Video Production Information

kaeru

Several seconds of animation from only three drawings. The child of the moon smiles in the night. What's with that? I could have filled a whole book with this material if I'd had the opportunity. However, there simply wasn't the time, and lots of people participated on this project in various ways (some people had the idea of doing another VJ ARMY with this song). It ended up being like turning the tuner dial of a radio round and round, and we figured that we'd stumble into something good this way. Firefly took up the part of scolding us into doing something useful. I was kind of apprehensive about what would happen to the fairy-tale like nature of my original work, but it ended up looking really cool, the way I intended it to. It ended up as a pretty nice little movie. Thanks! You never know what's gonna happen when you try making stuff this way. it's really neat.

F-FLY

This was pretty rough! I had the difficult task of filling in the gaps between the images kaeru-san drew! All this without changing the feeling of kaeru-san's images and world view ... Without ... without ... I put lots of work into that, but ... !? My deepest apologies to all of kaeru-san's fans!
