is a term originally used in Japan for a ''tokusatsu'' technique to portray a ''daikaiju'' (giant monster) using a suit actor in a monster suit, often moving through scale model scenery to give the impression of large size, as well as filming them at a higher framerate, to make them appear slower. The term can be used when ''puppet'' does not apply, since the puppet is being worn by an actor, and when ''costume'' does not apply, since the costume is also being controlled by a puppeteer. The technique was initially developed by Eiji Tsuburaya for use in Godzilla films and then used for his Ultra Series productions. The following are considered suitmation: the creature costumes of some B-movies, notably ''An American Werewolf in London'', and the American television satire ''Dinosaurs''; the full-body costumes of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, in particular the pre-Creature Shop creations of ''The Dark Crystal'' and ''Labyrinth''; and also other creations of his such as Big Bird and Sweetums. The 2009 film ''Where the Wild Things Are'' uses a suitmation technique combined with computer-generated imagery to depict the Wild Things. ==See also== *Tokusatsu *Suit actor 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suitmation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
