Post Tokyo Creatives - UAMOU video project
Hey - in case anyone wants to support an amazing film project, I thought I would post this here.

Check out the preview on vimeo - amazing stuff.

Here is the Press kit from the Director Niko Lanzuisi:

Greetings,

I would like to introduce to you the work of Takagi Ayako, one of
Japan's leading toy designers.

UAMOU the cute visitor from another planet has found its place in many
homes of toy aficionado's around the world. Ayako Takagi's boutique is
not just a toy design studio, but a dream grown from a love of
creating into a family business, well integrated into the Taito
neighborhood.

My name is Niko Lanzuisi and I am a Tokyo Visual Arts film graduate.
Last year I have worked on a series of documentaries about Japanese creatives.
For those who want a more in depth look at modern Japanese sub-culture.

I have shot over 5 hours of footage, giving an unprecedented
look into the studio and life of one of the world's leading vinyl toy
designers. However the work needs editing, sound mixing, colour
correction and english translation to become a roughly 20 minute
documentary.

In order to release this material in the best form it could be, I have
started a humble indiegogo campaign asking for support for post
production.

Indie gogo campaign: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tokyo-x-creatives-uamou
Campaign video: http://vimeo.com/58907101
Trailer: http://vimeo.com/36157427

I would greatly appreciate it if you would share this news with your
readers. If the campaign turns out to be successful it would allow me
to release this documentary with enthusiasts around the world.

Thank you for your time,

Niko Lanzuisi

Yeah, I like the production on this. Nicely Shot. I hope this gets supported! It'll be the best we can get to a Toy Punks Vol. 2 for now!
