Roadside Encounter with Godzilla -- Fan Animation

Support me here to help me survive in this economy: ko-fi.com/vrahno
This clip was going to be featured in the 2nd part of • Video but it became so long that I decided to upload it as a separate video instead, similar to • You Interrupt Godzilla...
One idea for this animation was to attempt to portray how unsettling it would be to come across a giant monster in a mundane manner and how it could lead to a horrible death. The horror-angle didn't quite work though, because Godzilla would probably not care about attacking a single non-threatening human individual. Therefor I added a surprise guest monster to make Godzilla more active, and because so many comments have been asking for more monster fights. First I wanted to use one of the monsters from the 1978 or 1998 cartoon shows, but I ended up picking an unused preliminary transforming Heisei Mechagodzilla design because it was easier to model, had more varied attack methods, and it was fun to animate it transforming. This design was based on a sketch by Ryu Hariken, I stylized it a bit and shrunk it down to 50 meters. There are several transforming MG concept designs, I chose this one because it was the simplest and most of its details would be hidden by darkness, the environment and dust anyway.
I apologize for the darkness and the rendering artifacts present in the video. The idea was to have a moody night scene with deep shadows and a variety of light effects where the POV human character can't make out all the details of what's going on around him. Some of the effects worked, others are a little rough.

So not only did we get a full on battle and comedy but a ending showcase this a 100/10

[@pbjam9355]

That mechagodzilla design was pretty nuts! Awesome animation as always!

[@SpacklerStudios]

Looks like it's based on the Noriyoshi Ohrai design from the Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2 poster

[@Multiversal2010]

I’m pretty shure it was the old design from godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2

[@alphaprime1000]

The Noriyoshi design only consisted of three components

[@elijahzilla619]

@@SpacklerStudios Yeah it’s based on Mechagodzilla two and a poster version

[@TitanosaurusFan75]

​@@SpacklerStudios No, it says from the description that its "Hurricane" Ryu Hariken's Transforming Mechagodzilla design. Ohrai Noriyoshi didn't even create the design that was used on his poster. He immortalized it, But that's it.

[@chadgorosaurus4898]

Gojira is either gonna be insanely goofy or insanely serious in this animation.

[@Thermo_alt]

It’s probably both

[@carnage0685]

it was the latter

[@daikaijuzilla]

The sheer sense of scale in this is so insane, I love it! The reveal of both weapons becoming Mechagodzilla was so clever too! Adore how animalistic you made Godzilla act and move, wonderful job as always!

[@andrewcrowley6331]

The start where he turns so quickly towards the POV guy is genuinely terrifying.

[@PhantomRaider100]

The design for Mecha Godzilla is unique, I won't lie. I'm kinda liking these POV vids.

[@iforgor8271]

I think it’s based on one of the concept designs for mg for a poster for the heisei era for Godzilla vs MG II

[@DingusEnjoyer]

I know it IS the heisei mechagodzilla from the poster for mg vs godzilla in the heisei era..

To be honest, just gotta love how vrahno is starting to up his animating projects, it’s starting to feel more like a movie scene.

[@raptorrusso12spinosaurus]

Everything was beautiful; the fight, the pov, the new mecha design, that ending, and the showcase. Especially that new mecha design. Beautiful mini fight.

[@minecraftwizzard2010]

Godzilla spared him because he wasn’t worth it and then he decided to waste it by activating mechagodzilla

[@mwizachihana9551]

Actually, he was firing his thermal nuclear breath at the Mechagodzilla head when he saw its eyes glowing. Doubt he would waste his power on one... tiny... human

[@nicholascazmay2126]

Fantastic work! I love how you used that unused MechaG design, one of my favorite looks for the character too

[@mwilliamspulse]

[@kydex8764]

WHAT A GODDAMN AMAZING MECHAGODZILLA DESIGN! And the classical godzilla design, with the subtle characterization, is another masterpiece as usual!

[@KSmitty905]

Loved the ending long shot with the glowing eyes. Really added to the tense action/horror atmosphere.

