FLIGHTGRAF Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2013 competition, FLIGHTGRAF has since accumulated numerous awards and experience at international events while continuing their unique exploration of projection mapping expression. They produce high-quality works through exceptional CG, a stoic worldview, and meticulous coordination with music, while also tackling expressions involving light effects. They are now active as one of Japan's leading, world-class visual creators. An after-movie showcasing the September event is now available!
