TOKYODV Video Log

I was so impressed with a KOMADORI Bros. video clip on NHKs Digital Stadium, I just had to track them down.

At the time, they were International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences. We exchanged emails, drank beers, and shared DV stories. I asked if I could present their work to an international audience on TOKYODV. They were excited about the exposure, and I was honored to show their art.

From NHKs website, when this video debuted – “Ohashi and Okamoto graduated from the International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences…

(In this video) the gym outfit of Mr. Okamoto who desperately tries harder will make you excited. This is an absurd home video of this passionate guy. Sit back and enjoy the show.”

NHK had a program called Digital Stadium where amateur multimedia artists submit their work to be shown nationally. I was really impressed with the KOMADORI Bros.; they were both internationally understandable and culturally insightful. Bizzare little stories with a touch of humor.

Komadori has two meanings; a type of bird and stop-action. The Bros. use stop-action animation in most of their videos, especially this one..
