Shiseido’s Web Movie Won Two Gold Lions

The Jury President of Cannes Lions Film Craft category, Ms. Laura Gregory said ”Juries were looking for entries to deliver a piece of work in a way that elevates it beyond the written script. We’re looking for details and choices. That includes casting, animation, visual effects, sound design and more. It’s not just about the idea, High School Girl? for Shiseido was among the jury’s favorites.”

This movie was jointly created by Watts of Tokyo, the video production company and Shiseido. Shiseido won Gold Lions for the first time since 2007 when “Like a doll» for Majolica Majorca won Gold Lion in Cyber category, and as for the Film, since 1985 when Inoui Cm won Gold Lions.
