Notes: [Overview]
Over the past 60 years, Japanese urban developer, Mori Building has always been viewing the bigger picture when creating the city of Tokyo. We made a brand film to present Mori Building’s philosophy: “Create a city, not a building”. The film reflects back on the evolution of Tokyo and tells the story of its future through vivid portrayals of Tokyo’s cityscape which the Mori Building built and flourished, the past towns’ culture, and iconic celebrities of past eras exactly as they were back then. The cityscape has been accurately recreated based on various data of newspapers, maps, blueprints, video footages, relevant literatures, and mannequins of that time.

[Cultural Context]
Every building that the Mori Building has developed was always in the front line.
Throughout the video, the cities featured as iconic examples represent the themes below. People all over Japan admired the work which became a popular topic of conversation.
1956. Nishi Shimbashi 2 Mori Building – Mori Building’s origin
1978. Laforet HARAJUKU – The source of new trends and transmitting base
*Paris Collection model: Sayoko Yamaguchi (28 years old then) made an appearance

2014. Toranomon Hills – International Level Business Center

[Craft]
We back-calculated and used motion control cameras and cranes to film scenes in a single flow and to convey a floating sensation. We've applied a slit-scan and other VFX on the last person to carry out a smooth transitioning. We also used glitch effects to portray an old dreamlike city. The glitch effects on the people were created through 3D scanning and touched up with 3D computer graphics.
