We need your help!
At 14:46 (Japan Time) March 11th 2011, a massive scale earthquake of magnitude 9.0 occurred on the pacific coast along from Sanriku to Ibaraki coast.
Rolling blackouts begin on Monday, March 14th in the eastern part of Japan.
We are thinking of sending pen light messages to those who are in the affected areas with still no electricity with Co-director Kosai Sekine.
The messages will be written with light on the fly in the dark and will be put together as a slide show and into one music video. The song is going to be "KIMIDEITE BUJIDEITE(Stay as you are, stay safe)" by Yoko Kanno.
If you happen to have a long exposure capable camera and a pen light/flash light. Could you write a message in two or three pika pika images and send them to tochka.jp@gmail.com?
We expect to receive as many messages as possible and send them all out to people in the affected areas up in northern part of Japan.
Thank you so much for your cooperation,in advance.
TOCHKA (Takeshi NAGATA & Kazue MONNO)
This is the song, "KIMIDEITE BUJIDEITE(Stay as you are, stay safe)" by Yoko Kanno.
This is how we make pikapika.
Steps:
-------------------------------
1. We set the camera up in a spot about 10-15 ft away where you will easily be able to draw your picture.
-------------------------------
2. We Set the camera's shutter speed to bulb or at a longer exposure.
-------------------------------
3. Draw the image with the flashlight.
-------------------------------
4. Draw it over and over again.

The size of photos you should shoot.
Minimam size is 720x540 pixel
Over 1920x1080 is better.
You can send the photo about 5MB / 1photo.
This is Co-director, Kosai Sekine's calling.
He is collecting any kind of photos.

Hello all of my dearest friends,
Even though I already asked you guys to take PRAYing picture, because lots of materials I have got have slight inflexibility to use in the film, I'd like to ask you once again to picture your pray under these conditions:
1 Take your photo with deep pray, photo of LIGHT. For Example, candle lights or fire etc.
2 Please shoot the photo horizontally.
3 If you shoot with your mobile, avoid to shoot too small size. Also please avoid to send any big data size photo. It's great if you could send us within 2MB.
4 Please send the photo to: kosai.sekine@facebook.com
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your cooperation and I apologies for this shift of direction. If you already send the photo of light, of course I'd lie to use that.
Thanks again friends. Send the light to the suffers. Send the song.
