Music video by the dance and vocal group "BLACK IRIS"

Since there wasn’t much room in the shooting and editing conditions, I aimed for “Simple is best.” When I think of “Simple is best,” I think of the “dance cover” videos posted on Niconico and YouTube, so I used the so-called “dance cover” style as a motif and added various forms of expression to it, which resulted in this. As for the points I focused on, it was the lighting effects of the live switching.

Various patterns of life and death glimpsed in the moments before drifting off on an operating table. Did the surgery end safely? Is the patient alive now? This work is a stereoscopic experimental film inspired by the creator’s own experience of, upon waking from a dream, sensing that the left eye and the right eye were seeing different worlds. In addition to creating a sense of depth across layers, the hand-colored metamorphosis animation drawn on paper was transferred into digital form, after which rounded contours were added to match the shapes. We also studied how to achieve a visual balance in expressing the idea that the left eye and the right eye are seeing different worlds, and made careful adjustments repeatedly.

This is a story of those things that are lost. Those things that have been lost, are being lost, and will be lost. Those things that were lost long ago, were lost yesterday, are being lost tonight, and will be completely lost by tomorrow morning. Those things you have lost, those things I am losing. And yet, within this story, nothing comes to an end. This is a story of those things that are lost, and not a story about losing things.
