The Evolution of Godzilla's Effects Over Years
One of the fan projects using specific effects to make their interpretations of the King of the Monsters unique is TAIYAKI's Godzilla Fan Film developed in Blender. The same is true of the real movie series, which first brought its renowned kaiju to life with just practical effects. This includes having people in suits fight inside scale model cities or landscapes, so representing the monsters in the film series. Later films maintained the man in the suit as part of the production process while also including digital effects.
But Godzilla Minus One, Japan's most recent movie in the series, used a lot of computer-generated imagery for its rendition of the beast and the devastation he wrecks all around the nation. Given the kinds of effects used, this brings the newest film closer to TAIYAKI's short film than it does the older ones. It also suggests that the future of the franchise will probably rely more on more recent VFX technologies to realize its stories.
Godzilla 1954 Fan Film Recreation Totally Tricks VFX Artists: "Just Ruined My Credibility"
A Fan Film of Godzilla 1954 fools VFX artists, who then treat it as though it were from the original film before learning otherwise. Over the past 70 years, several incarnations of Godzilla have been shown with 33 Japanese films and 5 American movies depicting the kaiju being created thus far. But the legendary monster's popularity has also resulted in fan creations inspired by the King of the Monsters including YouTube series and short films.
Under their VFX React initiative, Corridor Crew has lately responded to a Godzilla 1954 fan film without knowing it was a fan-made production until after they started their research. Starting about 13:00, Jordan claims the clip comes from the original film before Niko and Wren start their investigation. Then he shocks them by revealing to them the full clip they just watched was animated by Blender's TAIYAKI channel. See some of their comments to the clip following their knowledge of the truth below:
Missed Out on a Few Great Team-Ups in the Form of Scrapped Films That Never Made It to Screen: The Many Monsters of the Godzilla Franchise
A few amazing team-ups in the form of deleted films never seen on screen have been lost to the several Godzilla monsters. Even suggested was a team-up between Godzilla and King Kong. The idea of these partnerships still exists even if their outcome is yet undetermined. Consequently, some cinema buffs might find the events leading to the cancellation of the film interesting.
There are still many chances in the Godzilla series to unite the two fabled creatures. Godzilla vs. Kong's recent premiere was a successful crossover effort, hence it's not unlikely that it will resurfaced.

Examining the Bridge: How to Approach It
Jordan: Almost entirely in Blender, this was posted three weeks ago to YouTube.
Niko: Oh, you're kidding me? [aughs] Dude, you just destroyed my confidence on Visual Effects Artists React.
Wren: I was really certain that was produced eighty years ago.
Jordan presented every single keyframe [for a stop-motion sequence] one picture at a time, one post per picture. He essentially performed in 3D instead of matching the strategy you would employ in the actual world. And the outcomes speak for themselves; they hold up very, rather nicely. Go to the part on bridges as, of all the things I observed, this was the most exacting method. He approached every issue not using any simulated techniques. Actually, though, he created a bone structure into the bridge and animated the bones as you would a character's arm. He twisted the bridge across time and animated the termination of an IK chain. He is thus simply animating like basic, simple, character bones instead of worrying about a simulation where you are deforming metal, which is really extremely difficult. Hand-animated to fall and land even is the large chunk that falls from the middle of the bridge.
Godzilla is the monarch of the monsters!
Japanese kaiju film Godzilla, King of the Monsters chronicles the tale of an American journalist who sees the devastation wrought by Godzilla, a monster awakened by Pacific nuclear testing. A disastrous clash results from Godzilla's attempt to stop by the Japanese government and military as it approaches Tokyo.
The franchise has lasted for several years even though the first film came out in 1954. Given the still-relevant story of the movie, it is hardly shocking that the franchise will keep flourishing. Given the franchise's considerable popularity, it is sure to draw a large audience.
Godzilla Minus One, the last movie Godzilla produced, can be seen on Netflix.
