Background art: Virtual stage play “Otogibanashi”
To the far side of this world.
Composition was founded in 2013 by a group of CG creators. With a focus on live shows and characters, we have been raising virtual worlds inside real venues ever since. We have worked on more than 100 productions, and more than 2 million people have been in the audience at our live shows.
At its core, virtual production is about “creating another world.” We draw on both creativity and theory to make experiences that move people.
Technology is a means. What matters is using it to tell stories that move people. Most of the team are creators, and we build by throwing ideas at each other, whatever our roles.
We build
the artist's world.
The scenery that spreads across the stage, its depth, the way the light falls: our team builds all of it from scratch. What you see here is background art we made for real productions.
What we value
We value an environment where creative ideas can meet head-on.
- 01
Ideas and speed
Move fast, and put ideas and results first.
- 02
Teamwork
Communicate with care, and achieve as a team what no one could do alone.
- 03
Crossing boundaries
Go ahead and build things, even outside your own role. Speak up with opinions and ideas.
- 04
Respect
Respect every creator's time and skills, and recognize each other's expertise.
- 05
Feedback
Value suggestions made “to make the work better.”
Technology × Storytelling
Technology is a means. We combine cutting-edge technology with creativity to explore forms of expression that haven't existed before.
Creative driven
Much of what we take on has never been done before. It's easy to get your own ideas into the work, and you build a track record on new kinds of productions.
The moment everyone holds their breath.
A world we spent months building comes alive in front of the audience. Everything we make is for that moment, when everyone in the venue holds their breath. We want to work with people who love live shows and want to create that moment with us.
