CHIharu Shimura

She studied under Yuichi Kodama, the director of 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

She has also worked on music videos and advertising projects that require expressive expression. She has focused on music, space, the current situation, and movement direction, visualizing buoyancy, gravity, and other sensory aspects that do not occur in the real world with leveraging her flexibility.

She specializes in CG and compositing projects, direction of choreography for performers with composing the choreography, and art direction.

She has also been influenced by her experience studying dance abroad, which has given her a multifaceted perspective on international video production and a perspective that is not overly biased toward domestic productions in Japan. After returning to Japan, she has also experienced directing many choreographies in films, advertisements, music video, and dramas.

For example, she has experience in movement direction, choreography, and video direction for Rinko Kikuchi, an international actress.
