Celebrating one year of Tokyo Night and Light! Since its debut in February 2024, this remarkable project achieved a Guinness World Record for the "largest permanent architectural projection-mapped display," spanning an impressive 13,904.956 square meters. Surpassing all expectations, it has naturally evolved into a must-visit tourist attraction, drawing over 10,000 visitors daily and successfully revitalizing the local night economy. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Director @michi_yuki917 , the @colors_creation Agency, and the incredible team at the Projection Mapping Association of Japan @pmaoj At AVA Animation & Visual Arts Inc, we feel immensely proud and honored to be among the pioneering artists involved in bringing animated content to this visionary project. We rarely show behind-the-scenes work, but keep scrolling the photos for a peek at our creative process for "Tokyo Concerto", from storyboard to final projection, four months in production, over 50 original animated characters all painted by hand by our team, paired with an amazing soundtrack by award-winning composer Hideaki Takahashi. @tokyonightandlight @panasonic @panasonic_global @tokyotokyooldmeetsnew @guinnessworldrecords #Tokyonightandlight #Projectionmapping #GuinnessWorldRecord #Tokyo #Japan #MadeinCanada #MadeinOntario #nighteconomy #videomapping #TokyoTokyo #Panasonic

Toronto Remembers: Commemorative Projections started today at Old City Hall. We are honoured to collaborate with the @cityofto to create this visual display, marking two significant milestones: 80 years since the end of the Second World War and the 100th anniversary of the Toronto Cenotaph at Old City Hall. We dedicate this work in tribute to the 3,516 servicemen and servicewomen from Toronto who gave their lives in service to Canada during the Second World War. 2025 also marks 100 years since the Toronto Cenotaph was officially unveiled on November 11, 1925, as a memorial to honour the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to Canada during times of war and peacekeeping. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the City of Toronto Strategic Protocol & External Relations team and City Cultural Events team for their trust and guidance. This event is free and suitable for all ages. It runs from Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, to Tuesday, November 11th, 2025. From 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, every 30 minutes Venue & Address: West Facade, Old City Hall, 60 Queen St W, Toronto - Wheelchair accessible #projectionmapping #oldcityhall #toronto #lestweforget #remembranceweek #remembrance #rememberanceday #toronto #oldcityhall

Invitation Work 【Carnival】from @avainmotion !!! 【Description】The show is about to start! This is no ordinary zoo; it is a wonderland of magic and play. Hop aboard as animals unite for pure fun and games. Let yourself be swept into a world where laughter and joy dance through the air. Prepare to be amazed as you step into a circus where whimsical animals steal the spotlight! Marvel as elephants twirl with joy, flamingos waltz in dazzling pink, cats conjure up enchanting illusions, and sheep tumble through acrobatics while bunnies go hopping onto wild amusement rides.

Thank you, @napalightedartfestival , @napaparksandrec , and @cityofnapa , for inviting us to be part of the festival and for creating spaces to celebrate unity, colour, and diversity. We are so proud of this project. “Patterns” explores the concepts of unity, harmony, collaboration, and peace, reminding the viewer of the common threads that connect us all. Inspired by reimagined folk patterns, the artwork aims to create a space that celebrates Napa’s past and future, binding together shapes and patterns from its ancestry to illuminate the city..
