“SHIP” is the first “NFT art film” that combines NFT art and entertainment
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 14 September 2022 – Art Tokyo Global (“ATG”), a Singapore company, announced the completion of SHIP – the world’s first immersive NFT art film. By utilizing user interactivity techniques, the film sets a new milestone for the film industry, enabling viewers to interact with the film in theaters or from the comfort of their own homes.
With 221 NFT artworks spread across 14 stages, SHIP showcases the work of over 80 emerging and established Asian artists. Among these is a unique collection of 5 artworks -Shizuku Shizuku by renowned Japanese artist and architect, Mr. Kengo KUMA, who was listed on Time magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2021.
The film seamlessly blends the genres of art, graphics, performance, music and technology into a cohesive experience. Viewers will be treated to a multi-sensory display of cutting-edge NFT art, spectacular sound tracking, touching stories of humanity, and will even have the opportunity to purchase the artwork featured in the film right from their seats. Tailored to connoisseurs and new fans alike, SHIP presents an exciting new cultural experience and opportunity within the entertainment sector.
The film incorporates new cinematographic techniques, such as advanced volumetric photography to construct virtual spaces from images captured by 2D cameras. During film production, the director used 150 to 400 cameras to film each scene to deliver the immersive experience as a vehicle for rich visual storytelling.
SHIP’s narrative builds on the speculative geological theory of Amasia – a gathering and amalgamation of the continents into a single entity in the distant future, and emphasizes the importance of seeking connection with others and meaningful cross-cultural dialogue in our increasingly divided present. According to Mr. Naohiko KISHI, Chairman and Executive Producer of ATG, “In this film, viewers become a crew member of a ship that transcends time and space. Set across Greece, Egypt, China and Japan, SHIP navigates viewers through a story of beauty and conflicts that humanity has repeatedly caused; where cultures flourished on each of the five continents separated from a single landmass 250 million years ago, conflict ensued.”
The global premiere of SHIP is scheduled for late November 2022 in Singapore, and a worldwide public release is planned for early 2023 in theaters and across streaming platforms.
