What is “Godzilla VS Giganrex” anyway? It is a sequel to the short film “Gvs.G” (2019) which won the “GEMSTONE” audition project jointly operated by Toho and AlphaBoat. Its existence was revealed in February. “Gvs.G” is a summary format that looks like a movie trailer. The battle between Godzilla and the monster Gigan, which will turn 50 in 2022, is expressed using VFX. It grabbed a lot of attention with its overwhelming quality that you wouldn’t expect from an audition entry. Takuya Uenishi, who directed “Gvs.G” in 2019, is in charge of character modeling supervisor and CG director for the movie “Shin Ultraman” released in 2022, three years later. “Godzilla Festival 2022”, where the main video for “Godzilla VS Gigan Rex” will be broadcast, will be held on November 3 at Tokyo International Forum seats A to D (online distribution with fixed-point cameras is also planned) .

Works by members of the CG UNDEFINED production group

By the way, during the first audition of “GEMSTONE”, which triggered the birth of “Godzilla VS Gigan Rex”, there were works other than Takuya Uenishi’s “Gvs.G” which won awards. One of them, “Fiction”, is a work of the artist/director 3DCG nagafujiriku, born in 1999, whose vision of the world is impressive in terms of cyberpunk and post-apocalypse. In a devastated city, characters in protective gear face off against a giant Godzilla looming before them. By the way, Mr. nagafujiriku is a member of UNDEFINED, a group of CG artists gathered through SNS, and is still active on the front line.
