Junkan: Art Direction

cj — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:38:24 +0000

Art direction, titles and motion graphics for a two-part web series entitled Junkan, a short version of Tokyo to Osaka made especially for GOOD Magazine.

From GOOD Magazine:

In the summer of 2009, 13 cyclists from Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco took their fixies to the Land of the Rising Sun for an ambitious undertaking: A 350-mile tour from Tokyo to Osaka. Their goal (along with survival) was to experience a more intimate kind of travel and make a documentary of their adventure.

Their forthcoming film, Tokyo to Osaka, will chronicle their seven-day journey, including the mechanical problems and injuries that tripped them up and the unexpected roadside barbeques and new friendships that made a cycling trip such a rewarding way to travel.
