"motion sensitive animation: beta" exhibition
I remember the scene from Miyazaki's "my neighbor Totoro" where characters grew plants as they swung their arms. That scene is what actually inspired me for this project.
From the time I realized that I could use my video camera to detect motion, I decided to make the Miyazaki's world come "true".
This is series of my hand generated animation that reacts to the movmement of the user in front of the screen (camera). [sample text]

"portfolio 2006" uploaded
The second version of my flash portfolio is now up on yuichirotanabe.com.
This version is basically all animated in flash.
Concept is "a tour through my world" with a character that guide you along the way.
I like to tell stories through my drawings and animations. I am always seeking for a unique method of telling stories by using so called "new media."
I am hoping to incorporate more animation into my flash works to make my stories as live and active as possible. [sample text]
