◉Synopsis An old man sits alone on a barren wasteland, enveloped in silence. When he draws a tree on the ground with a worn pencil, the line sprouts to life, blooming into flowers and grass, spreading vividly with new life. Before long, trees and flowers imbued with the breath of life gently surround the old man, and the world quietly regains its radiance. Amid that scene, the old man feels at peace and offers a gentle smile. ◉Artist Statement An old man sits in a wasteland, and each time he draws a line with a pencil, life emerges and a forest spreads forth—. This story presents the idea that “creation continues into the future” as a fable. By blending the warm texture of clay with AI-driven transformative expression, I hope that in the instant the line pierces the sky, branches and leaves of the future will also spread within the viewer’s heart. As a visual experience that transcends words, I want to convey a sense of renewal and hope.

AIgejkijo 2025 AI FILM FESTIVAL This work was screened at the Akihabara UDX Theater. Synopsis | The protagonist, who lived in a black-and-white world, suddenly encounters a colorful, mysterious creature one day. The moment they touch hands, the world before the protagonist changes all at once. Even if you keep repeating the same life, you never know what tomorrow will bring. This is the story’s underlying theme.

All visual materials, including images and video, were created using AI. This work is a tribute to the clay animation I love. Three mysterious characters lead a cheerful daily life. I also composed the music and background score.

This is a clay animation based on the theme of “My Youth · note.” My youth is packed into a notebook. A notebook is for studying, a sketchbook, a place to keep ideas, and something filled with memories of youth with friends, so I created this piece in the style of a notebook commercial. All of the image and video materials were created with AI, while the text, editing, and composition were done by people. Rather than leaving everything to AI, I see it as just one source of material, one means of expression. A new world of animation. I hope this video stays in your heart.
