After being betrayed by his peers and lost both his father and his right arm, legendary craftsman "Jingoro Hidari" is on a journey of revenge with his partner "Sleeping Cat" and his mechanical prosthetic arm. Finally, Jingoro faces one of his adversaries "Inumaru" in a fight to the death...
This is a pilot version of the stop-motion samurai film that tells the story of "Jingoro Hidari," a legendary Edo-era craftsman. All the characters are made by wood and animated frame by frame, just like how Jingoro's wooden sculptures came to life in his many anecdotes. We hope you enjoy this film, which mixes dynamic actions as seen in Japanimation, and the rich analog expressions of stop-motion animation.
Our intention is to use this pilot film as a starting point to create a full length feature film. We have started activities to raise the necessary partners and funding to achieve this goal.

Hi everyone on KZfaq! Thank you for all the positive vibes and encouraging comments here❤The whole HIDARI team is feeling massive love from the global community, and it helps us big time, to keep pushing forward to making more of Jingoro’s stories come to life. I have a much longer story to tell about him, and yes, it involves his origin, more villains, more mecha, and more secret prosthetic weaponry :) Pls share the vid to your friends, as we continue to search for production partners & investors to make this into a full length film or series. Huge ARIGATO! Masa (Director & Voice actor of the doggo)

It’s Incredible! The art alone of every piece is beautiful and detailed, then the story was action packed.. the freaking movement is flawless and the whole choreography is Interesting!! Your whole team deserves an award. The tool box and the cat.. he’ll Everything about this was interesting to look at even if they didn’t move.. and Damn they move so well!!

My favorite thing about this is how no one's pretending that these aren't people made of wood. All the protagonists weapons are wood working tools or wooden mechanisms. Sawdust instead of blood. Even everything has a nice wooden clunk sound when it moves. It totally embraces the art form and breaks the 4th wall while giving me the feeling that this is just part of the lore of this world. The fight choreography is interesting and stylish. One of the coolest and most clever things I've seen in a while. Definitely would watch more of this.

@@STEFRICH60500P Well, Hidari Jingoro is a very interesting historical figure because although having a number of real world works that experts have attributed to him, most of his history is a mixture of various legends, such as him missing an arm. Stories vary from losing it to rivals, fire, a displeased mentor, yokai, and so on. It's likely he lost it to a work related accident and legends grew out from it. Unfortunately I can't read enough Japanese to read more material about him. But if anyone else knows more about him I'd love to learn too!

this is the most creative concept ive seen in years

@ryku2603 Жыл бұрын

The detail used in this animation. The fluidity. The smallest details. This must’ve taken an ubsurd amount of time to have created or even just start to plant. The craftsmanship is very respectable. The dolls used has so many thought out pivots I can only imagine the thought that went into writing this masterpiece. I can only enjoy this from the perspective of a person who doesn’t know much about the processes needed. So I hope that you are proud of what you’ve given to us because you should know it. I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen and appreciated. Those who made this, you are wonderful. Thank you.

In cases like this sometimes I think the less you know about how it was made the more fascinated you ca be by it. IDK, I could be wrong, it's very important to appreciate all the hard work that went into something for you to enjoy it for such a short time

THIS. This. is the most satisfying stop-motion animation I've ever seen in my life. The frame rate is low, but it fits great with the wooden theme and the slightly-clunky animation that resembles wood movement. Heck, there's even separate motion blur model for the epic looking chainsaw. The fight choreography is GREAT, and I really like how the background is changed to black during the fight scenes, which gives more focus to the epic fight scene.

What fun! What slick humor! The cat is legend! More please! Storyline, character development, little inside jokes, all packed into 4 1/2 minutes. Outstanding! *Hollywood really does need to step up its game, that's for sure. They can't touch this.

9 is stop motion?

@jvr-01justvideosrandom Жыл бұрын

@@Daniel-mr4gt It was originally. The first trailers was made from the 3 minute pilot that was completely stop motion, that footage isn't public anymore though. There was a 10 minute extended short film that's part stop motion and 2d animation mimicking 3d CGI animation that was the first final film. That became the pitch for the feature film. It's included in the DVDs as a special feature, I believe.. Tim Burton stepped in to become the producer of the film after the decision to make the feature film in all CGI happened.
