Since his exciting debut on the
animation scene in 2003 with his dynamic hand-drawn abstract animation Fantastic Cell, Mirai Mizue’s have become increasingly ambitious in scope. Like his predecessors Norman McLaren and Oskar
Fischinger, Mizue’s work explores the relationship between music and
movement.
Mizue began his Wonder 365 Animation Project a year ago, producing 24 drawings a
day for a total of 8,760 drawings. He normally
works independently, but the scope of this project led to him hiring 160
painters to assist him to complete the work by the end of March of this
year. Now Mizue needs help to cover the
costs of recording an original soundtrack by the acoustic orchestral group the Pascals
led by Rocket Matsu, the editing costs, the costs of cutting a 35mm print
and creating a DCP, and other incidental costs.
There are five days left in Mizue’s Kickstarter
project, please donate now and spread the word via Facebook and other
social media. Check out his videos on Vimeo and YouTube to get
an idea of Mirai Mizue’s unique talent as an artist.
