Godzilla Minus One caused local unrest with the monster’s roar

The idea worked: “The echo and the way the sound reflected gave the feeling of a huge creature roaring in a wide open environment,” Yamazaki told A Frame, revealing that the team captured the roar directly recorded as it roared over the stadium speakers. “That was fun and very interesting. It showed the size and scale of Godzilla,” he added. Despite the fact that the stadium was empty, the crew still received complaints about noise pollution, according to the filmmaker. “After that, we started getting a lot of complaints from neighbors who lived near the ballpark saying, ‘There’s a huge monster roaring near my house!'” the filmmaker explained.

Sound designer, Foley artist and re-recording mixer Natsuko Inoue also described the stadium experience in a Japanese-language media post Real sound. “I felt my job was to reproduce the voice of the national treasure invoked in 1954 with the current sound system,” Inoue told the outlet (her quotes here have been translated). “I did various things to keep my voice intact. In the end, I realized it didn’t have enough response.” The sound designer realized this would be the perfect opportunity to take an approach she’d been wanting to try for some time: recording outside in a large open-air space and integrated the feedback into the sound.
