Road to Gojira Episode 1: Willis O'Brien and his early creations
In the first episode of "Road to Gojira," I go over the early days of film and talk about one of the pioneers in bringing Giants to life in the world of cinema, Willes O'Brien.
Notes
This episode was more of a documentary than me discussing the early works of Willes O'Brien, as I felt it was the more interesting approach as there is only so much I can say about the shorts he started off making before doing featurelength films. In the next episode with the lost world, I will definitely be giving my own thoughts on the film while sprinkling in historical notes here and there.
