Godzilla

Gareth Edwards approached and wanted to create a custom studio logo for the 2014 reboot of Godzilla, which quickly expanded to the opening credits, and interior submarine Scene 97 of the film. The challenge faced with the Main Title sequence was to tease out the mythology of the Godzilla monster in primitive civilizations and suggest a conspiracy and cover up is being perpetuated by subversive government agencies. Through the use of archival military footage, classified documents, newspaper headlines, hand drawn cave paintings, cartographic illustrations and glimpses of Godzilla, this builds a suspenseful sequence grounded in reality. The credits sequence was created in stereo and names are left behind as portions of text are redacted. Expanding on moments of the main title, through archival footage, VFX, and footage from the film to flesh out the history of Godzilla from past to present.
