NAKAMURIDER

Overview

Anno directed and also appeared in this short, live-action film when he was in the third year at high school. Starring Akimasa Nakamura, the student council president, it was made as the Art Club’s exhibit for the school festival. The film condenses his favorite elements, makes full use of effects such as stop motion and film scratching, and the images that are spontaneously and freely constructed solely by his senses represents the starting point of Anno’s special effects live action films. The adapted version which was re-edited by Anno in 2005 is screened.
