It was in charge of the prototype, Yuji's guru Sakai Godzilla modeling. Then, using that figure, is also a big topic that all involved were Koichi Kawakita supervise the special effects of the VS series Godzilla took a promotional movie.
To commemorate the release this time, by dividing the talk of the two of you to twice, you Itadako enjoy plenty.

■ encounter from "Yamato Takeru"

── First, please let us know from the two of you met.

KawakitaThat, I think it's time certainly of "Yamato Takeru".

SakaiYeah, Well, it is 1994.
One day, you get the phone from sudden Kawakita director. It is, it was a come request of consideration for the stationery of Yamata no Orochi to appear in the movie.

KawakitaYeah, it was likely it was so.

SakaiSo I asked, "Is it forever?", What the "I want tomorrow." (Laughs).

KawakitaSo, actually the next day, it's brought me to the staff room during shooting (laughs).
I was bought mess deca Unlike template until now, it's a sense of volume and overall form of Yamata no Orochi was grasp on it.
Sakai's modeling of the fine detail is But of course that I, the do is to especially take care of the entire form, and handed down a dynamic feel, was really good. Design me, if there is really a limit even if considered in the 2D drawn on paper, it's such that there is a new discovery that the cause in three-dimensional.
In that sense, I had the hope was Kai.

SakaiThank you.

KawakitaAt that time, "Yamato Takeru" and prepare had been promoted at the same time of "Godzilla VS Space Godzilla". When such is, because people is not enough, it's was a good opportunity for Sakai.

■ work of memories, "Godzilla VS Destoroyah"

── In "Godzilla VS Destoroyah", as the modeling staff, Sakai also it has been participating in the movie.

Sakai"Yamato Takeru" and later, "Come, I want! Participated in the shooting," I have continued to interact with Toho video art's I had to approach in the hot I think. Soshitara, also one day all of a sudden, have gotten a phone call from, who Tomomi Kobayashi had been the modeling of Godzilla "tomorrow, can come either?" (Laughs).

I had you in after two days indeed, but now to take care of off clothes of Godzilla suit from the first day in the shooting of a large pool.

After that, it was I am allowed to participate in the shaping of land for Godzilla. As much as possible, to me just because to be the work of modeling.

Modeling of Godzilla junior suits and 1/2 size model has also been. Godzilla Junior suit, it was let me also do an array of dorsal fin. Kawakita I remember that had you check in supervision.

KawakitaAt that time, I because Godzilla was very even modeling there be light.
I think I was saved also shaping part.

SakaiIn the shooting, there was also that it was angry to Kawakita supervision. But I had to take care of the suit with Godzilla, when the production begins, I had left in the camera's frame.
So, I am offended me, "I'm doing anything!".

KawakitaDo Did there such a thing (laughs). Godzilla of at that time, and also contains gimmick of illumination and carbon dioxide gas, it's was the hardest. Gimmick of the code is not extending the Zura' from the tail, was a very just judge the code.

SakaiWhen shooting from the right, hiding the code on the left side of the tail of all Godzilla. I think I was shot while changing the position of the code every time the cut is changed.

KawakitaYes Yes. Satsuma was in the Godzilla (KenHachiro) san, I to had suffered a lack of oxygen sucking gas.

SakaiBut, the raw force that took a hard time doing so, I think you come out on the screen. At that time, while becoming completely black, I had been doing hard work in front of the eye. But, I think I was happy, because I always touch up close the suit of Godzilla. Really, it was a good experience.
