Watch Hillary Yeo's Giant Robo Short GODAIZER!

It was about a year ago this month the world was introduced to Hillary Yeo's animated giant robot short GODAIZER trailer. The film was the Signapore film makers homage to the brilliant giant robot (or meccha) anime's from the 1970's early 1980's which happen to be my favourite Japanese animations. Now a year on the film has done it's yearly run of the festival circuit and yeo has made the film available in it's full glory online to enjoy as well as the unique blend of CGI animation and Illustration style

The objective to make this short is really simple. I wanted to make a animation about the giant robots and monsters from my childhood and memories of living in a kampong (village) with my grandfather and many cousins.
Obviously I hope to have some awesome fights between an giant robot and monster. While at the same time have a story that can be related to those early memories.
Main influence for this is the old giant movies and the old box covers of model kits and toys as well as the old shophouses and wide open spaces that I remembered.
Nothing too deep or complicated. Hope simply just to entertain without feeling having their intelligence insulted and that people feel its worth spending 19 mins of their lives watching it.
