1:31 Tank person here. All that would matter for that short is whether the tanks looked accurate to the _studio models_ of the period, and I think *you absolutely nailed it there.* Any minor oddities on the designs are covered by the excellent lighting and film grain anyway, so no need to worry on specific details. Both in the short and the blender preview file here, it looks like a more blocky version of the Type 61 tank, which saw service in the Japan Ground Self Defence Force and heavily featured (in RC model kit form) in the films, particularly in the late Showa era. It also closely resembles the model tanks - likely based on M47 ‘Pattons’ - on an iconic studio promo photo of the 1954 Godzilla confronted by tanks and artillery guns - which I suspect you must have referenced - a model curiously absent from the final film. As a bit of bonus trivia, the real-life tank footage used for the 1954 film were of American-built M24 Chaffee light tanks, the first tanks of the freshly-formed JGDSF, and the same tanks used by American occupation forces after WW2.
For some of the close ups on Godzilla head, I honestly couldn’t tell if it was animation or an actual physical model of him being moved around by hand. It just all looks so fluid and natural.
You just gave the bridge bones! It's a fantastic solution and really pays off in the final product. This entire animation is nothing short of brilliant. It's among several fantastic fan works coming out right now that are really inspiring me to follow through on my own ideas! Thank you for what must have been some hard weeks of work.
I saw it on Corridor Crew and up to the point they said it was done in blender I was totally convinced it was the original movie (which I didn't see). Thank you for all the time you invested on this project! It's really inspiring!
You did an a very spectacular and amazing job, you put so much effort and talent with what you've created, the way Godzilla moves and looks in this animation makes it look like he's a stop motion puppet similar to how King Kong was in the 1933 film.
BRILLIANT. I love how you reveal your process yet there is still a lot of mystery in your artistic direction. The "icing on the cake" is the post processing and composition marriage. You really got the classic B&W film colors and look down perfectly. Came here from Corridor Crew. You EARNED it, man! I hope this takes you places!
The fact that you made this thing that makes big budget hollywood cgi look like amateur hour on a LAPTOP is baffling to me. Seriously I can't overstate how much you nailed making this stuff look genuinely real, and not just real, but easily identifiable as puppetry, stopmotion, and suitmation all while still using the same models. You've completely ruined all other CGI for me, it's not even close. And it's 4/21 so I'm sober now and I'm still saying this. I know I don't know a lot about animation so I'm not surprised my assumptions about how you made different scenes look like different practical effects are wrong, I assumed it was a framerate thing. But using only key frames makes sense and sounds obvious in retrospect. I guess the main difference between the puppet and suit shots is the framing and, like... body language, I guess you'd call it? I'm still so shook how much you made it look like that model had a person inside it even with its goofy proportions. I think there's different filters, too, right? Like am I crazy or do you use different film grain settings on the wide shots versus the "puppet" closeups and that stop motion scene? I can't parse any of this complicated editing software so like anything you didn't spell out was lost on me. Also I'm not a tank person either but my whole personality is Godzilla so a little bit has rubbed off and I THINK that the weird T-thing on the end of the main cannon on the tank you modeled is like on the... Chaffee or Sherman, one of those, one of those two tanks they used in the 50's and 60's movies that the JSDF got from the US after the occupation. So like to my untrained eye you nailed it.
Came here from the corridor crew video and have to say that I was also tricked. Really impressive what you did there. Wish you all the best on your animation journey!
SO amazingly good... it really demonstrates (like you pointed out), it's all about how it looks from the camera. The choices you made were just SPOT ON. WELL DONE!! We need to bring this to Toho's attention!
I know it was so incredibly time consuming but I truly hope you do a part 2 of this because this is so beautiful and I can’t stop watching your original video!
This is great! Its be cool to see a breakdown of your process dor film emulation, comping the shots together, the fire and other stuff you did to sell it.
I am so DEEPLY impressed and am so happy you shared your process! It's incredible that you accomplished this with Blender, I'm amazed! For long stretches of this it really looks like it's actual suitmation and miniatures footage! Fantastic!!
The tank models share enough similarities with American tanks from the late 1940s and early 1950s that you had me wondering exactly what type of tank they were. The turret looks similar to the M26 Pershing, and the body looks similar to the M47 Patton. I also loved the stop-motion style animation for when he bites the train. Great work on the video! It does an amazing job of recreating the look and feel of the original Godzilla!
Corridor Crew brought me here and I'm not disappointed. This is really cool. I wish, I had the patience to learn blender, but it's just too different to what I'm used to. Switching from UE to blender and back is really annoying, everything works different😫 Nevertheless, congrats for fooling the Corridor Crew guys
Amazing work!! Thanks for posting the process, I couldn't believe it was made on Blender and not real footage from the 50's! Such great work, congrats you deserve more views from all the Godzilla fans out there.
Amazing work my friend! I'm in the long path of leaning 3D animation and your video really inspired me to move on. Not only it inspires me to move on, but it also proved me that no matter how hard this work looks, nothing's too late to start from the bottom. I enjoyed your fan film so much. It truly shows how important fan made work is because Hollywood never learns how to make good content that brings joy and a message instead of a typical cash grab. Keep up with the great work! You've got talent!
2:11 The only thing I have to add is to not forget to close the jaws at least a tiny bit when picking up things 😅. It looks like whatever's picked up just magically floats up otherwise 😅.
Wow, love from a stop motion artist from Germany, how could anyone spend this much effort into making a masterpiece like that, I mean modeling a tank, a train, a city, a Godzilla, and animating all of these frame by frame, that's astonishing work! coming from corridor crews episode on this.
Absolutely incredible work. I have done some stuff in blender and the magnitude of work going on here is amazing. I had considered doing a project like this but I'm scared to commit so much time to one project.
You literally made the movement look as if it were a person inside a suit like in the classic movies of the character, without looking like the movements of a 3D Hollywood monster. I'm surprised ^^
I love the colored behind-the-scenes shots featured in this; did you also happen to record a full color version in addition to the black-and-white one?
I'll add to the other positive comments here and say that I absolutely loved your film! The way your Godzilla moved was so much like the 1954 Toho classic, I thought that it might be some long-lost footage! The digital animation and the stop-motion were well executed and added power to a fantastic tribute to the King of Monsters! With your expertise, you should consider working for Toho Studios! Yes! You ARE that GOOD!!!
You did a superb job! Some of the most creepy and atmospheric footage I've ever witnessed. I liked your model choice for Godzilla... reminded me of the sculptures they made during the original Godzilla. The head gave me a bit of a Shin Godzilla feel...I hope to see more of your work.👍🤘😎
This turned out so well, I’ll be subscribing to see how you improve because if your early stuff looks like this id love to see what you do in the future
So much awesome stuff in your short! I’d love to see a process video of how you took the animation into your post process to achieve your incredible 50’s period b/w film grainy look!
So thankful you did a BTW, so many creative tricks to get the feeling of the 50s films. I was wondering though how you did the lighting to help with the B&W look
Using Pigmon as a reference for how a guy in a suit would flop over is incredible.
Incredible work! Also don't worry, no one actually knows the 'proper' way to do things in 3D haha, as long as it works and looks good! :D
Whaaaattt no way you checking my video!! I love your content! Thank you for the comment!
yes there is no proper way haha
only the end results matter and you nailed it perfectly
The Animation was Literally a
M A S T E R P I E C E
this is so insane
Thank you!!!!

