HANABIRIUM (2019)

A 360-degree all-around visual experience.
This video allows viewers to look at fireworks, a Japanese summer tradition, across the seasons as if they were gazing up at the stars.
This video is the first full-dome educational video work in the fireworks industry, showing the history and technology of fireworks accumulated over 400 years since the Edo period.
With HIBANA as the main character, this video unravels the story of fireworks through live-action footage and CG animation.
It is a cutting-edge production designed as a full-dome surround video featuring typical Japanese fireworks and 5,000 fireworks launched from all directions in 360 degrees.
Capturing the viewpoint from "directly below" the fireworks, which only pyrotechnicians can enter for safety reasons, enables a new visual experience.

This work was entered in Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions 2022.
