The other day, I’ve talked about a making of “QURU QURU LOVE” and its simplified workflow at MAXON 25th anniversary seminar in Akihabara, Tokyo.
Accordingly, I made this showreel for my introduction at the seminar:) I hope you enjoy.

The videos are combined with commercial and private works. As you can see I’ve been engaged in several type of project like live-action, motion graphics, CG, etc.. and also Prints/Display Graphic Design, Ustream Broadcasting. I love this flexibility and that’s why I’m working as a freelancer.
In fact, all people I met, projects & events I involved, had been motivating me every time.

A title animation CG of the BS Cinema which is a movie show program on NHK BS.
The whole scene and its smooth transforming were created with Cinema 4D’s MoGraph feature. It’s very useful for placing a number of objects (whether orderly or not).
Addition in this case, when I had to add seats and lightings of the theatre, I can made do it easily.

This is why I love MoGraph.

Software: Cinema 4D, After Effects, CS5
Project period: 1week

Brand new NHK BS (Japan’s national public satellite broadcasting) animation identities.

I’ve recently created a new video clips for an animations and motion graphics screening event called “FRENZ 2010“.

Event organizer: as@Chisei (Chisei Maeda)
Event sponsors: Adobe Systems Incorporated, Gaudere Corporation

Video: llcheesell (Tatsuro Ogata) at Vilvo Designworks vilvo.net
Music: dBu (Dobuusagi) dobuusagi.com

The video was simply made with participants names and artificial materials shot by Canon EOS 7D & iPhone 4 (with the wide conversion lens)

Due to my complicated schedule, I had to create this in 2 days! And I made it.

Originally, I’m slightly envious of AENY(User meeting in New York) but there’s not the such users-led meeting in Japan. So I want to make user meeting like that.
