“EYES” 01:00 and then “The making of EYES”
Also in 2004 he completed a short film commissioned by Panasonic called UNTITLED. Here is a direct link to download the short (38mb mpeg) download. Is it a person running or a moving machine? It was filmed using Panasonic’s DVX100A digital video camera with 35mm film lenses attached.
Tsujikawa won best music video of 2002 at RESFEST’s Audience Music Choice Awards for “Drop (Do it Again)” also featuring music by Cornelius. Completed in 2001, it’s a video that uses droplets and streams of water to reflect the music. The clip won out over Traktor and Michel Gondry. The international win help gain him attention as a Japanese award-winning artist.
