STUDiO 4℃-studio exploration-



Hello, everybody :-)
Today, I want to introduce you "STUDiO 4℃" .
You pronunce them "sutajio yon doshi-".

They are Japanese leading animation studio led by producer Eiko Tanaka who worked as a line for Hayao Miyazaki.

Studio 4℃ has created a wide port-folio of visual works including progressive music clips for artist such as very popular singer in Japan "Hikaru Utada".
They also collaborated with "nike" for their TV commercial in 2004.

Studio 4℃ was an early adopter of digital technology, and is now a brand name with global recognition for progressive hybrid visuals and funky cross-over creations.

Their latest movies such as "Tekkonkinkreet" and "Detroit Metal City" swept over the Japanese movie scene with their out standing talents and concepts.
Once you get into their web site, you will find it is so much fun to surf around.

The web site has different looks depends on the time you open it, either day or night time. The top page generates some lights grow at night.



I would say the most interesting part of this web site is their internet entertainment site "Beyond City".
This was created by one of the member of STUDiO 4℃.
We can explore an imaginary underground city by just clicking the mouse.
However, you have to figure out a lot of tricks.
The site entertains us and stimulates our imagination which exactlly what they are doing for their art works.


Just play around their web site, you will find so much fun!
Don't worry, they have an English site too (o^_^o)


Here is some of their works: check them out!
