Brand film for the table tennis brand Butterfly. It beautifully intertwines live-action footage featuring rallies between 16-year-old prodigy Tomokazu Harimoto and German top player Timo Boll with CG, tightly synchronized to sharp sound design, depicting the brand’s worldview and the product’s powerful spin. This project began with the brief: “We want a video with an overseas feel that completely refreshes the image of table tennis, which is strongly associated with school club activities.” It was a collaboration with an amazing team, including director Takcom, who has worked with us since the days of W+K Tokyo Lab, the predecessor of JKD, and media artist Nobumichi Asai. Through many discussions with a passionate client and numerous staff members, this work was created with a focus on how to fuse the authenticity of the sport of table tennis with creativity.

Description: I was responsible for the following tasks. ・Art direction: illustration color schemes, font selection, layout, and planning to synchronize with the music ・Motion design This was a motion graphics project that showcased 11 iconic buildings in sequence, so I designed it to stay engaging and avoid becoming monotonous through to the end. In order to synchronize the visuals with the music, I planned the sequence so that the graphics and sound would match. I also paid close attention to the color palette of the illustrations, imagining each country’s flag and atmosphere, so that the character of each building would come across instantly and look appealing. #motiongraphics #motiondesign #design #edit #artdirection #layout #2d #ad #advertisement #flatdesign #flat #animation #artwork #brand #movie #image #pr #promotion #vp #web #animation #motiondesign #motion #editing #flatdesign #flat #advertising #art #anime #brand #video #movie #opening #title #promotion #web #1930 #ichikyuusanzero #IshiguroSho #ishiguro #shoh #ishiguroshoh
