Background

Shunsaku Matsurida leads Drawnlot LLC, a design-focused production studio creating films, promotional and music videos, and real-time CG work such as AR, VR, and virtual production.
He has worked for many years as a CG artist and director in art and creative fields, and today builds everything from film work to interactive content with Unreal Engine at its core.
He is also an Unreal Authorized Instructor, an official Unreal Engine trainer certified by Epic Games.

His representative work includes:

  • PlayStation × YOASOBI “PLAYERS” PlayStation 30th Anniversary commercial (background CG and lighting)
  • The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (previs)
  • VR attraction “FLUCTUS: Wandering Ocean” (content director)

More of his work is available on Drawnlot's Works page.

His role as CCO

Matsurida leads creative, film, and experience design.
Together, we can cover the whole path from deciding what to build upstream to how it is finished downstream.
Alongside connecting technology and business, Arcnel now connects technology with expression and experience.

What his joining as CCO strengthens

In the media & entertainment (M&E) sector, we can now take on requests like these from planning through production:

  • Producing or directing film work with Unreal Engine when the know-how isn't in-house
  • Creating real-time interactive content and experiences
  • Raising the quality of creative work and visual look
  • Handing over an M&E project end to end, from planning to production

We published an interview with Matsurida on note (Japanese), covering how he came to join and what he wants to take on as CCO.