Same.

This is great
You just fooled the Corridor Crew with this video lol
very well done!
I saw it on Corridor Crew and up to the point they said it was done in blender I was totally convinced it was the original movie (which I didn't see). Thank you for all the time you invested on this project! It's really inspiring!
I’ve grown up on those old black & white Godzilla films & you fooled me!!
You’ve NAILED IT!!!🎉
*Corridor Crew sent me
5:48 nice touch with the shin godzilla beam sound, well its also kind od destroyahs but yeah
ＣＧでストップモーション風な動きってのが凄い技術。
One of the best Godzilla Animations yet on RUclips
The work on this is incredible, i can see you making a full length film like this and people legitimately not knowing it was modern. It looks so good!
That’s some amazing work! You’ve just been featured on Corridor Crew, be prepared to blow up! 😊
You did an a very spectacular and amazing job, you put so much effort and talent with what you've created, the way Godzilla moves and looks in this animation makes it look like he's a stop motion puppet similar to how King Kong was in the 1933 film.
4:44 ここ模型にしか見えないぐらいクオリティ高い
BRILLIANT. I love how you reveal your process yet there is still a lot of mystery in your artistic direction. The "icing on the cake" is the post processing and composition marriage. You really got the classic B&W film colors and look down perfectly. Came here from Corridor Crew. You EARNED it, man! I hope this takes you places!
Hey, just saw you in the latest Corridor Crew video and your work is just mind blowing! It's sooooo smoothly done, bellissimo 👌

Knowing you did this all ON A LAPTOP, makes this final product all the more impressive, dude.
Awesome work, hope to see more stuff like it!
agreed. impressive squeeze of limited hardware.
From now on i consider this to be a cannonical sequel to the original 1954 film
Same honestly but wasn’t Gojira dead in his first film?
This is more like a slight remake of the original film
SO amazingly good... it really demonstrates (like you pointed out), it's all about how it looks from the camera. The choices you made were just SPOT ON. WELL DONE!! We need to bring this to Toho's attention!
5:47 - The heat ray sound from The War of the Worlds (1954)
Loved it, especially the lighting and film emulation.
yeah ok this is the best godzilla fan film I've ever seen and I HIGHLY doubt it will be topped anytime soon
I know it was so incredibly time consuming but I truly hope you do a part 2 of this because this is so beautiful and I can’t stop watching your original video!
The corridor crew sent me here 😎 you have a talent my dude, keep it up
I love the original design for gojira, it makes me wish they would’ve used it in the original, something about it looks more eery
This is great! Its be cool to see a breakdown of your process dor film emulation, comping the shots together, the fire and other stuff you did to sell it.
The atomic breath hand drawings are amazing.
As all your work.
Good job man! Congrats.
Bro this is HEAVILY underrated its amazing
Great vid, congrats on being on corrador!
I am so DEEPLY impressed and am so happy you shared your process! It's incredible that you accomplished this with Blender, I'm amazed! For long stretches of this it really looks like it's actual suitmation and miniatures footage! Fantastic!!

