Godzilla Shinjuku Tokyo Government Building Attack Short

[Kailem]

The Godzilla Festival Osaka wrapped up a few hours ago, and of course the livestream of the event has immediately been taken offline (again). Supposedly it's meant to be viewable for the next couple of weeks though, so hopefully it'll be put back up soon.

In the meantime though, we've got the "Godzilla Shinjuku Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Attack" short film that debuted over in, well, Shinjuku, posted online in full and in shiny hi-def by someone who's obviously over there doing the Lord's work, depicting Godzilla returning to his old Godzilla vs King Ghidorah stomping ground!

This was a lot of fun. They really made some creative use of the limited space, I really liked the return of the Super X as "Super X-Kai", and the ending was also especially cool. It'd be hard to have this show up anywhere else without losing the whole effect of it being projected on an actual building, but regardless, we've got the video of it here, and it's just straight-up pretty darn awesome!

Delightful! Besides the surprise ending, I think the Super-X pilots parachuting to safety was my favorite bit!

It's amazing how they synced it all up to the shape of the building, right down to the windows lining up with the real ones when they all shattered. The time lapse of them recontructing the building was impressive too.

Yeah it's kinda crazy how well they were able to sync this up. I would have expected a little bit of a "ghosting" effect where seeing the real building underneath messed with the projection here and there, but it was extremely smooth.

Ha, yeah that was a nice little touch! A good way to keep things light and cheery and not having to suddenly have kids thinking "so, those pilots just died...." when it gets to that part!

Also, the Godzilla Festival Osaka livestream video is up again, though potentially only for a couple of weeks:
