Project #4: Video Reenactment "Inochi-kun"






Artist Statement:

Today kids, I have been kicked in the balls by Murphey's Law.  I have been kicked hard and extremely painfully.  I was looking over my videos and realized that I did not save the files properly.  So a great word of advice:  Save frequently and layers are your best friend.

Besides that tragic moment that I had I was able to scrap up another hand drawn sequence.  The video that I used is "Inochi" (2004) by Takashi Murakami.  Inochi is a little, robot boy attending a school in Japan.  In this clip, he's discovering some of his bodily functions and towards the end of the video they say "You are alive!"  Which I assumed he's either an android or some type of alien.

For this video I wanted to make it really cute and child-like.  I wanted to emphasize the innocence in the style of the animation and its simplicity.  Every time I watch this video, I can't help but to giggle at how cute it really is.
