"Eiji Tsuburaya was a very reserved man on the set. Most of the direction he gave me for the performance was, 'I trust you to do it. Do what you feel is best, I'll leave it up to you.' And that's the way he was for most of the films we worked on together after Godzilla.
After the wires broke on the Rodan suit, causing me to fall several meters onto the miniature set, he chided, 'It's good that you didn't die; because I need you to finish the film.' And I replied, 'That's easy for you to say, I'm the one inside the costume.' But, these things would sometimes happen. —HARUO NAKAJIMA "When I moved to America to start filming Godzilla, this was one of the few books I brought with me. Eiji is a true inspiration, and a one of a kind innovator of special effects, the likes of which we'll probably never see again in cinema." —GARETH EDWARDS |
