'Godzilla Minus One' Used 610 VFX Shots to Animate the Iconic Monster
variety.com: The special effects team behind “Godzilla Minus One‘s” jaw-dropping final battle wanted the spectacle to be a “religious” experience. The climax of that vitally important sequence in the Oscar-nominated monster movie involves the total destruction of the titular titan.

I unfortunately still haven’t seen Godzilla Minus One, though I’d love to go if I get a chance sometime, and I’ve heard so many great things about it. Reading now about the number of visual effects in the film is insane, I can’t even imagine how long that must’ve took! But from the clip I saw it seems to have payed off. VFX is so out of my realm of understanding in some ways, and super amazing what they can do in terms of animating living things, like godzilla. It reminds me of the 2016 The Legend of Tarzan movie, where I remember watching the behind the scenes and my mom was in the other room but asked later “so did they use animal trainers?” referring to the massive amount of wildlife that Skarsgard interacts with, including lions - but in fact every animal in the film was completely CGI and looked so incredibly real. When using CGI to create animals or other creatures, the results can be really cool, and it’s so awesome to see what they did for Godzilla Minus One.
