*For the hardcore Sentai and MMPR fans that have been emailing me for months about uploading more footage: Here ya go! Another loooong and quiet low res video....

This is from the original videos I was given daily. My orders were to take this footage and the script and create action scenes that would lead up to the point where the Power Rangers were ready to use their Zords.

All of this came from the original Japanese show footage. There really wasn't anything new created called "Zyu 2" for this. We would simply use what we could to save money and time.

I would shoot the outdoor acting scenes and Putty fights with the actors and stunt team. If there were some monster shots from Japan I could use, then we'd edit that in. It would end with me making our monster of the episode grow large and then it would be all Japan footage for the Zord battle (except for the interior shots of the Zords). That was the pattern. Five days a week from sun up till sun down. ;)

You can compare the original MMPR shows with this and see the parts that were not used for one reason or another - usually having to do with the script, or censors, or running time.

It was a fun challenge to make this series and I learned a lot about being efficient and utilizing every moment of the day on set. I'm glad I got to do it. Enjoy the original Japanese Sentai footage.
