ABOUT

PROFILE

Takuma Iwamoto
岩本 拓馬

Tokai University, School of Cultural and Social Studies
Based in Kanagawa, Japan

I study public relations and media at Tokai University's School of Cultural and Social Studies, and work as a video creator alongside my studies.

My work centres on live-action film, original music videos, cover song MVs and promotional films for the university. I handle the full process — planning, direction, shooting and editing.

I'm known for fast, rhythm-driven editing cut to the tempo of a track, lyric motion, and motion design built to leave an impression.

Every project has its own purpose and its own world, and my priority is always finding the visual language that only that particular piece could carry.

TOKAI UNIVERSITY

Science & Engineering Open Campus Film

Planning / Direction / Shooting / Editing

A promotional film introducing the open day for Tokai University's science and engineering faculties. I handled planning, direction, shooting and editing end to end, building the piece around the real campus and the students on it. Camerawork, cutting rhythm and overall flow were shaped so that the atmosphere of the campus and the appeal of the field come across in a short running time. Drawing on the rhythmic editing I developed through music video work, the aim was a film that informs and stays watchable at the same time.

TOKAI UNIVERSITY

School of Science Open Campus Film

Planning / Direction / Shooting / Editing

A promotional film for the School of Science open day at Tokai University, covering the full production process from planning through direction, shooting and editing. Rather than simply listing facilities and classes, the piece is composed so that the feel of the school comes through on screen, with attention to framing, transitions and pace. Working within the brief of university communications, the goal was a film people stay interested in right to the end.

MUSIC VIDEO

Banquet / team Baquet

VocaDuo2025 / Video / Motion Design

An original music video produced as an entry for VocaDuo2025. The brief I set myself was to carry the world and the rhythm of the track into the image, building the motion and the composition so that music and visuals move as one. Shifts in pace and moments of visual impact follow the structure of the song, aiming not at a film that stands alone but at one that makes the music land harder. Motion design and lyric treatment — the work I'm strongest at — sit at the centre of this piece.

MOTOR SPORTS

TOYOTA SUPER FORMULA "DIRECTOR'S CUT"

Video Production

A film produced as an entry for TOYOTA SUPER FORMULA "DIRECTOR'S CUT". The question driving the edit was how to translate the speed and force of motorsport into moving image, which led to the cutting pattern, the pacing and the kinetic treatment used throughout. The piece leans on what makes the race footage compelling in the first place while shaping it into something that stays with the viewer — my own fast-cut editing applied to motorsport as a subject.

COVER MUSIC VIDEO

Propose (プロポーズ) — Naisho no Piercing

covered by Sorane / Video / Motion Design

A music video for the cover track "Propose". The approach was to let the image complete the emotion already carried by the song and the vocal, so that the viewer falls into the world of the track. Lyrics, sound and on-screen movement work together, and the way the image is presented shifts as the song develops. Rather than simply displaying the words, the lyrics themselves are treated as part of the visual language.

COVER MUSIC VIDEO

IRIS OUT

covered by Ikaro / Video / Motion Design

The music video for the cover of "IRIS OUT". Built on the momentum and the structure of the track, it combines fast cutting, motion and lyric treatment throughout. Matching the movement of the image to the accents in the music and the shifts in the vocal gives the strength of the song a visual form. This is one of the pieces where the aggressive visual style and motion design I'm strongest at are pushed furthest forward.

COVER MUSIC VIDEO

APT.

covered by Sorane & Tsutsugi / Video / Motion Design

A music video for the cover of "APT.". Leaning into the pop sensibility and the tempo of the track, the aim was an image that unfolds satisfyingly in time with the rhythm. Cuts and typographic treatment land on the accents in the vocal and the arrangement, making the piece enjoyable to watch in its own right. The thinking behind it: read the particular mood of each song, then design the tone and the movement of the image to match.

PROGRAM IMAGE

TELEVISION

triangle, October 2026

Producer

I served as producer on the October 2026 edition of the television programme "triangle". Unlike working alone on a film, the role meant taking an overview of the whole programme and being involved in planning and production management. Beyond the visual craft itself, the work was guided by a communications perspective — what is being said, to whom, and in what way. Alongside the ability to make the work, it built experience in bringing several processes and roles together into one finished piece.

MY STYLE

MOTION × MUSIC × WORLD

Music and image are never separate.

The rhythm of a track, the lyrics, the feeling in a vocal, the moment the sound turns. Combining those with cuts, type, graphics and motion creates an experience the music alone could not produce.

FAQ

What do I need to prepare before ordering?

Please send the audio file (WAV preferred), the lyrics as text, the artwork you want used, and links to any videos you would like to use as reference. Artwork must be cleared with the illustrator for use in video.

I don't have artwork yet. Can I still get in touch?

Yes. Send over the track and the mood you are aiming for, and I can advise on how to approach the artwork as part of the plan.

How long does production take?

Roughly three to four weeks from the point all materials are in hand. Delivery within two weeks is possible as a paid option. If you have a release date in mind, please mention it in your first message.

How many rounds of revisions are included?

Two rounds are included at no extra cost. Further rounds are charged per revision. Mistakes on my side, such as a typo in the lyrics, are corrected free of charge and do not count toward the included rounds.

Do you work with clients outside Japan?

Yes. Written communication in English is welcome, and quotes are issued in Japanese yen. Please allow for the time difference in scheduling, as replies are sent from Japan Standard Time.

Do you take on work from companies and organisations?

Yes. Past work includes promotional films for a university, motorsport video and a television programme. Let me know the intended use, where it will be published and your target date, and I will quote individually.

LET'S CREATE
SOMETHING NEW.

I take on music videos, cover song MVs, live-action film, PV and promotional video, and I'm glad to talk through an idea before anything is decided.

Hard-hitting tracks and vocaloid music are where I'm strongest — film and motion design built around the world a piece of music creates.
