Though making movies is not my main job, I had many opportunities to make Presentation movies for customers, Educational movies for students, Life history movies for wedding party or longevity celebration party, and so on.
In making movies, I'm using very cheap tools (Camera, Lighting, PC, etc.) and very ordinary applications. Only wits and ideas make up for my defects.
A proofreading plug-in for InDesign was released and I made PR movies which are played in the events for publishers. What surprised me most was the narration by a professional TV announcer. Her trained calm and fluent narration made my cheap works amazingly refined.
Urban Renaissance Agency, an independent administrative corporation for house and land developments, is holding PR events every year. Making presentation movies was one of my tasks. O.K., they'er not movies, but just slide shows made with PowerPoint actually. However, I had to controlled every small function of PowerPoint. Now I am confident of being PowerPoint-Master, so no one can blame me "It's not a movie, it's just a slide show!"
UR had me visit various towns they developed for events and interviews, I really enjoyed these jobs.

Iizuna Shoten, a reference book publishing company, has released more than 500 lecture movies on Youtube, and planning to release hundreds more. Now every publisher for students is making efforts to add value to its products, due to the low birthrate. In this case, I am in charge of recording, editing, post-production and so on (Almost all the tasks excepting giving leactures.)
Movies usually have very large data, so my iMac screamed to handle hundreds of them.
I have engaged in vitalizing some regions in the metropolitan area. Especially, Tokyo Sky Tree in Sumida Ward and Tsukuba City in Ibaraki Prefecture were impressive to me.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport tried to promote the importance of "Roads," and I searched unique and topical evens and activities concerned in roads and streets throughout Japan. I made trips to see the organizers and interviewed them, then made Mail Magazines and WebSites.
Detective. Mystery Shopper. Spy.
An investigation is one of my favorite jobs. Sometimes I act as a Detective, a Mystery Shopper, or a Spy.
When needed, I sometimes get into the underground and ... Oops, don't ask me more.
