"Haru no Ashioto" Opening Movie「はるのあしおと」オープニングムービー(2004年) (WMV preview)

"Haru no Ashioto" Opening Movie (2004) I was in charge of the opening movie for the interactive novel "Haru no Ashioto" released by minori in July 2004. The storyboard is a movie that was drawn in 2003 and finished in parallel with the production of "The Place Promised in the Clouds" around the spring of 2004. It is an introduction of simple making. About the opening of "Haru no Ashioto": Following "BITTERSWEET FOOLS" and "Wind", I was in charge of producing the opening movie of minori 's hit "Haru no Ashioto" (released in July 2004). At the same time as seeking quality and impact as an image, the concept of production was a production that was closely linked to the main game. The production time overlapped with "Beyond the clouds, the promised place", and I was able to work while thinking of "Haru no Ashioto" as a test case of "Beyond the clouds" in terms of workflow and shooting methods. Compared to the original feature-length anime that I wrote myself, the opening of the minori work is short and has a high degree of freedom, so it is a good exercise for me personally. On the contrary, the know-how of the original work can be diverted to the minori work, and the opening production of the game is a good accent for the work. Please see the minori website for details on the game . This is the same version as the MPG, only in WMV format. You can check more information at the blog entry here:
