Just read from push square, Sony Japan's playstation lineup animation video--that was first played at the Playstation's 2019 awards event not too long ago--plagiarized other artist's work:
At the end of last week, Sony uploaded one of its regular PlayStation lineup music videos on its Japanese YouTube channel. As usual, the advert featured some gorgeous animation in between all the gameplay footage. Sony has now removed said video from its channel following reports that the animations are plagiarising the work of other artists.
The above tweet shows the PlayStation trailer's animations on the right, and originals on the left. As you can see, the similarities are too obvious to deny. The director/animator who led the way on Sony's advert is Kevin Bao, and it's now been found that he's copied the work of others before. Additionally, Bao's page on the CONNECTION agency site has been taken down, as has his Instagram.
