Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

A girl put on lipstick.

In response to that, a diverse group of people, regardless of gender age, or background, also put on lipstick and express themselves freely while singing. Blending and flowing together, connected by the message of ”BE FLUID. FEEL HOPE.”

Background:

In Japan, there remains a strong belief that make up is exclusively for woman unlike some other countries, therefore the business of cosmetics has become an industry that can be described as systematically discriminatory. KANEBO as a Japanese-origin global cosmetic brand, our purpose is to open the concept of beauty to all of humanity, leveraging life intelligence technology as our foundation.

Starting from the premise that “Make up resembles art for humanity”, the anthem movie for a project that deconstructs makeup and questions the future and humanity itself.

The new paradigm of diversity, where individuals express themselves through makeup, transcending gender, age, and other attributes. This “Fluid” concept was consolidated and visualized in collaboration with 100 performers singing while putting make up on.

Please provide any cultural context that would help the jury understand any cultural, national or regional nuances applicable to this work e.g. local legislation, cultural norms, a national holiday or religious festival that may have a particular meaning.

In Japan, there remains a strong belief that makeup is exclusively for woman,

and wearing it is seen as a social norm and a matter of etiquette, unlike some other countries.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the edit. Do not name the editor.

In the production process, we verified angles and rotation speeds through editing based on pre-test shots. After the verification, we’ve added dynamic action for each character.

We combined complex footage of 100 talents with the movements of them in wide, middle, and close-up angle shots. In post, create a sequence where cuts change every 1frame, 2frames and 3 frames based on the footage. Editing and refining the composition repeatedly while synchronizing it with the music.
