The story is of a pregnant woman and her journey as a mother. Through both happy and rough times, all the experiences accumulate to the growing of a loving family. A big fir tree can always be seen by their side while the mother raises her child, and has watched over them through the times, like a guardian. It shows how KITTE, a shopping mall stands by the area that they are located, and connects the people, the town, the time they spend. With the feeling of wanting to say “thank you” to the people who come to KITTE, and to show that KITTE is a place where people connect with people, this film was conceived.
We created a miniature set to be the backdrop of the story. The story that is seen within the snow dome in the miniature set is shown through projecting the story upside down onto a studio backdrop and filmed through the snow dome. When you project a moving image onto a snow down, the image becomes upside down. So, we first filmed the story and edited the footage at the same time. We then, projected the edited footage upside down onto a studio wall and placed a snow dome in front of the studio wall. By shooting the footage through the snow dome, the footage was filmed right side up, creating a feeling that the story was happening inside the snow dome. As we only had one day to shoot, we had to test many times to get it right.
