Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
We have a legitimate Godzilla project with suitmation for the first time since 2004. I have ceased to function.
How come this is more exciting than entire animes and Hollywood films? It shows what the true appeal of the franchise is. At least the visual aesthetic.

It's not the first time. There was Dream Challenge: Godzilla Appears in Sukagawa in 2019 and Godzilla Appears at Godzilla Fest 2020 in 2020 (the same annual event for which the Godzilla vs. Hedorah short is being produced).Jeff-Goldblum2 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 4:37 pm We have a legitimate Godzilla project with suitmation for the first time since 2004.

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
While the first one was aired, I don't think it was public/put out there. I believe you had to pay a special online ticket or something to see it. This is different however, as it seems they want to make it easy to watch on YouTube. It's also made by the same group of people.
I wonder if this will be longer.

I certainly hope so! I wouldn't even mind if they furthered their partnership with TsuPro...

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
The quallity of this also seems much higher. As well as the scenario it puts forward. Godzilla fighting Hedorah could be a legitimate thing for a Godzilla movie. Godzilla shows up at G-Fest not so much.

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
Very interesting. Is there anywhere to see the whole short film from 2019 (the one with the ‘54 style suit)? I vaguely remember seeing that preview before once.
This new Hedorah film looks fun. Can’t wait for November!

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
Afraid not, the 2019 film is iirc exclusive to the Eiji Tsuburaya museum and has not been released online in any form (unless cam-ripped/pirated which I highly doubt considering how strict Japan is on those sort of things). Honestly would have been great to see it but I can understand the appeal of having it as an "exhibit" short of sorts.canofhumdingers wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 6:52 pm Very interesting.

On a different, absolutely can't wait for this short. It's incredible to see both suits so well preserved to the point that they can be used in such a manner again. Plus releasing it on GvH's 50th anniversary is perfect

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
I need the guys behind Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle, to work with these Toho guys, and put together an ongoing Godzilla TV show. Default TV budgets are that of old school movie budgets, so Godzilla is a prime candidate.

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
I was recently reminded that is not *technically* the first suitmation Godzilla battle since 2004; the CR pachinko games have filmed new footage using movie suits before, supposedly as recently as 2018 (though I haven't seen any new footage from that one). Here's a fun one from 2010 (which, despite using two Final Wars suits, does not use the FinalGoji suit):
I wonder if the new short will have beam effects like this. It'd be neat to see 2004 Hedorah using eye beams.

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
I was thinking of the pachinko stuff. Kinda crazy to see those suits in action. With that though, it would be really easy to imagine a live action TV show similar to Ultraman and whatnot. All there needs to be is decent plots, and we got gold.Shenanigans wrote: ↑Sun Oct 24, 2021 7:01 pm I was recently reminded that is not *technically* the first suitmation Godzilla battle since 2004; the CR pachinko games have filmed new footage using movie suits before, supposedly as recently as 2018 (though I haven't seen any new footage from that one).

I imagine that Hedorah will use sulfuric mist and maybe the eye beams. IMO it would be a tad disappointing if Hedorah doesn't have any fun or special abilities.

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
I wish they'd just step on Legendary's toes already and not give a skreeonk and go back to making their own movies whenever they feel like it, but wanting some Goji content I can actually enjoy. Legendary doesn't seem interested in making a movie I want to watch any more, the anime is...very dull, long, and seems more interest in philosophical navel gazing (Trilogy) or sci-fi physics babble (SP). Short films are kind of a cold comfort to getting full films I might actually like again, but I'll take cold comfort over no comfort. At least with these little videos of the ride or short films like this I can still enjoy new Godzilla content in at least some small capacity. It's weird to be in an age of tons of Godzilla content and not being happy with most of it, but that's just where I am now. But yeah, this looks great and I'll take what little good I can from this franchise right now.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 6:44 amSimilar to the recent ride, Godziban and SP, this feels like another “how do we make Japanese Godzilla content without involving or stepping on Legendary’s toes”.
Honestly surprised there's not more discussion for this short, kind of thought this news would blow up around here.

We do indeed! It's nice to be getting so many different little Godzilla treats.

I could be wrong, but the head and neck here seems more rigid than what I remember watching Final Wars. Or maybe it's been so long since I've watched it I'm just caught off guard by the design now.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 3:35 pm I feel like the GFW suit is a heavily modified/fixed version of the old one. The head looks slightly different, and the arms feel a bit more bulky.
Added in 7 minutes 7 seconds:
I really wish all those Pachinko videos were available and all in one long video or on a playlist so we'd be sure we got them all. I kind of find it hard trying to find, sort through, and know what it is with this kind of stuff since I can't read Japanese.Shenanigans wrote: ↑Sun Oct 24, 2021 7:01 pm I was recently reminded that is not *technically* the first suitmation Godzilla battle since 2004; the CR pachinko games have filmed new footage using movie suits before, supposedly as recently as 2018 (though I haven't seen any new footage from that one).

I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
The short was decent. Just as you’d expect it. Hedorah wasn’t some super monster, but it definitely wasn’t a pushover and got to utilize some of its abilities. The entire thing was a strange mix of GFW and Godzilla vs Hedorah. Considering this is a free short, I thought they did fantastic within the limitations they had. Even with some simple stuff, they managed to showcase some creativity in the true spirit of tokkasatsu. I definitely see some potential of a Godzilla TV series now.

It would be stupid for them to not keep it up indefinitely, but on the off chance it isn’t, people should save and download it. I imagine a few people have already done that.

I'd appreciate it for keeping the medium alive other than the Ultraman Franchise and fan-related projects. Beyond that, I really don't know.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 3:32 am How would you feel in the near future if Toho made a full blown Godzilla TV show using suitmation?

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
Nice little 5 minute short. Was really cool seeing Hedorah utilized longer. I will say I’m not 100% sure about this style being used again as THE way to make G films. As far as a tv show in this style… they’d really have to utilize even better sfx mixed with cgi compared to what was shown here.
Regardless this was a fun treat. Now we await an official announcement on the next Godzilla project.
