Shibuya Vernacular
A four-dimensional short anime will start at the very beginning of Shibuya Crossing, that is, 10,000 years in the past. The anime is part of a collaborative project helmed by Yoshitoshi Shinomiya. It features a hybrid of animation and live-action. The short was screened on Shibuya's Crossing screens and a YouTube-friendly version was posted as well. The project also has a crowdfunding campaign to raise 1,800,000 yen (US$16,500) to hold a exhibition of the production materials in Shibuya in mid-August. (Source: Anime News Network)
