This animation was created for the advertisement and exhibition of “Animal Exhibition” (Special cooperation: National Museum of Nature and Science), held at PLAY! MUSEUM. Featuring taxidermy specimens from the WHO ARE WE exhibition kit for this exhibition (Yoshimoto Collection), it is composed to bring the specimens to life as they make their way to the urban exhibition venue during the night. While continuing to produce animation in PS as before, I increased the proportion of background work done with AE keyframes, taking on the challenge of moving the main characters clearly while also coordinating the background with them. This time, thanks to meeting a collaborator who could handle a certain amount of the animation work, I was able to make time for shooting, and have begun experimenting with incorporating light and shadow in an illustration-like way. In the illustration, I am challenging myself to use color to express the changing time of day.

“Earth as Seen from Space: A Culture” Inspired by music, this project visualizes the creative process of a Japanese dancer choreographing and a chef creating cuisine. This time, the theme is Daft Punk’s “Within.” Using CG, live action, and compositing, I created a video in which reality and unreality coexist. This is my first independently produced work. I used Polycam, Nomad Sculpt, Blender, Substance 3D Painter, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Firefly. The 3D models that appear were all modeled from scratch without using any assets. The slot symbols at the beginning of the work were generated using Adobe Firefly. Throughout the CG and live-action scenes, the footage was basically shot with a 50mm focal length. The props appearing in the work are compiled on the page below. Each product features a primitive silhouette, and I aimed to make them feel realistic. https://www.behance.net/gallery/184868293/HATCH-PROPS
