A Love Letter To Analog Music
A product animation of Amethyst (Moving Magnet) for Sumiko Phono Cartridges
For the past 40 years, Sumiko has been supplying audiophiles around the world with the finest phono cartridges, hand-built by skilled artisans in Japan.
Sumiko reached out to Transparent House to conceive a story that would showcase one of their flagship creations.
With this animation, we tried to create simultaneously both a product video and love letter to vinyl and the analog music.
PS: This is how the surface of a vinyl record and its grooves actually look under a microscope!
"The Transparent House team is a joy to work with. The creative team prioritized our needs to create something both beautiful and technically correct. They were eager to understand the content themselves so that they could create a more informed product that the whole world can now learn from as well as enjoy the very impressive, unique & engaging aesthetics that are sure to draw many viewers."
