Cinematography of Shin Godzilla
Shin Godzilla ( シン・ゴジラ) also known as Godzilla: Resurgence in some parts, is the most recent live action Godzilla film from Toho Studios. Directed by acclaimed anime director and creator of the Evangelion series, Hideaki Anno; and co-directed by Shinji Higuchi, who’s work includes directing the two recent Attack on Titan live action films. The film was released on July 29th in Japan and on October 11h in select territories outside of Japan. A monster film and political drama, the film reboots Godzilla’s origin story as if the iconic monster were to re-appear in modern Japan. The plot follows the various government departments of Japan and their attempts to suppress the Godzilla attack, bringing to life a more realistic view of Godzilla. It’s more or less a commentary on the Japanese government and Fukishima disaster. A tribute to its rich history, the film features various music pieces, actor cameos and roars from previous films in the Godzilla franchise.
The film is unique in that it has what I will call “Anno-isms.” It features quickly edited scenes, special effects, rarely any long takes, and use of various camera angles. The cinematographer for this film is Kosuke Yamada. He uses a plethora of cameras to achieve different viewpoints to make Godzilla seem quite larger than life.Let’s take a look at a few scenes form the film below:
====================================
IF YOU HAVEN’T YET, CHECK OUT THIS FILM. SPOILERS TO FOLLOW
====================================
What Lies Below Tokyo Bay
The first scene in the film depicts the various human main characters and sub characters meeting to discuss what appears to be a volcanic eruption in Tokyo Bay near Haneda Airport. From here, we see a lot of close up angles of various government cabinet members. They discuss whether the eruption in Tokyo Bay is either natural or unnatural. From here, we cut to various angles of Tokyo Bay, long shots, close ups and extreme close ups as a tail emerges from the ocean. It’s here that we really get a scale of what is to come.
Godzilla’s Triumphant Return
The beginning of this scene depicts Godzilla returning to mainland Japan via Sagami Bay, Kamakura. The REAL Godzilla theme from Akira Ifukube starts playing and immediately we get a look at Godzilla in all his glory. The colors in this scene are a mix of blues and greens for conference room scenes and warmer yellows and oranges for the outdoor scenes featuring Godzilla. This scene features more of a focus on the human characters as they attempt to suppress Godzilla from advancing into Tokyo proper. The camera cuts between extreme close ups of humans and long shots of Godzilla. That’s what I love about the cinematography in this scene the most. It gives scale to Godzilla and shows just how immense he is standing at 118.5 meters tall.
Tokyo On Fire
Shortly after the previously mentioned scene, Godzilla is setting Tokyo ablaze with its new found atomic breath powers. It suddenly becomes dormant and frozen due to internal nuclear cooling. This scene features some beautiful night shots that are a blend of special effects and practical effects. Parts of Tokyo shown in this scene feature a digital version of Tokyo being destroyed. What I love about this scene are that the blacks are black and the blues are blues.

The Best Malasadas in Hawaii
Ever since I was a kid, my parents took me to Hawaii. I remember waking up one summer morning in the hotel room of the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani with my brother and parents. My brother and I (for some reason) desperately wanted donuts and my parents stepped out promptly to pick some up. When they returned, they were holding a pink box with blue cursive writing on it. “Leonard’s donuts!” I exclaimed, unaware. We opened the box and inside were what looked like donuts but contained no hole in the middle. “Just try it” my mom urged. I reluctantly bit into it. It was the sugariest, fluffiest, warmest most heartwarming non-donut I ever had in my life. “What is this?” I asked my parents. My dad responded, “It’s a malasada. From Leanoard’s. Best place in Oahu to get them.” That phrase stuck with me ever since. And so every time I head back to Oahu, I always have to stop by Leonard’s at least once.
This past April, my girlfriend and I decided to take a quick vacation to Hawaii. She’s never been and I wanted to show her Waikiki. The pictures featured in this article have all been taken from that trip. The first place I took her to was Leonard’s Bakery. We just had to have a malasada. We Ubered there from our AirBnb. Our Uber driver was an expat from the UK who fell in love with Hawaii after his first visit. Just imagine the cockiest, snobbiest British accent when reading this quote from him, “Let’s see here... you’re going to Leonard’s?! This early in the mornin’? HAHAHAHA Why there? It’s too early?! You’re kidding me! No but seriously, Leonard’s is great!! hahahahaha.” Not sure why he laughed and scoffed at us so much. I love malasadas and Leonard’s is THE place to go. The place has looked the same ever since the 50s and I’m glad to see it still has that classic look.
