The Beat Makers
- 2013
- Hewlett Packard Japan
JKD produced a music documentary film featuring three beat-makers–DJ Mitsu the Beats, Olive Oil, and DJ Uppercut feat. Chinza Dopeness–who are pushing boundaries in the Japanese music scene. This film captures the essence of their creative process and the inspiration behind their beat making. The film was produced to promote the “Slate 7,” a music-focussed tablet by Hewlett Packard.
A teaser video was released on YouTube, and the full-length version along with a sophisticated application developed by the programming unit called Hive, a spin-off from Team Lab, was displayed in retail stores.
