time landscape

A ballad that brings Soma Saito’s first chapter of activity to a close. While weaving in post-apocalyptic imagery as its theme, and incorporating his previous music videos into a comprehensive edit, it becomes an end-roll-like work in which one story reaches its final conclusion.

This is an original video work created inspired by Roniit’s song “Purify.” Using CG, I expressed the themes of “life that is born and then fades away” and “a world that is magnificent and beautiful, yet somehow tinged with fragility and irrationality.” A single star is born in a sterile space. The life that emerges from it encounters other forms of life, collides with them, undergoes chemical reactions, and eventually disappears— this entire process is depicted abstractly from the perspective of an unemotional third party. While centering on my strengths in 3DCG and VFX, I also experimentally incorporated AI technology at certain points, blending them together in a subtle way. I made this video with pure feelings as a fan of Roniit, and I was truly delighted to receive a message from Roniit through social media, and even more so to have it shared by them. It has become a very precious work to me.
