The man who literally brought my dreams to life.
SFX director Eiji Tsuburaya was the Ray Harryhausen of Japan and pioneered in tokusatsu filmmaking (a Japanese live-action film/show featuring special effects). His all-time greatest creation will always be the king of the monsters, Godzilla. Here he is on set of "Invasion of Astro-Monster" in 1965. His accomplishments in the Godzilla movies were so important to my life, so I want to pay tribute to him and his works on his birthday. Today is his 114th birthday and I know if he were still alive today, he would still be pioneering in the kaiju effects genre. You were a visionary and your work has been a landmark in cinema history.
Wishing you a very happy birthday, wherever you may be.
