His work on each project has involved creating character designs, concepts, color designs, art direction, and more.
According to SME, Koyama will present a range of work from his critically acclaimed animated projects and expound on the creative processes at their genesis, though to him this is, “Not an ‘exhibition’ but an ‘experiment.'” They also state the following:
The exhibition begins with an emphasis on Mr. Koyama’s distinctive multidisciplinary roles to provide a deeper understanding of animated works as “mass-produced products born from collaborative efforts,” underscoring the unique humanity involved in its creation. Mr. Koyama explains, “I would like to showcase various facets of the role of a ‘designer’ in animation. I hope to convey the more intriguing aspects of ‘animation production’ and ‘design’ in a comprehensible manner.”
Sonic Music Entertainment has set up a Twitter page dedicated to the project. Lastly, the first SHIGETO KOYAMA CCMS experiment OBAKE exhibit will begin on November 9 and last until November 22.
