Production I.G pick up London award for stylish short

Production I.G. picked up an award in the “cel animation” category at the recent “London International Advertising Awards” for Kazuto Nakazawa’s animated advert “Asience: Hairy Tale (stream)” (animated for “Asience” shampoo).

Nakazawa’s worked on a number of high-profile projects over the years, most notably the animated sequence in Kill Bill, but also character design and chief animation for Samurai Champloo. “Asience: Hairy Tale” echoes his previous short;  the hyper-stylized gothic horror “Comedy” (the story of which is set in Ireland).
