There were works that made we feel as if we were watching real fireworks, and were also works that made use of smoke, and the overall level of the works was high. We were really looking forward to future works.
[No.1]
Wonderful rhythmic expression. The camera work takes advantage of the fact that it is 3DCG, and it was worth watching. The text fireworks were spectacular.
[No.2]
We were fascinated. We were surprised that the work didn't have a CG feel to it.
[No.3]
This time's assignment music had a difficult time and pace, making it difficult to create the production. Under these conditions, we felt that this work made good use of the types of fireworks and put together a well-balanced story.
[No.4]
The colors and color change rhythm of the eruption system were good. We felt that the details were ingenious, such as the selection of star colors and the timing of blooming.
[No.5]
The contrast from the brocade tip to the flashing light blue is beautiful. The inside was also beautiful with the center layer and smoke visual effect.
[No.6]
It was a gorgeous firework shell with many layers of ingenuity from its rise to its exit.
[No.7]
When we heard the title, it gave a little chuckle, and felt more party people mood than we expected. It was very good. The naming sense is also great, combining the words 孔明 and 光明 (In Japanese, both sound the same, the former meaning Kongming and the latter meaning bright light).
[No.8]
From the beginning of the rain to the sound of raindrops hitting the ground, this was reminiscent of midsummer rain. Great.
[No.9]
The beautiful chrysanthemum with six-cores. It must have been a difficult adjustment to make the boundaries visible while maintaining realism. Great.
[No.10]
From the yellow and orange colors reminiscent of autumn to the silver flashing reminiscent of the first snowfall, it was the work that evoked the changing seasons.
[No.11]
From the scene where the frog approaches the pond to the ripples on the water's surface, it's a wonderfully detailed work. Great.
[No.12]
The ephemeral image of the beauty under the moon was well expressed without giving off the CG-like feel that is common in time-lag shell. Wonderful.
[No.13]
The expression of the ripening process, the texture of the fruit, the texture of the septum, and even the details, while also expressing expressing the texture and fresheness of the orange when viewed as a whole, is truly wonderful.
[No.14]
Excellent realism. We felt that simulation fireworks had come this far. The smoke and camera movement were used effectively to fully express the beauty of each star and chrysanthemum.
[No.15]
The first half has an image of walking through a green forest, and the second half has an image of dreams coming true, both of which have excellent production compositions. We felt that it would be even better if there was some speed fluctuation in the second half.
[No.16]
It was glad that the color scheme of the stars and tails and the camera work matched the music really well.
[No.17]
The combination of the green fallen leaves and the exquisite timing of the crackling sounds of the small shells matched perfectly with the music and was wonderful.
[No.18]
The bravery in battle is expressed from the front by interweaving red and blue colors, and the fireworks performance is wonderful.
[No.19]
The sense of unity with the music and the eruption style production that goes with it are wonderful. We felt that it matched the image of forget-me-nots very well and it's a memorable fireworks work.
[No.20]
We felt that the memories of our childhood days, the memories of moving our body as hard as we could under the blue sky, and the fireworks that started with Japanese fire and unfolded with time-lag shells expressed the scene very well.
