Motion Capture Technology

japanese CGI effects are a little behind the times so it wouldnt look that great,they dont put a whole lot of budget into the're movie's especialy considering they put out one GODZILLA movie a year to wich im hopeing they'll start doing again.

I wouldn't say Japanese CG effects are necessarily behind, but a lot of Japanese studios never allow a lot of time to polish their CG effects. But I've seen some incredible CG shots from the Ultraman movies and [i]Gamera 3[/i] had some amazing CG shots. I guess the difference is that Tsuburaya (company who produces Ultraman) specializes in only special effects movies/tv and the Gamera trilogy generally had a more talented team than the recent Godzilla movies. Toho has a policy that all movies must be done in a year's time and that kind of rush job is going to be reflected in their films-- especially special effects movies. Also, remember the Japanese film industry is only about a quarter the size of America's. I suspect manpower and demand would have to increase massively for things like motion capture to become the norm. That said, I don't think Toho is going to produce another Godzilla movie for a long time, if ever again. They tore down the massive pool used for water scenes ten years ago, the millennium series didn't do too well at the box office, [i]Final Wars[/i] was a huge flop and with their partnership at Legendary, they're clearly hoping that other studios will do the hard labor for them. Perhaps this will change one day, but there's no sign of them doing it in the near future.

Who was talking about the Japanese? lol. America's CGI effects are state of the art and America has the license so it could be used over here when making future Godzilla sequels.

well since in my opinion this is the actual first godzilla film in 10 years and since TOHO was involved with the production of this film and since everything had to be approved by TOHO first i believe this is their first actual godzilla film that will have probably even more CG SPECIAL EFFECTS TO THAN GAMERA 3 already has im still anxieous about this film can not wait for the full length trailer or any trailer to be released

@Goji62 True, he didn't specify if he was talking about the new American film or the Japanese series. I assumed he was talking about it based on the connection he made between suit acting and motion capture. Gfan84 seemed to assume the same thing, so I ran with it.

I was referring to any future Godzilla film. Thank you for all of the responses.
