Never understood why people believed the Khara2 Twitter account was run by Anno himself. That’s almost an impossibility. It’s very rare for professional filmmakers of his age (approaching 60) to bother with social media & the ones who do are usually much younger &/or do so through their own personal Twitter/Social media accounts. The Khara 2 Twitter account is clearly the “friendly-let-fans-in-behind-the-scenes” social media account in contrast to their more traditional official Khara account.

It’s probably Anno’s assistant or who oversees the account. Someone whose job is to always be present to help Anno with whatever requests he may have at any given moment - whether that be bringing up storyboards for a specific scene on a laptop, writing down notes or just getting the man a coffee - but who also needs to be invisible and quiet when meetings and the like are going on. I’ve done the job of a Director’s Assistant before, it’s a thankless job with long hours of inactivity between bouts of serious work and it would be the perfect job to run an on the ground social media account from.

The Khara Prime accounts is probably where trailers, posters and major announcements will still come from first but the Khara2 account is where you’ll get glimpses of what they’re doing and what might be coming next. They’re clearly far enough along in production that they’re confident enough to tell the world they’re doing some kind of work in the editing room on the film. That’s a big deal.

Man oh man, more teasing(?) about that tracking shot with the lights. "New (shin) anime photographing"



I'm starting to wonder if it's something that will be part of an eventual trailer, or simply a visual effect within the film proper? Hmm.

Edit: One of the Japanese replies pointed out that its similar (the same?) effect for the Studio Khara logo.

Whatever it ends up being - most likely used as reference for a digital effect in the final film - I’m loving the film school like playing around & experimenting that is going on at Khara!

So, is that an indication they're just starting to put the movie together?

I believe Joseki is making the same association I made last week, that the light effect may have something to do with that mysterious glowing object seen within Guf, which we will surely see more of in the final film.

On the camera it kinda looks like an Angel's eye blasts or a cross explosion like when the Vessel of the Adams died.

Not necessarily. A movie like this isn't made in sequential order.
Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

Well, it is almost inevitable that there will be a fifth impact in Final, or even multiple impacts.

Or the flashes on the eye catches/opening title of the original anime.

I don't know if the previous Rebuilds had live-action shot effects, but if this is new, it might just be stuff Anno learned doing Shin Godzilla, and implementing it in Eva.
That film continues to be a blessing.

And honestly if the teased "Final Impact" happens, I expect all kinds of weirdness. I think this is just an introduction.

I also wonder if it will be distinguishable that this is "real" light in the film.

Weirdness is a too harmless word for something like a Impact.

It' ll be sick and cruel, especially when Asuka and Kats hate Shinji till this very moment and realise too late that it was all wrong.

Their suffering and failure 'll be put big on display.

It’s weird that Anno is photographing live-action lights for an animated project, right? Like, that seems to me to be one of the most easily made effects in all of animation. I can’t think of anything that would necessitate any live action sources like that.

I wonder what he has up his sleeve. I can’t wait to find out!

Live action photography is used as reference material for animation all the time.
Even simple lighting effects.

Which means that when we see actual movie footage we will actually explode.

I thought it was TMBounty_Hunter that theorized post-3.0, that FINAL having live action elements incorporated would be pretty likely? It'll be exciting to see if those hunches are true :D
