It's really nice to see this man finally getting credit for his work, He worked an absolutely brutal schedule AND didn't get credit till recently. That's like a nightmare.
Love that not only is it the same guy working on shin ultraman, but the fact that the same technique is used in tandem with modern cg just shows classic techniques are still not only a viable effect, but can all be done properly today
Now THIS is what I call a high quality video! The editing is spectacular, the research is Fantastic, and the writing is immaculate! Keep doing what you're doing man, you have a HUGE potential!
The optical effects animation work of Ultraman, Godzilla, and all of old school Tokusatsu to be honest, has always been a fascinating subject to me. So to have at least one English language video tackling part of the subject is a delight. Thanks for the video, Matt, and I definitely want to see more like it.
I'd love to see more deep-dives into the history of old school film techniques and the pioneers who changed how sci fi movies were made. This was a great video, loved the research and the focus on the people behind the camera, we don't see enough of that in Kaiju-related videos.
That was an incredible video! As a fan and admirer of the Tokusatsu art form, I was pleasantly surprised by the information shared here, and I feel more love for Ultraman-and the genre as a whole-than ever. Moreover, let’s always remember the unsung heroes that had a hand in literally shaping some of our fondest memories growing up. Excellent job, Matt! I’d love to see more.
I just want to say that this is the coolest fucking thing they could have done for Shin Ultraman, and I'm so happy that Shin Ultraman is doing this in the first place.
I have been a fan of Ultraman since the 1970's when I came home from school to watch the English dubbed version while doing homework. However this is the first time I learned about Mr. Sadao Iizuka and his contributions. His work was one of the things that made my childhood a joy, and thank you for telling this story.
Absolutely! It's about time people started talking about Ultraman more. It's a treasure trove of Toku goodies! I would love to see a video that talks city modeling or even spaceship models used by the various attack teams throughout the Ultra franchise. That might be a good start!
I feel the tokusatsu genre as a whole is one where you can see the most love poured. They didn´t have to make tha spacium beam the way they did, they could have go with a more modern locking effect, but instead, they gave an old classic a revamp look, they brought back the same techniques, the same person who make it and simply improve upon it by using modern cgi. They aren´t just taking a concept and building something different out of it, they took the concept of what Ultraman man is, modernized it without losing the meaning behind said character. There´s so much love put into this films by the people behind them that I can´t help but clap and shed a small happy tear at there dedication.
Seems shin ultraman is huge success now, really hope the movie will be released in my country. That old + modern touch in shin ultraman trailer is godly
Such an amazing video, and I wish I knew about Sadao Iizuka earlier than this, considering his contributions to the many Tokusatsu franchises we know and love. I am extremely hyped for this movie.
Without the success of the two Tokusatsu otaku, Japanese conservative sponsors would not have paid for a hero movie made for adults. The habit of watching this kind of movie low has suppressed the imagination and talent of those who are supposed to be creators.I also look forward to future success
Yes I do and also I want to know what that one called you that looks like shin Godzilla with a bench tail and a horn stuck up on his head on top of his head
I would say yes do more I’m not the biggest Ultraman fan I got into it due to my love of masked rider and Power Rangers or super sentai and my love of Eva and Godzilla
Incredibly informative and very moving. I really enjoyed this a lot :) Would love to see you touch on the monsters that will be in the film and their origins and updated looks :)
@@godzillaisbetterthenyou9762 Work pretty much and life. Any time I am away from work is spent helping family and friends out. And what little time I can spare from there is writing, reading, and watching monster flicks. With the economy the way it is, it's hard to turn down money and hours. Better to build a nestegg up when you can then not have it at all :/
Thought you were gonna mention the religious influence behind the pose, but analyzing the man behind the effect is great because I had no idea of him. Continue the Ultra stuff!!!
@@MONSTROSITIES.Tokusatsu Yes of course ❗ I,m japanese. But, I wish that this movie is diffussed on the world❗ Wonderful story, and wonderful pictures❗
