Now this is what I call amazing!
I highly recommend everyone to take a look at this video by Kyle Gilmore, as it truly does the impossible...it actually makes the "Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters" series into something worthwhile.
The magic here comes from the "motion comic" medium Kyle is able to successfully implement. Such a feature essentially brings the comic to life through the use of sophisticated tracking, sound effects and music.
For those not in the know, a "motion comic" is the actual comic itself (same panels, artwork and everything) but it incorporates outside factors to help make it "alive". Besides the aforementioned items, this also includes manipulating the images themselves to have characters' arms, eyes, legs also move.
This was done with great success with "Watchmen the Motion Comic", which I personally own and highly recommend everyone else to grab a copy too, and this is the same effect that Kyle is trying to obtain here.
Well it works marvelously, and my hats off to this guy for taking the time and effort to truly take a dull, sophomoric comic like "Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters" and turn it into something very cinematic.
I am certainly going to enjoy watching his work, and will post the rest here as they come along, and encourage everyone to take a look at his profile by clicking on the "YouTube" tab within his video. This is one talented fellow.
Who knew all it took was some careful editing and sound effects to make this series into a great one.