What is a Malasada?
A malasada is a Portugese donut without a hole Originating on the Madeira Islands in Portugal, malasadas were made to prepare for Lent on Shrove Tuesday. They originally were made from the leftover lard and sugar in Catholic homes. It wasn’t until 1878 when Portuguese laborers from Madeira and Azores came to Hawaii that malasadas became a staple in Hawaiian culture. Light, fluffy, covered in sugar and sometimes filled with pinapple, mango, guava, malasadas have become a huge part of Hawaiian culture.
Leonard’s Bakery
Leonard’s Bakery story according to their website:
“In June 1882 the British sailing ship ‘Monarch' brought Arsenio and Amelia DoRego from San Miguel Island, Portugal to Maui, Hawai'i under contract to work the sugar cane fields. Some 33 years later, their grandson Leonard was born. In 1946 Leonard and his wife Margaret moved to Honolulu with their daughter Diane, age 8. Leonard worked at Snowflake Bakery until he founded Leonard's Bakery℠ in 1952.Leonard and Margaret were no strangers to hard work, both coming from very large families. The bakery prospered. Not long after opening, Leonard's mother suggested making malasadas for Shrove Tuesday – a Portuguese tradition. Although thinking it may be too ethnic, Leonard's bakers complied. Malasadas were a huge hit. And, the appetite for malasadas in Hawaii was born.“
If you’re ever in the Hawaii area, check out Leonard’s bakery on Kapahulu Avenue.

Jeremy’s Travel Gear 2017
My recent trip to Japan brought a lot of challenges when it came to video and photography. I brought my trust t3i with me and wanted to get a lot out of it. Above is a photo of my travel gear which I shot The Sounds of Kansai and my vlog series with. Why do I shoot with Canon? I prefer their lens lineup, their camera prices and their color profiles. Not to mention, their autofocus is king when compared to other camera brands.
Canon EOS Rebel t3i
Known as the 600D in some places, the t3i is a Rebel series camera which boasts an 18 megapixel sensor. That may seem like less than what the current camera lineup boasts, but it’s never about the body. Lenses are what make these bodies shine. See below for my lens lineup. I bought this camera back in 2013 and immediately fell in love with it. This camera helped me fall in love with cinematography and my passion.
Canon 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6
I actually bought this lens in Japan. I went to Yodobashi camera and picked this up. I couldn’t resist. If you follow this channel, you know I do a little vlogging and having an ultra wide lens really helps keeps things in focus. Highly recommend since its lightweight and super sharp!
Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
My kit lens. The lens that has been my bread and butter for the longest time. While not the sharpest tool in the shed, this little guy has been the most hardworking lens in my lineup.
Canon 24mm f/2.8
Released in December 1988, I actually picked up this lens from Fujiya Camera in Nakano Broadway in Tokyo for about $180USD. This has been the most used prime lens in my lineup for the longest time. It’s light, portable and provides that crisp and clean f/2.8 f-stop to give you some beautiful bokeh. The new version comes with IS (Image Stabilization) but I can’t give up my little lens just yet.
Sigma 24mm f/1.4
The biggest, heaviest and most expensive lens in my lineup, this beast has provided me with very clear and focused shots throughout my trip. At f/1.4, this is the fastest lens I have. It gives me 6 whole stops apart from my other Canon lens. I highly recommend Canon if you’re looking for cheaper alternatives to their more expensive Canon counterparts.
Audio-Technica AT8024 Stereo/Mono Camera-Mount Microphone
I picked this mic up recently for this trip. It was first used in the Honolulu Vlog and every video after. It has been nothing but a pleasure to use this mic. I highly recommend this to any filmmaker as this is a MUST have. It can switch between both Stereo and Mono modes. Compared to the RODE counterparts, the Audio Technica mic uses a single AA battery to power it for 46 hours straight. If that’s not enough to convince you, then that’s it!
Check out The Sounds of Kansai below which was shot with the t3i, Sigma 24mm lens, 10-18mm, 18-55mm and recorded with the Audio Technica AT8024 mic.
