An Evening with a Legendary Tokusatsu Cinematographer!

Tonight, I spent an fun evening with tokusatsu cameraman Keiichi Sakurai. Sakurai-san's career in special effects photography goes back to the 1970s with Zone Fighter (1973), but he's best known for his tokusatsu cinematography on Shin Godzilla (2016). The event was part of a tribute for the late tokusatsu director Teruyoshi Nakano, of whom Sakurai-san has many fond memories. I met Sakurai-san for the first time in April, and he couldn't have been nicer. Here's a sample of what happened earlier tonight. Enjoy!
