  • About commercial and TikTok filter production

[Avant-garde's flawless dance performance]




In this commercial, Akane came up with a synchronized dance that looks like a mirror, with a life-sized frame. The mirror is a symbol of fashion and a motif of confronting oneself. With the coming summer approaching, the production conveys the image and message of releasing the specialness within oneself.

The commercial featured a dance performance by the avant-garde members, filmed in front of a camera standing in a space lit by red spotlights, the key color of the Grand Bazaar.

[With the latest motion capture technology, anyone can become an avant-garde!]

The TikTok effect linked to this commercial uses the latest motion capture technology to perfectly recreate Avant-Garde's dance.

Anyone can shoot videos that appear to be dancing avant-garde synchronized dance simply by opening Tiktok.
