Naoaki Shibuta

Born in Japan in 1985. He holds a doctorate in animation film from the school of visual studies of the Tokyo State University of Fine Arts. He currently works as a commercial animation filmmaker and recorder. What fascinates him most are the empty spaces, the metamorphosis and the visual illusion, well summarized in the checkerboard drawings, with which he makes animated films, a line of research that he intends to continue in the years to come.