As my name would suggest, I may be a little biased but I think Shin Ultraman will skyrocket interest in Toku fans and I think that there will be A LOT more people craving information on the Hero of Light. Think of the Power Rangers in recent times. When trailers for the 2017 movie came out, a lot of older fans came out of the woodwork because Power Rangers was back in the public mind.
Very Awesome upload, so please continue with more videos, about the Ultraman Series!!! It is entertaining and educational for all of the young and old dedicated Ultraman Fans!!! Especially, in regards to the Tsuburaya Staff responsibilities, as a crew and artistic design department!!! Awesome!!!
A friend of mine introduced me to Ultraman a few years ago, and I'm a big fan now. The Specium Ray is one of the most iconic moves of Ultraman this Specium beam of Shin Ultraman can even Rival Shin Godzilla's Automic beam. I'm still Curious about Shin Ultraman doesn't have a color timer on his chest but I still love the original design so I don't mind, LETS GO SHIN ULTRAMAN!! I want to see the giant of light on the big screen again
As stated the design was based on the original art concept art of Ultraman. The color timer was a last minute addition (as well as scrapping the idea of an animatronic mouth as it didn't move naturally and you can see the rough coverup in early episodes, aptly named the Type A mask) as to not make Ultraman too overpowered and as a visual indicator to the audience. For all intents and purposes, Shin Ultraman is a back to basics going as far back as the concept design. At this point I believe Ultraman is burned enough into Japanese pop culture that audiences will know the 3 minute rule where they can just make the note in exposition. My speculation is that to stay true to the original concept art they made the brave assumption that the core demographic (japan) are familiar enough with Ultraman that they felt confident enough to omit the color timer.
@@thetokucorner6770 I get your points. But Ultraman even if the color timer was a last minute add on, it was a last minute add on and was part of Shin Ultraman since forever. Ultraman as we know is not of this planet and he needed the color timer....because he could not measure his energy depletion on earth.... unless he had the devise to let him know that he is running low sort of speak. Anyway, fair enough. I am not happy about it...one opinion....back to basics.....but will see. As far as the Type A...then B and C designs... looking back I am more of a fan of the type C...but I liked the type B also. The other item on the new concept....was the little holes on the bottom of eyes that gave fans that familiar look but was required so the person inside the rubber suit can see out. Newer Ultra, Tiga, etc.... suits improved on this. But the original had this distinct characteristic. On the new concept I think this looks strange without those just for familiarity.... but I am old fashion. Overall they did a good job. Its the original almost. Okay....good points. We love Shin Ultraman no matter what.
This..is awesome! I remember the first time I saw the Spacium Beam..it was back in the 90's and I had rented an Ultraman video game for the SNES, Ultraman: Towards the Future. I had never seen Ultraman before, though I was VERY familiar with ToHo's Godzilla thanks to my father, when I would go stay with him for a weekend we would often rent videos and my dad is the one who introduced me to Kaiju films with the very first Godzilla, been a fan ever since. The VERY first show of 'Ultraman" I ever saw was the US version of "Gridman" "Superhuman Samurai Saiber Squad", it's only recently that I've started seeing Ultraman DVDs start popping up in places like my local Walmart to buy.
TH-cam just suggested your channel and not a minute on this video, you have a new sub on me. Really love the details and the spacium beam is something I've never thought to ask who created it. Really greay video. Hope you could do more videos on Ultraman and his brothers. 👍
I hope you make also henshin related effect in ultraman, I really like that effect of him transforming with red flash background at the back, that scene really is nostalgic thing for me back in the days.
Rest in peace, Iizuka-san…. and may your legacy never be forgotten.
RIP Sadao Lizuka he’s incredible work in godzilla, ultraman man and many other projects will always been remembered and he’s legacy will live on.
I'm just getting into Ultraman. Really enjoying the videos.
as someone who only grew up with JUST Godzilla and Gammera Ultraman is a new frontier for me! i'd love to see more on the subject!
pls make more videos like this, this is high quality editing right here
It's really nice to see this man finally getting credit for his work, He worked an absolutely brutal schedule AND didn't get credit till recently. That's like a nightmare.

