TECHNE: The Visual Workshop
Creative educational TV show for NHK Educational TV since 2012

Launched in 2012, “TECHNE: The Visual Workshop” is a creative educational TV show for NHK ETV, Japan’s national public broadcaster. The program targets aspiring filmmakers and creatives, introducing a new visual craft (such as stop-motion) in each episode to compel its viewers to produce a film using the featured technique.

As Executive Creative Director of Techne, CCO Masashi Kawamura played a key role in leading the show to win the Japan Media Arts Festival, ADC, and many other awards. The show has also given birth to spinoffs like “8K Techne” and “Uta Techne”, and has been featured in live events across Japan.
