TAKCOM & NOSAJ THING : ECLIPSE/ BLUE

Takcom continues to push the envelope when it comes to motion work, sometimes I wonder, what kind of cereal does Takcom eat in the morning to be so good…

With support from The Creators Project, and collaborating with Perfume choreographer MIKIKO, Director Daito Manabe and Visual Artist Takcom created a dynamic virtual environment to serve as the backdrop for two dancers whose movements across the stage are amplified by the graphics behind them, making each action feel larger and more emotive.

VEGPHER-HUNTER BY TAKCOM™

Sometimes we wonder if our team artist from Japan, Takcom, ever sleeps. The vast amount of quality work coming from him is incredible. Check the following sound-reactive piece he completed for music artist Vegpher.

TAKCOM™ | SONY XB

Japanese motion artist Takcom™ does it again, with an impressive piece for
Sony XB,
directed by Kenji Nakashima.

The 30sec spot, features Japanese B-Boy TAISUKE doing a series of moves to a heavy bass track on his headphones, which act as a channel to translate colorful sound frequencies interpretations of the track, emanating from his body, for the ultimate sound-induced rush. The style/ art direction of the piece is really well constructed, and I can watch it over and over because its so amazing.

LEVEL 1 – PROMO SPOT

Super excited to be able to finally upload the very first Dataset Promotional Spot, mainly because this was a collaborative effort from some of the talented members of the Dataset Team.

Directed by Japanese motion artist Takafumi Tsuchiya musicalized by Colorado based Ben Samples with audio mastering by EshOne,
Level 1, takes us through a futuristic landscape as we experience textures and polygons reacting to audio frequencies leading to the transformation of the Dataset logo, as a symbolic representation of what we try to bring to the scene, uniting the power of music and visual arts, to create a new and authentic voice made by artists, for artists.

V.L.C. DIRECTED BY TAKCOM

Sweet new work by Japanese Director/ Motion artist & VJ Takcom for Japan based music network Space Shower TV

The piece features what it looks like a scale model of a peaceful outdoor summer setting twisting up and down the screen, synched beautifully to the sounds of 三浦康嗣. Check the pre-post making of the piece on the video below, looks like some intense hours of work, but it sure paid off!
