Jeffrey Harris: In crafting this story, you have kaiju monsters and giant robots which were largely pioneered by Japanese movies and TV shows. Did you have any inspiration that specifically came to mind?

Travis Beacham: There wasn't anything really specific. I've sort of been ensconced in that whole subgenre. I've internalized so much of the trappings and the conventions of the genre that I think at the time I started putting the movie together – there wasn't a lot of thought about a specific reference. It just kind of came from those interests in those sort of things. I kind of like that genre.

Jeffrey Harris: Among the genre, do you have any personal favorites?

Travis Beacham: Oh yeah, definitely. I think as a kid, Voltron was definitely a favorite of mine. Then, I really like Big O. I like the Gunbuster and Diebuster series. I really like Evangelion and Escaflowne. I can think of so many. It's sort of like a personal kind of technology. It's really like my primal being in a weird way.

Jeffrey Harris: What was your reaction when you started seeing the more completed footage of the Jaegers fighting the Kaiju?

Travis Beacham: Yeah, the effects have been really eye popping and mind blowing to me. I think Jurassic Park was the movie that made me think really seriously about making movies in the future. And so to have ILM be the guys on this is just an extraordinary experience. The things that they're doing, just to my eyes, are incredibly impressive. I think they are some of the best creature effects if not the best creature effects that I have ever seen committed to film. It's really, really mind blowing stuff.

the two tectonic plates, Pacific and Eurasian, are pulled by mantle convection to collide with one another.
When the extremely large-scale electromagnetic wave caused by this resonates
with the complex number dimension that can be detected as a quantum existence,
the so-called "dimensional quake" phenomenon occurs, creating a single point of communal space,
from which there is a tremendous influx of energy.
And when this energy displays behavior like that of a life form, we call it a Heterodyne.
Now, having analyzed the remains of all the Heterodynes that have appeared thus far,
as you can see, we have ascertained that they are like "shells" created from terrestrial elements,
each with a different composition.
However, we have yet to gather enough data to even begin to guess the true nature of Heterodynes,
their characteristics, or the principle behind their actions. What we urgently need
is information and materials.
