A World with Borders
This animation was inspired by the traditional Japanese theater art noh and classic Japanese folktale "Kachi-Kachi Yama." From the story to the character expressions, the duo thought through everything in detail.
MEGAHORN "The Moon's Light"
This music video tells the story of siblings walking home using the moonlight to guide them. The dolls were made with wall-finisher, a material with a unique texture that is put on walls in traditional Japanese rooms. Blue lights were used to simulate the uneasiness of the children walking at night.
Things Everywhere
This stop-motion animation gives life to everyday items, from an iron to cups, socks and more. The characters in the animation were all designed and made from everyday household items.
