Why You Should Visit
This touring exhibition traces how director Takashi Yamazaki's team made Godzilla Minus One and its follow-up, Godzilla Minus Zero, and comes to the 7th-floor exhibition space at Daimaru Umeda. On show are scripts, storyboards, design drawings and VFX production materials, props from the films such as the Godzilla wood fragment and Godzilla tissue fragment, and international posters. The route follows the films from concept through shooting and visual effects to completion, and includes a Godzilla Minus Zero statue more than 2 metres tall. A good fit for anyone who has seen the films and wants to see how they were built.