That is very impressive that he's still working in the business to this day, truly inspiring
Eiji is pronounced like "A.G." This is a really great video!
I just want to say that this is the coolest fucking thing they could have done for Shin Ultraman, and I'm so happy that Shin Ultraman is doing this in the first place.
海外にもウルトラマンの良さを理解している人たちが多くいるんですね。
円谷さんの偉大な功績が現代まで引き継がれます、シンウルトラマンの公開が楽しみ。
He did great work then, I am looking forward to seeing Shin Ultraman finally.
Ultraman without color-timer is like Iron Man without arc reactor.

Thank you for this video Matt. Absolutely fantastic. I've always been fascinated by the optical effects from this time period. Seriously. Well done.
The work will speak for itself. Great to see his work finally get the official recognition.
i love to see more of a fan theory on your part of what if Ultraman was in the Monsterverse
No way. We don't need a big obnoxious dumb Hollywood Ultraman. Leave it to Japan.
Yes more of this it's fantastic
Can't wait to see this. Cab ride?
This man deserves a lot more credit people should know his name
Seems shin ultraman is huge success now, really hope the movie will be released in my country. That old + modern touch in shin ultraman trailer is godly
Excellent video Matt! I'm not too familiar with Ultraman so this was a great history lesson! I'd definitely love to see more work on him
This is crazy, i didn't knee the history of the Spacium Beam, this is so awesome
This is the most Watch Mojo style Ultraman video I've ever seen but it's good stuff
What Shin means. Because they are
Shin Godzilla
Shin Ultraman
Shin Kamen rider
Izuka's an AMAZINF animator, father of kousen
That was fascinating.Please continue. 🙂
Thank you. Please do more. Ultraman is my favorite superhero series.
Mister Iizuka is a treasure, period.

Such an amazing video, and I wish I knew about Sadao Iizuka earlier than this, considering his contributions to the many Tokusatsu franchises we know and love. I am extremely hyped for this movie.
Excellent video. Great editing, pacing, and very informative! Fantastic work! Subbed!
Very insightful video, i am an Ultraman big fan, grew up watching it in the 70s and 80s
I hope this movie appears on the Ultraman TH-cam Channel.
Without the success of the two Tokusatsu otaku, Japanese conservative sponsors would not have paid for a hero movie made for adults. The habit of watching this kind of movie low has suppressed the imagination and talent of those who are supposed to be creators.I also look forward to future success
Interesting. I always wonder how they were make the rays ...
Takeshi Kitano makes a fool of this kind of craftsmanship
Yes, please. Some in depth on the decision to remove the color timer I would be interested in
Ultraman with Hanuman The White Monkey.
I'd love to see more of these deep dives on tokusatsu business.
NO CONTACK PHONE NUMBER ??????????????????
Very informative video. Looking forward to Shin Ultraman. Hopefully there's a limited release stateside this year.
i always wondered the reason behind the naming of the beam like zeperion or strium.
Will he have a warning light ? Just curious.
Incredible video, really great work, perfectly structured too 👏🏻
and than the netflux mate the ironman oout of ultraman.
Yes I do and also I want to know what that one called you that looks like shin Godzilla with a bench tail and a horn stuck up on his head on top of his head
I'm so exited to see this is FINALLY coming out!!! Remember watching this when I was a kid!
I think ive seen the trailer since 2010..
Please do more videos about this subject! I hope this movie gets even a limited Stateside release, I'd love to see it.
Mind if I propose Shin Gamera?
I can't wait to see Ultraman. In cinema at my area.
why more ultraman please
He is truly amazing
Shin yeah I want to see more
I would say yes do more I’m not the biggest Ultraman fan I got into it due to my love of masked rider and Power Rangers or super sentai and my love of Eva and Godzilla
the director of this and SHIN GODZILLA is also doing a SHIN KAMEN RIDER too.
This is beautiful...
Incredibly informative and very moving. I really enjoyed this a lot :) Would love to see you touch on the monsters that will be in the film and their origins and updated looks :)

Great piece!

Excellent! Did you enjoy it?
@@MONSTROSITIES.Tokusatsu
Yes of course ❗
I,m japanese. But,
I wish that this movie is diffussed on the world❗
Wonderful story, and wonderful pictures❗
YESSSS More Shin Ultraman, or just Ultraman period LOL P.S. Nice job Matt
I learned something today about special effects for Godzilla & Ultraman. Thank You Sir.
Fantastic
We know nothing about Shin Ultraman’s plot because it will turn out it’s connected to Shin Godzilla 😏
As my name would suggest, I may be a little biased but I think Shin Ultraman will skyrocket interest in Toku fans and I think that there will be A LOT more people craving information on the Hero of Light.
