Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

Dokkōdō Films describes a staged production workflow: approved style frames precede motion, and the page says hand-keyframed start and end poses come before generated elements, compositing, grade, and grain. Its commercial terms specify a two-to-four-week turnaround, a 50/50 payment split, and ownership of the finished delivery. The listed work includes a 72-second samurai teaser, a 90-second cosmic-horror piece, and a project set in Tokyo in 1999.
