Commissionde by the advertising agency Nordpol+ Hamburg I designed the origami models and consulted the stopmotion aswell as the computer animators of this world wide corperate movie that tells the story of the japanese sports brand ASICS. The movie won a Grand Prix at the Eurobest, gold at the New York festival, gold at the London International Awards, silver at the Clio in Miami and two times bronze at ADC Germany.

    Stunning... !

    working with paper... one of the noblest materials...

    the touch, the feeling, the the patience, the shape making... the animation...


    Is it a special paper... ?

    How much time... ? for all the process.. ?

    How did you organize your time... ? (some rest ?)

    How much does your animation coast ?


    Arigatou gozaimasu...

    Gambatte yo !
