Don't really like the animation style, but I love the concept - spreading colour, with each character representing one of the primary colours. The overhead view of rippling pools of colour was amazing.

Kind of remind me of Animatrix series

You beat me to it. It definitely seemed like it was an episode out of Animatrix. As NIKE commercial goes, it's pretty tame. I still like this one the best (though it isn't animated): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4YQfsWP2sA (no rick roll)
(ID #447472) Posted on 2009/01/14 13:50
He was actually the director of the short "Beyond" in the Animatrix.

You can find it here in higher resolution (just turn your speakers down). Click on "Into The City": http://nike.jp/nike_id/blazer/

That high res with spreading the colours idea was awesome!

Agreed! Speaking of which Danny, have you considered embedding the high-res version instead? I know that you'd wanna consider the low-bandwidth users, but connections are getting faster these days rite (though Malaysia's ISP is still an ***). Also, low-res doesn't do justice to the great Morimoto Koji! In case u didn't know, here's the link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10104549-2.html. That is for HD versions. For just high-quality version (like the video above), change fmt%3D22 to fmt%3D18 in 2 parts of the code. Hope that helped!

Top-notch animation, love the colors, overall a cool advert just to look at.
(ID #447482) Posted on 2009/01/14 14:07
Wooow.. that was too good for words.. :'O

Excellent! ^_^
(ID #447523) Posted on 2009/01/14 14:59
That looks really cool, something you can actually make an anime for. And that's a impressive list, but I still don't know what it is a producer does.
(ID #447527) Posted on 2009/01/14 15:03
yeah!! koji morimoto!! he's awesome
(ID #447536) Posted on 2009/01/14 15:11
Some of his projects kind of scare me in a way. o.o The Studio 4 degrees Celsius kind of reminds me of a short series they played on Cartoon Network once here in the states. I dont really remember it.. But there were kids in some big abandoned city.. And the animation was rather strange.. If anyway has -any- idea what Im talking about, you should let me know.. Id like to watch it again. >_>
(ID #447539) Posted on 2009/01/14 15:15
abandon? Hmm... could you be referring to Tekkonkinkreet/ tekkonkinkurito ? THere are 2 male leads(boys) called Kuro and Shiro. Is it the animation?

The Tekkonkinkreet movie is kinda recent... I'm guessing it's Noiseman Sound Insect. Unfortunately, YouTube only has the spanish subbed version... but here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVcBFocIVJY

Studio 4C is just awesome... made a series of posts on my blog with their animations: http://xspblog.com/?s=studio+4c+punch http://xspblog.com/?s=studio+4c+digital+juice They are also making the new Street Fighter animation... I love their random crazy style.

Sugoi.... I wonder what the odds of this advert being shown in england are..... wish we got more like this.
(ID #447665) Posted on 2009/01/14 17:58
I don't really like the character design for this but I do like the concept behind it. Spreading colors through out the black and white city.
(ID #447675) Posted on 2009/01/14 18:07
Studio 4C are full of Awesomesauce per usual
(ID #447710) Posted on 2009/01/14 18:54
awesome stuff the initial scenes kinda reminds me of bleach for some reason, must be the standing in mid-air phenomenon...^^

Awesome animation, awesome music, awesome characters, just plain awesome. Yea timid compared to his other works, but still a lovely treat for the eyes! Did you see the subtle Studio 4°C advertising there? Oh Morimoto sensei, aren't you a cheeky one!
(ID #448150) Posted on 2009/01/15 03:46
Wow. They need to bring some of that stuff here; although I don't really like the look of the characters.
(ID #448182) Posted on 2009/01/15 04:29
Ohh, yea I saw the subtle ad for Studio 4C.