Nevertheless, congrats for fooling the Corridor Crew guys
Just saw this on corridor crew. Man this is incredible. It looks exactly like those old movies.
The rubbery skin look and movements really nailed that old aesthetic, now I wish I knew how to animate… Fantastic work!!!
The things that blender can be used to create are unbelievable. So amazing. Great job man
Amazing work!! Thanks for posting the process, I couldn't believe it was made on Blender and not real footage from the 50's! Such great work, congrats you deserve more views from all the Godzilla fans out there.
I just love this Godzilla design, keep up the good work!
corridor crew sent me XD
i'm impressed with this nice job!
Came here from corridor. Great work bruzzy, subbed
Amazing work my friend! I'm in the long path of leaning 3D animation and your video really inspired me to move on.
Not only it inspires me to move on, but it also proved me that no matter how hard this work looks, nothing's too late to start from the bottom.

Keep up with the great work! You've got talent!
Thanks for this breakdown!❤🔥
you are beyond skilled and hard working the result looks so so good
2:11 The only thing I have to add is to not forget to close the jaws at least a tiny bit when picking up things 😅. It looks like whatever's picked up just magically floats up otherwise 😅.
I just started last week and stuff like this gets me so hype. So much to learn!
This was so amazing. The photos of godzilla in the opening were genuinely creepy looking.
An amazing work of art, it amazes me to no end that a film that took a studio full of people to make can now be done by 1 person, just incredible.
Amazing work!! Can't wait for your next project!!
Just saw you in Corridor crew. You're my new hero bro🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯
Wow! Mind blown! Great work, can't wait to see what you come up with next.
This short was incredible, the work put into it was amazing!
Really cool behind the scenes stuff
Incredible stuff man, congrats!
I like that you used the maquette design
Damn! This is next level! I love the aesthetic of this whole project! I love Godzilla’s design too! Amazing work!
this guy is a legend
That design of Godzilla is kind of accurate when I watch the video I thought the movements was suitmation
Wow, love from a stop motion artist from Germany, how could anyone spend this much effort into making a masterpiece like that, I mean modeling a tank, a train, a city, a Godzilla, and animating all of these frame by frame, that's astonishing work! coming from corridor crews episode on this.
So cool! Amazing job! Looks hard, but keep it up!
ngl, the armature in the tank was hilarious 😂 great work!
Godzilla/1954 design is the Masterpiece!👍👏
underrated channel. keep at it bro this looks amazing!
Replicating the old old optical effects for Godzillla's beam attack by literally drawing it in procreate is WILD!!!! :0
Absolutely incredible work. I have done some stuff in blender and the magnitude of work going on here is amazing. I had considered doing a project like this but I'm scared to commit so much time to one project.
You literally made the movement look as if it were a person inside a suit like in the classic movies of the character, without looking like the movements of a 3D Hollywood monster. I'm surprised ^^
Absolute mind-blowing
this is so cool, you really did an amazing job and now im inspired to learn blender.
Holy shit! Now this is awesome! I thought the men were actually actors, Godzilla looks amazing enough to look like a suit.
I love the colored behind-the-scenes shots featured in this; did you also happen to record a full color version in addition to the black-and-white one?
Majestic work, keep going 🤩
I'll add to the other positive comments here and say that I absolutely loved your film!

Absolute majesty
I love this so much omg. Are you gonna do a video on the compositing? Or is that gonna be a secret recipe (wouldn't blame you lol)
Simply can't give you enough thumbs up..!!!
This turned out so well, I’ll be subscribing to see how you improve because if your early stuff looks like this id love to see what you do in the future
Corridor crew shouted you out, prepear to get 100k subs🎉
Bro, this need more recognition. Truly great job at this man :)
I usually never watch behind the scenes videos, but this is really, really cool
So much awesome stuff in your short! I’d love to see a process video of how you took the animation into your post process to achieve your incredible 50’s period b/w film grainy look!
I knew it was hand painted!!
Great job really well done!!!
Saw your clip on the corridor crew, I laughed so hard when they said it’s cgi. Amazing work.
love your work , you would be an excellent director
This is amazing
So thankful you did a BTW, so many creative tricks to get the feeling of the 50s films. I was wondering though how you did the lighting to help with the B&W look
Wow ! Really impressive...i found you through the corridor crew channel 😁
This is awesome; what a wizard!
this looks so amazing
That was incredible, thanks for sharing.
in before this blows up by VFX artists react
I'm very happy you've documented the process of making of this project. I wonder how long it took from start to finish.
I'm here bcos of Corridor digital vfx react.... Reacting the same as wren did😮
Incredible work! Are you rendering these in Cycles?
I will pay you money for those props. Also I really love the attention to detail you put into this.
