TAIYO KIKAKU's 49th Anniversary Short Movie

TAIYO KIKAKU Co., Ltd., a commercial production company based in Tokyo, Japan, was founded on February 5th, 1968, and proudly celebrates its 49th anniversary with the release of a paper craft stop-motion animation short to celebrate this milestone. The sun-shaped corporate logo symbolizing the company’s name is beautifully animated in a white setting, depicting the whole process of filmmaking from pre-production to post-production. The film is crafted entirely out of paper by director Ayako Hiroki, a
member of “TECARAT,” a division of TAIYO KIKAKU. The detailed craftsmanship of this piece is worth watching.
