Animation and design studio Nathan Love has added the husband and wife directorial duo Who-Fu to its talent roster. Who-Fu consists of motion picture director/illustrator Magico Nakamura and art director/illustrator Masayoshi Nakamura.
“Who-Fu combines traditional animation, illustration, stop motion, and many other mediums to create their distinctive style,” said Joe Burrascano. founder and executive creative director of the New York-based Nathan Love. “Their fearlessness in expressing their vast imaginations expands Nathan Love’s capabilities and has allowed us to branch out past the traditional work for which we are known.”
Who-Fu made an initial career splash with inclusion in the 2010 Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase on the strength of its Japanese band Sour music video “Hibi No Neiro” (“Tone of Everyday”), reflecting how a webcam behaves and how to cleverly use the limits of the technology to get the most effect.
