Nobody talks about this one. Fujita builds entire worlds through pure technique, rotoscope painting a planet being consumed, pixilation turning ice into something alive, each film a different language for the same quiet dread. You're not watching a narrative unfold. You're watching someone solve the problem of how to make you feel something using only their hands, a camera, and time.

Junpei Fujita presents three experimental animation shorts that showcase wildly different approaches to the medium. The special was screened at the Meguro Museum of Art in Tokyo and collects three short films Fujita made while he was still a student, each built with its own animation method. The Seasons runs about two minutes and uses conventional animation. Eaten Up Planet, roughly thirty minutes long, is made with rotary animation. Insane Ice lasts around forty-eight minutes and blends pixilation with animation. Eaten Up Planet was later re-edited, given music by Twoth, and released under the new title Forgotten Planet. For anyone curious about animation as craft rather than just storytelling, these shorts show one artist trying several techniques early in his career.
