ASSASSIN vs SERIAL KILLER
What started out as a simple random scene quickly evolved into an idea for a story that I rapidly became very eager to tell.
I went forward to write a script, design the environment maps and the characters to then later be animated, composited all of the scenes, to create this short animated film that you see here before you.
I decided to have the entire film done in Japanese to further challenge myself.
Creating this film was a massive learning curve, and I'm very proud of the result.

The Assassin
The Target | Miyahira Masahiro
The Serial Killer | Oni’s Punishment
Environment: Futuristic Tokyo
Hologram Billboards
To add the feel of a “futuristic city”, I created two additional characters for hologram advertisements.
Both were rendered in iClone with an alpha channel, with additional noise comping in After Effects for added “hologramic” effect. To make it loop, I simply duplicated and reversed the clip.
A Professor & CEO of a successful Tech Company
Environment: Miyahira’s Apartment
Performer at a Japanese Strip Club
TV Segment
Still Frames
Left: I animated Miyahira giving a public speech at a park, and got my voice actor to give a reportage commentary over his speech as if it were a news highlight. News graphics compositioning I did myself.
Right: I took that same animation and used Red Giant for the hologram effect, to put into iClone for the scene.
News Reporter Voice Actor: Yurika Ohno - Watch this with sound!
