy to copy and memorable, and overall I aimed for a cute animation that leaves viewers feeling warm and happy. #motiongraphics #motiondesign #design #edit #illustration #2d #3dcg #flatdesign #flat #animation #artwork #motionlogo #movinglogo #onair #image #musicvideo #MV #モーショングラフィックス #アニメーション #モーションデザイン #モーション #編集 #イラスト #フラットデザイン #平面 #アート #アニメ #モーションロゴ #サウンドロゴ #オンエア #ミュージックビデオ #映像 #ムービー #1930 #イチキューサンゼロ #ウムネス#umnes
