Cutters Studios Tokyo Presents The King of Fighters "Absurd Reality"!
We are honoured for the opportunity to work together with Goodzilla Shanghai, a top creative agency with a reputation for creating tremendously successful campaigns.
As a team, we worked closely together start to finish, from production Dictionary Films (a production arm of Cutters Studios Tokyo) to post production Cutters Studios Tokyo. This spot marks the first in the hopefully many more collaborations we will have in the future with China.
We worked with our amazing director Show Yanagisawa, DOP Ryoken Okamura, Editor Ryan McGuire, Sound Design by Another Country and finish by Dr. Yu for this killer film.
The team in collaboration with the world renowned director precisely captured the raw emotions of resignation, frustration, and despair to show how important it is to have a will to fight.
It was a great experience as the Cutters family’s first foray into the China market. Our producer, Elisha, has this to say about her experience being the point of connection between Shanghai and Tokyo:
“Once I received the brief from ECD Jiang Pan, I immediately knew that it would be a great film. I was honored to have been given a chance to work on this project and with director Show! The most important part of it all was this amazing team. Thanks Show, Ryan, the post team, Toboggan as well as client and creative team, who were willing to FIGHT for something different! I hope everyone will enjoy this film! ” -Elisha Lai (Executive Producer at Dictionary Films Shanghai/Cutters Studios Tokyo)
