The whimsical journey of a mysterious vending machine dwelling creature who explores the shadowy corners of Tokyo after dark.
Kaiju (怪獣 kai-jū) is a Japanese word that means "strange beast," but often translated in English as "monster".
Longtime friends Josh and Jon Baker {TWiN} asked us to head up the character design. A vinyl toy styled character, this little guy has the ability to illuminate his chest to help light his way through is adventures.
We'd love to connect with anybody who enjoyed the film, and encourage you to send our Little Kaiju out into the
big bad world.
The Project
The Making Of
The very talented Nick Losq pulled together a great ‘Making Of’ movie that highlights the process in making a project like this. Definitely worth a watch if this is something relatively new to you.
