We recently released "The Echo of Astro Boy's Footsteps" a documentary about OHNO Matsuo , the legendary sound creator of the classic anime series "Astro Boy", and "Ringing in Their Ears" , a story about an eccentric rock band Shinsei Kamattechan , directed by IRIE Yu. We have also produced "PANDORA'S BOX": a feature based on the classic novel by famed author DAZAI Osamu , and directed by TOMINAGA Masanori.
By producing visual effects and CGI for Cinegriot, our generalists and other staff have gained a wealth of experience that lets them cover everything from production to supervision with a focus on quality and speed for film, television commercials and beyond using cutting edge Japanese techniques.
Our recent works have included Ring of Gundam, a CG animation short directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino and released only at a 30th anniversary event for Mobile Suit Gundam, the creation of the Nissan web movie PLUG, The NeW WORLD, and production of special effects for Ultraman Zero: The Movie.
In addition, we produced animated work for Murakami Versailles, Takashi Murakami's personal art exhibition at the Palace of Versailles in France, and a full spectrum of CGI and visual effects work from television commercials to product shots, matte painting and anything else a director might need.
Griot Groove (Cinegriot, Linda, Animaroid) conduct business not only for the planning and production of a variety of genres of movies but also for the creation of high quality CG imagery of motion pictures, games, commercials, and other media.
