Japanese-English Pictionary

Synopsis

A short film directed by Koji Yamamura. In both English and Japanese, words progress from "A" to "Z" (and from "A" to "Nn" in the Japanese syllabary) by taking the last syllable of the previous word. For example: Ant–Take off–F…, Ari–Ririku–Ku…. As the words advance, images metamorphose through a variety of animation techniques, forming a pictorial encyclopedia of animation methods.
