How I Made a Godzilla Movie in One Week

Can one artist make a Godzilla short movie in 80 hours? Let's find out.

TRAFFIQ CAR ADD-ON

I used a bunch of sketchfab assets for this scene, which can be found below.

Got an idea for a video you'd like to see? Let me know here!

I really like this! Things that caught my eye: The lights on the boat look strange, maybe they're just too big or too bright. On the radar, remove the detail in the outline of Godzilla so they can't tell what it is. It's more suspenseful/ominous that way because it was sort of comical to see his little arms show up on the radar. When he steps on the van, some parts should fall off so it doesn't look like a toy. I think you nailed the rest - nice job :)

that roar on legendary Godzilla is so cursed but cool

The shot of the spine passing into view in front of the boat is SUPER NICE. The model had me skeptical that it would look good, but it looks much better/cooler/scarier in the dark lighting, with atmosphere. Especially poking out of the water. My favorite scene however, is actually when the monster is standing up out of the ocean. The way he's almost 100% silhouette, contrasting with the sparkles made by the water reflecting light off of him here and there is so epic. It's the sparkles for me, man.

80 hours well spent ! Really good work mate

[keepingupwiththesalus]

Brilliant! Opening shot, my favourite! Comping these with real life footages would have taken it to next level. Well Done!

[KevBinge]

Water in Blender… I applaud this effort for that alone! That takes some special tolerance for Hell haha!

[BoomBoomPew]

This looks amazing for a week's worth of work! You should also do another video on how you could improve/remaster your previous work with better textures and lighting. Would really be interesting how you could go about that!

Godzilla's most chill stroll through the city.

the beginning.water & end green glowing scenes are my favorite...and they are really good...
cool you share your flow....thx

[WarpedSpino]

Wow… this shows godzilla more than the godzilla 2014 movie

Congrats on the result and sticking with your time limit. Making shorts like these as personal projects seem to be an exercise in descision making on methods, detail and where to spend your time budget . Thanks for sharing.

Awesome job on this, dude! This is a great Blender breakdown, but I'd just like to call out how great the sound design is on this short. Sound design is the most important aspect when creating a mood for your scene, and you crushed it. Can't wait for the next one! Maybe Back to the Future???

Loved the first half! The second half felt more like a well done previs shot

[prateikbanger]

The animation was really great! Some things you should add if you want to in the future are: Everything shaking when Godzilla steps, Make the steps louder, and maybe make Godzilla's dorsal plates glow pulsating.

[danielvanderkaaden]

Impressive :) you really managed to set a mood with those shots.

[MikeXerxesGomez]

Great work! Don't be afraid to add reverb to your foot stomps and growling to make audio transitions a bit much smoother. Keep it up!

[ReysaAdam]

Dude that shot of Godzilla rising up from the water at 15:40 was terrifying, straight up gave me the heebie jeebies when i saw it the first time. this is AWESOME!

Been binging these videos now, amazing work.

One thing that I'd recommend in the final video tho: Add ambient sounds. Godzilla trampling the city and there are no sirens or car alarms, no traffic, no background hum of a city? It would add so much in between the silence of the main sounds. Both in the apartment and in the street those would really elevate the already stunning renders.

That would be a very passable game cutscene from 2000's. Amazing you can create that by yourself in 1 week. Good job!
