Godaizer Animated Short. (Full Length 19 min version.) from hilscreate on Vimeo.
Hillary Yeo is a Singapore-based special effects artist, and concept designer Ray Toh is also based out of Singapore.
The objective to make this short is really simple. I wanted to make a animation about the giant robots and monsters from my childhood and memories of living in a kampong (village) with my grandfather and many cousins.
Obviously I hope to have some awesome fights between an giant robot and monster. While at the same time have a story that can be related to those early memories.
Main influence for this is the old giant movies and the old box covers of model kits and toys as well as the old shophouses and wide open spaces that I remembered.
Nothing too deep or complicated. Hope simply just to entertain without feeling having their intelligence insulted and that people feel its worth spending 19 mins of their lives watching it.
