This work involved many new approaches in both music and visuals, but by communicating closely with Haruyoshi, we were able to create something satisfying. (?) To create the animation, we first needed reference material for the instruments, so we started by making 3D models in Blender. The drawings were done in monochrome, and in the final stage we applied a correction called a gradient map so that they would end up in two colors. The instruments while being played are animated by compositing in 3D models. The storyboard was a collaborative effort, and it was fun to come up with so many interesting directing ideas.

When I first heard this track titled “B1,” my impression was that it was heavy, underground, dark, and cool in a really stylish way, but I was especially drawn to the chorus and harmony parts woven into its intricate layers of sound. It gave me a sense of not being alone. And B1 also suggests a feeling of being underground. As I organized these elements, I began to think of a project that would depict the deeper emotions of the artist ID in an abstract space, with the surrounding area dimmed in black. While adding diagonal overhead angles and graphic elements that evoke the feeling of being watched by someone, I created a wide variety of shots. The emotional ups and downs were constructed by blending rough handheld work with fixed shots, crowded emotions were expressed through effects, and the cuts using red color throughout convey that, no matter the state or situation, we are human beings with blood running through our veins. Of course, because the situation itself was simple, my biggest focus was on how much the editing in post-production could bring the piece to life, and how to shoot it so that what I wanted to express could be captured. I was very particular about filming while calculating all of those factors.
