#godzilla #godzillaminusone #academyawards #oscars #visualeffects #vfx

On January 23, Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi and Tatsuji Nojima were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, on their work on Godzilla Minus One. All 610 of the film's visual effect shots were handled by a crew of 35 artists at Shirogumi's Chōfu studio, under the supervision of Yamazaki, and direction of Kiyoko Shibuya. Yamazaki himself had to go overtime and do the visual effects himself at certain occasion. The entire process spanned from April 2022 to May 2023. Thank you, Yamazaki. Thank you, Toho. And thank you, Godzilla.

This movie is so incredible, you can actually feel the amount of love and effort the whole team put into making the movie

[scottarooni]

This clip also proves that the film should have also been Oscar-nominated for Best Score. Fantastic!

The ocean chase scene looked so real. Such an amazing film.

After 38 films and 70 years of city-smashing, monster-fighting spectacle!! We finally got to see this film to earn an Academy Award Nomination for the first time ever!!! Well Deserved 🔥👏🏻

I've seen Godzilla Minus-One 3 times and after watching this visual effect breakdown, I have even more appreciation for the artistry and hard work that went into it. Loved, loved the movie.

Can't wait to see this for the 4th time, this flew being Minus Color. Favorite film all time

I didn’t realize how many visual effects shots were in this movie. What’s even more mind boggling is how it was made on such a shoestring budget.

[swagguy]

I love the visual effects of this film it shows passion and thought they put into this

[claytons]

I'm rooting for this film to win the Oscar for Visual Effects. It was incredible. You deserve it so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The hard work everyone in the making of it did really a really well done job. A great film for 70 years of Godzilla.

This film must win Best Visual Effects. Takashi Yamazaki and his team deserve it.

Can't wait to go on Monday and see this in "Minus Color". What a fantastic Homage to the 1954 original!

[donnovicki]

One of the great movies of all time. Truly spectacular and with an amazing story and characters. If you haven't seen it yet you are missing something special. Godzilla is The King of the Monsters and he shows it

[PrinceChaloner]

Should have been nominated for Best Picture!

[beforesmag]

Oh wow, this is amazing. Curious where it's from? Did Shirogumi post this?

[SVL]

Incredible movie experience. Blessed to see in it in IMAX theater! Cant wait to purchase

[worldofhunter]

This wasn’t shown in the video, but the close-up shot with the water mine in Godzilla’s mouth, I can’t tell if that's entirely CGI or an animatronic built for that close-up. That’s how good the VFX are in this film, much deserved Oscar Nomination 👏

[Ben_ten]

godzilla minus 1 is hands down the best godzilla movie even for a guy like me who just like to see big monsters fight.

[treykoyawena]

The effects in this movie were great im still not sure if the close up of Godzilla’s mouth was practical or cgi

[sonicshadow]

This movie is up for an Oscar
I hope it wins
