For those who don't know, one of my hobbies is editing together music videos, particularly ones celebrating the various Godzilla and other Toho characters. My latest one (first in nearly a year for one reason or another) is for Sanda & Gaira, the gargantua brothers from War of the Gargantuas. For those unfamiliar with Kaiju … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciation: Sanda & Gaira
Kaiju
Kaiju Appreciations; Kamacuras
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiHqBcKPYmY One of my hobbies is making music videos out of songs and film clips (though between one thing or another it's been a long time since I've actually completed one). In particular, I've been working my way through a series of tribute or 'appreciation' videos for the various Toho Kaiju ever since my college … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Kamacuras
Kaiju Appreciations; Ebirah
It's been a long time since I've put one of these together (over a year, in fact...that's dispiriting), mostly due to trouble finding the right songs and generally being busy. But I happened to hit upon the right one, so Ebirah is up at last! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M53AhvKa1sc&feature=youtu.be
New Appreciation Video Up!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoiMd6pQ1qQ Yeah, it's for perhaps the lamest kaiju character in the whole series, but it had to be done.
New Appreciation Video Up
For those just joining us, one of my hobbies is video editing, and for several years I've been slowly making a series of music video tributes to each of the Godzilla and Gamera kaiju. Just finished and uploaded my latest, for Barugon: Gamera's first foe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uquy94-7EE
Kaiju Appreciations; Hedorah (commentary)
So, my next Kaiju Appreciation turned out to be Hedorah, the Smog Monster. It's a little surprising, since Hedorah is one of those characters that I tend to forget about, despite his comparative popularity. Probably because he's only really in one movie, and it's one of the worst of the series (his only other appearance … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Hedorah (commentary)
Kaiju Appreciations; Iris (Commentary)
Wow, that footage is grainy. And dig the 'Unregistered Hypercam' notice in the upper left. My very first appreciation actually features someone from the Gamera series. I like Gamera, though he doesn't grab me as much as Godzilla. Hailing from Gamera III: Revenge of Iris, the third film in the brilliant Gamera trilogy from the nineties, Iris … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Iris (Commentary)
Kaiju Appreciations Commentary
I'm a massive Godzilla fan. I'd call myself a fan of a lot of different things, but by far the one that is closest to my heart is Godzilla. As a matter of fact, Godzilla was what got me interested in film. I started out loving the Godzilla series, and that led me to look … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations Commentary
