The Truth About Godzilla Fan Films

So if the copyright laws on fanfilms are bad, how are they on fan comics?

Nice video bad choice of loud music, turn it down or choose soft music

Another great set of Godzilla fan films are from Lacronomos. They use stop motion with Kaiju figures from Neca, Sh Monsterarts, Revoltech, and many custom made. Their films are really good at telling a monster focused story

I can't wait for Godzilla to enter the public domain... If it ever happens at all.

One of the most popular ones is probably the Triangle vs Monkey series by Blunt Brothers Production. It's an animated story about Godzilla and Kong first fighting each other and then accidentally landing in other universes and being forced to fight the creatures and characters from those universes and the story slowly evolves from there. It's great fun with amazing humor.

Copyright is such a fucking childish system bro ☠but big companies cry like a little bitch about the smallest stuff, copyright related or not, and always will sadly

At the very least we have Godzilla Analog Horror, pretty decent analog horror at that so yay!

Legendary godzilla aint a toho its American so we might have a push back against toho

I remember when there was hype for the fan film: Godzilla zero hour. It would have been interesting to have seen it completed two decades back.

"Gojira ゴジラ - blender animation" by TAIYAKI probably looks closest to the original and does have amazing sound effects and for the whole film, it actually looks like it was made in the 50s and not in blender.

I've seen a few Shorts. I'm sure some of you know what I mean. As long as Toho is okay with it, No Harm, No Foul....but if Toho is against? Gotta Respect The Big "T"...

Id be cool if someone made a short film featuring the Stan Winston godzilla design

so what would LEGENDARY do then? its not TOHO, so if i were to make a fanfilm with what looks like the godzilla 2019 in it, would i be in trouble for it?

Now gonna make time to watch these films

"On the surface this just it looks like someone playing with action figures" and "Trust me when I say godzilla apex is a master in story telling" just reminds me of the legos vs bogos saga(o vogos no me acuerdo xd)

But does Japan know Bird Law?

I still love Trainsformers. Thomas the Train meshed with Transformers. The greatest thing evar.

Your Opinion Friend for GODZILLA

Their visual fanfiction

I love a well made fam film, but yes I do also recognize that IP owners have every right to enforce their rights to their properties. When people get mad that fan films get fan films get shut down also need to understand that the the IP owner has that right. It’s their creation and they invest a lot of money in those properties. That being said, I still like a well written and well made fan film

“RUN!! IT’S GODZILLA!!!”
“It looks like Godzilla. But due to international copyright laws. It’s not.”
“STILL WE SHOULD RUN LIKE IT IS GODZILLA!!”
“Though it isn’t. 😉”
“AHHH!!!”

What I don't understand is if Japanese copyright law is so strict, how the doujinshi market, literally an economy built around fan-created content, has thrived for so long.

There's a found footage fan film I saw that plays as a 1950 documentary, it's called living with monsters (Godzilla found footage)

Anyone remember Godzilla: Zero Hour? I bought a shirt to support that disaster.

go watch shin godzilla vs shin ultraman plzzz

They're ok with a billion dollar Hollywood company that has no any passion for their IPs destroying their character and making them cringe and not ok with people who actually passionate about them trying to make them great.

Thanks for the shout out man! We made a sequel to The Gryphon that I’d love to get your thoughts on called “Living with Monsters”.

Thanks again!

I wonder what Unknowingly will say about this?

If I made a Godzilla fan film I would give Toho my only copy on the condition Toho uses it as an inspiration to them to make more Godzilla films in the future.

Going on Two Years of making a Godzilla Series.. on season 2 at the moment, and haven’t been hit with any of that mentioned in your video… we are a tiny channel though so 🤷‍♂️.

I'm a BIG Fan of GODZILLA

I like the fan film Godzilla/Ultraman series so Godzilla Vs Ultraman 5 dawn of war. Or Dinomania lordverse or JimboCC Hakaishin Godzilla, Kong through the Hollow earth or Godzilla Brining Balance with a new fan Hedorah design.

Big studios can stay mad🖕🏾

NO MORE RULES.
I CAN BREAK ANYTHING

Who remembers Star Trek The Battle for Axanar. Loved it really good actors and top notch CGI with an engaging storyline. Then Paramount and Universal Crushed it in court. They(Paramount and Universal) had an opportunity to bring back the franchise from a lingering death brought on by reboots and woke political ideologies. Nope they just want to appease their WEF overlords and squeal like little piggies!

My favorite is Elvis versus Godzilla

If you wanted to make a godzila fan film you could just like call it king lizaed or something and make him green and call yhe etomic breath genery berps

My personal favorite fan films are Godzilla Wrath of The Hybrid, and Slick's Videos, like Godzilla vs Destroyah, and The Battle Royals.

Just a reminder that we haven't seen anguirus since 2004. If fans can use your ip better than you, you're doing something wrong.

i have seen a lot of lego godzilla videos . i hav built my own lego godzilla .

Good luck... A.I. says "Hello," lofl.

im making a fan flim rn called godzilla attack on tokyo

I did some of the cinematography on Godzilla Battle Royale (the crowd scene you showcase is my work, natch!). Billy poured his heart and soul into making that film with almost no prior experience in filmmaking and it's a testament to his creativity and imagination. Also much love for Kaiju Killer, that one actually came out in 2009!!

I also shoot and edit the short films made by Dojo Studios at GFEST and can attest to the complexities of filming amateur tokusatsu - further exacerbated by our limited time, scope, and resources available to us each year for production. Still, one of the questions we get asked every year is why we don't make Godzilla shorts, and our answer is two-fold. First, (to us) it's more fun to play around in a sandbox that doesn't have pre-conceived notions on what characters should look like, act, or think. We draw inspiration from Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, etc, mix and match it to our own liking, and create our own lore and mythology! Secondly (and most relevantly), we don't want to get in hot water with Toho.

Anyway, great video and keep it up!

Have you heard of the godzilla vs koopzilla fan films
A crossover where godzilla invades the super mario universe

Look up TAIYAKI and his Gojira Blender animation.. it’s beautiful

I'm a Godzilla fan and when my brother got me a Godzilla plush for my birthday I started putting him in my plush videos

I think fan films are legal

Great video Cole, and thanks for shouting out my work!