[@theDABTAB]

Awesome video! I do enjoy your parodies a lot, but I just have a softspot for the more serious takes on the characters, even with horror elements or just straight up brawls. Keep up the good work! It's always such a delight to see a new video from you :D

[@justzillathekingofgames6867]

Wow this was just pure bliss. Awesome fight, animation everything. That MG looks so freaking cool. It's like if you fused Showa, MG2, and poster MG2 into one awesome mecha. It also reminds of that Showa Mecha Ghidorah concept looks wise. Well done my dude

[@romancirigliano1210]

The messy and chunky movement that you gave to mechagoji really adds him a lot of personality, it's the perfect mix between cartoony and realistic machinery.

[@readingking1421]

Holy crap this is amazing! I love this version of Mechagodzilla and the POV shorts of people running into Godzilla are probably my favorite Godzilla fan content right now. Have you considered doing any with other monsters, maybe Mothra or something?

[@Vrahno]

Other monsters could make guest appearances but the main idea was to have Godzilla be the source of the POV kills.

[@ryanroscoe673]

Really cool to see so much influence from the Ohrai/Nishikawa 1993 Mechagodzilla! Great animation.

[@JOHNKESSLER88]

I love the way he just grabs Mechagodzilla's top half trying to get away.

He shouldn't have stopped running. Quite well done, loved it.

[@Skeletor0007]

your works just gets better and better in every new video dude, awesome mechagoji concept and design.

[@HaloCG]

I love how you based your MechaG model after an old concept design. I guess It may not seem too significant, but it really like how an old discarded character design can be realized in motion through awesome fan-made works like this.

[@Gojirawars03]

Can officially confirm, that Mechagodzilla transformation was the coolest fucking thing I have ever seen on this channel. And that’s REALLY saying something.

[@Crazy_Rabbids]

2:15 Little did he know that Godzilla can sense other Kaijus/Titans around the globe.

[@mrbombastic982]

This is a different godzilla version, just because Legendary goji has the ability to sense other kaiju's doesn't mean every other godzilla has the same ability.

[@KingOfTheMonsters07]

@@mrbombastic982 Didn't Godzilla sense something going wrong in Godzilla vs. Gigan even though he and Anguirus were on Monster Island during that time? The threats being Gigan and King Ghidorah.

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

​@@mrbombastic982 godzilla most of the time has that ability, it's just that the MV actually makes the effort to point that out as a ability he has. In every other godzilla movie period, whenever a monster wakes or a alien comes to earth godzilla suddenly appears to fight them implying he does sense something wrong with the planet.

This animation.. is just amazing,incredible, I love the mechagodzilla design and his two forms,I love all of it and how creative you are with it, you should make a storyline of your own monster verse or something,this is just amazing tbh

[@feathero3]

Good thing he woke Godzilla up with that bottle, or that surprise attack might have been fatal. REALLY love the jet and tank transforming parts concept for Mechagodzilla!

[@ans1605]

Love the use of the original Godzilla design in a more modern era. Also a cool design choice with making the mecha Godzilla wings transform into its tail. Not sure if it was a reference or not but the burnt mecha Godzilla head looked like the actual Godzilla head like how the Kiryu Mecha Godzilla was made from the skeletal remains of the original Godzilla. Great work!

[@fatalisblack7213]

[@chadderbug7587]

I love the reimagining of the OG poster design where MechaG was supposed to be a combiner of sorts. It looked a little odd in the animation but hey. I did love the part where Goji just bonked the top half with the legs

This just made me realise how cool the original Gojira design still is and how under-utilised it is.

I appreciate that the Mechagodzilla design here took inspiration from the original concepts for the Heisei version (which were ultimately used for Moguera).

Here I was, thinking Godzilla was gonna be the menace, but Human is out here committing public intoxication and Super MG just chose violence today.

i wish the next godzilla movies will have comparable actions sequence to this clip, it felt natural and threatning from the guy perspective, even before getting blasted in a matter of secs.
