Development
A casting call looking for extras to appear in a Takashi Yamazaki-directed commercial for a "major food manufacturer" was posted by the Tochigi Prefectural Film Commission on December 7, 2023.[6] Said manufacturer was revealed to be Ajinomoto on March 5, 2024, when the company tweeted a clip which showed the commercial's starring monster Foodlosslla and gave a March 14 release date.[7] Two more videos, posted on March 6 and 7, showed further shots of Foodlosslla.[8][9]
Production
As of the aforementioned casting call, shooting was scheduled to begin on December 27, 2023.[6] All of the outdoor portions were shot at Ashikaga Scramble City Studio in Ashikaga, Tochigi, Japan.[10]
Director Takashi Yamazaki personally created the Rescue Food Loss Special Investigation Team's equipment, including their guns and belts, using supplies from the hardware store.[3][11] For the scene where Foodlosslla sheds pieces of itself on fleeing civilians, prop food items were dumped on the actors. Similarly, a reporter drenched in Foodlossla's tears was really splashed with water.[10] The commercial's visual effects were advertised as being created by the same team as Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus One;[6] as is standard for his films, Yamazaki served as his own VFX supervisor and the effects were produced by Shirogumi.[3][11]
