Kujira no Chouyaku

Time has come to a standstill.

A whale appears from a glassy ocean and spends half a day soaring gracefully across the skies.

What makes this works extraordinary is the artist's decision to use the transparency and visual bulk of 3D computer graphics only for the un-moving ocean and glaciers.

The people, whale, and ships are all hand-drawn, and with this contrast, he invites the viewer into a different world.

This is a poem written in animation, the creation of a true fantasy.

This project was a considerable under taking, and the results are marvelous.
