On August 27, I attended another event with special guest Sadao Iizuka, the veteran optical effects specialist who worked on numerous Toho and Tsuburaya Productions series during the 1950s and '60s. This event focused on Iizuka-san's contributions to The War of the Gargantuas (1966), as he animated the Maser beams and lightning effects.


It was a relaxed afternoon with several likeminded fans. It was a very enlightening talk for sure!


That's all for now. See you next time!
