Ultraman: Rising

Ultraman: Rising was an incredibly fun and rewarding project. We had a lot of artistic freedom to make each shot shine.

Combining elements of manga with cel-shading techniques, the team crafted a unique visual language that gave the film a distinct and vibrant style. I was responsible for developing the underwater look and handled the reveal of the adorable creature that Ultraman is tasked with protecting — a key emotional moment in the story.

What made this project especially meaningful was the opportunity to attend live client reviews with the directors, receiving feedback in real time. That close collaboration helped guide the creative process and allowed us to fine-tune shots based on the director’s vision as it evolved. It was a true team effort that blended creative exploration with precise execution.
