Toei Streams 3rd, 4th Making-of Video for 'Rebellions' Pilot

The Japanese production company Toei began streaming a third making-of video for the live-action "Rebellions" project on October 13 and a fourth on Thursday. The "Part 3" video includes an interview with the project's visual effects supervisor as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the demo's editing, sound effects, visual effects, and other post-production processes. The "Part 4" video features interviews with the project's three actresses.

The "Part 1" video included an interview with director Kōichi Sakamoto and a look at the visual effects process for the demo. The "Part 2" video featured interviews with the project's actresses and a behind-the-scenes look at the greenscreen and motion-capture procedures used in the action movie demo.

Toei began streaming a 133-second demo movie for "Rebellions" on its YouTube channel in August. Sakamoto, the action director for much of the Power Rangers franchise , oversaw the demo's creation at Toei Digital Center's Tsukun Laboratory. The short movie ends with a pitch for investors in order to expand "Rebellions" into a complete film.

The cast of the demo video includes Nao Nagasawa (Ninpū Sentai Hurricaneger), Minami Tsukui (Kamen Rider Den-O), and Saaya Irie (Hell Girl, Kyo no Gononi). Toshiyuki Kimura (Casshern) was a concept designer, and Yasushi Nirasawa (Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Hellboy) designed the characters. Dango Takeda (Kamen Rider, Gantz, Mamoru Oshii's Assault Girls) designed the costumes, while Atsushi Takeuchi (Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell, Yukikaze) designed the motorcycle.
