BURNS SKOOL, the story of boys striving to become top dancers. By layering colorful character designs over impactful bold-type animation and imagery inspired by the destruction of a city, the film portrays their anguish and inner conflict, as well as the liberation that lies beyond them.

Deep in the forest, a tiny creature gently plays music――. Each time that sound echoes through the woods, seeds sprout, plants are born, and the world comes alive with color. This work is a magical, heartwarming animation centered on the connection between music and life. It portrays the power of sound and the miracle of life born from harmony with nature. The film was created using Blender and expressed through a charming low-poly visual style. By adopting a simple yet warm design, we aimed to create an atmosphere that gently envelops viewers in the world of the story. We also paid close attention to the subtle direction of light and movement, carefully depicting the forest awakening each time the music resonates. The music is an original composition written by cokiyu, a musician known for creating many fantastical pieces and for contributing music to the film Kokuhaku, starring Takako Matsu. The delicate, dreamlike melodies breathe life into the visuals and add deeper color to the story. Please enjoy this gentle tale of magic, where a small sound can change the world.

In conjunction with the launch of Kurashiki Kako Co., Ltd.’s new corporate brand, “KURATECA,” we were responsible for the direction, design, and editing of the brand concept film. Kurashiki Kako provides products that support comfortable and safe living, leveraging its vibration and anti-vibration technologies used across a wide range of fields. By visualizing this invisible vibration control technology through live-action footage and animation, we created a film that conveys the company’s solid, life-integrated technology and helps support its outreach to the world.
