With no military intervention or government help in sight, the survivors must join together in the face of despair and fight back against an unrelenting horror.\n\nFrom renowned dir ector, screenwriter & VFX visionary Takashi Yamazaki (The Eternal Zero, S tand By Me Doraemon) comes GODZILLA MINUS ONE, a film about the power of h ome in the face of despair.\n\nThe film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Ham abe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, and Kuran osuke Sasaki, with music by Naoki Sato.\n\n[Accomplishments]\n\n- The best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards, marking the first time an Asia n film has received.\n- Godzilla Minus One is the highest grossing Japanes e Film in US Box Office History.\n\n[Innovations]\n\nWhile there are only 610 VFX shots, they account for two-thirds of the total runtime.\n\nTo mai ntain photorealistic expression while reducing the workload, we filmed man y scenes in parking lots with road conditions similar to the era, utilizin g the shadows and effects of people and objects.\n\nIn this production, ab out 35 core members were responsible for the creation, but there were only 5 dedicated FX artists. The rest of the staff consisted of generalists wh o handled multiple roles.\n\nNot only the VFX team but also the filming st aff share the final image.\n\nOne of the reasons why such optimization of VFX is possible is that the director himself creates storyboards, holds me etings with many staff members, and the scene construction staff directly creates pre-visualizations and then returns to the storyboard. By repeatin g this process for over two months, we achieve significant results.\n\nReg istration Category: Enhanced Access, Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\ nLanguage Format: English Language URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=caf_526&sess=sess170 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
