We are building the robots life size. Matt is one of the last great practical effects guys in the business who can pull this off. We will bring you to the set and give you first shot at seeing them. If you want, we can have you put out those first images of what the finished versions look like. The teaser we have now is CG for the robot. It is to give the fans a taste of the design we are going with, but it is not a true reveal given what we are going to be doing when we build the thing. The real deal is going to be mind blowing of course.

>I asked why - in a kind of rhetorical manner. I mean - I certainly know why I'd want to build real Giant robots... it's because I feel it is the destiny of mankind to build Giant Robots. I feel it in my bones. When I played with these toys as a kid - when those of us that did play with them. That was the dream. I loved having the full size SHOGUN TOYS and had them fight my giant GODZILLA toy and RODAN toy - as the Star Wars, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Clash of the Titans figures all cowered in abject fear.

>They had their own reasons. It is for perspective, for light, for shadow and textures. It is so they can have the actors interact... stand on the shoulder, upon the open palm of the robot. For dust, grime and even some practical effects upon the body of it. Ultimately... don't question anyone that's willing to build actual size giant robots. It needs to be done. Right? RIGHT!

>unlike Michael Bay - these guys are genuinely obsessive with the source material - the grander genre of Anime itself.
HAHA, FUCK YOUR CG ON THE WAY OUT, GEROGE LUCKADICK AND BAYSUCKER! WE WILL GET HUMUNGUS ROBOTS NAO.
