My Map of Bikini Atoll used in the Movie Godzilla – 1-Second of Movie Fame.

Bikini Atoll RM

My 1-second of movie fame!  Back in April/May, 2014, I got a call from a fellow representing Warner Bros Pictures.  He asked if they could use my Bikini Atoll map in their upcoming movie, Godzilla.  I said, “Sure, but it is going to cost you.”  Just prior to the movie’s release, I was interviewed by a local newspaper columnist, Diane Bell.  All of my students were pumped that their goofy teacher had a map in a movie.

As I said at the beginning of this post, 1-second is all that my map was on screen.  Now that the movie is on television, I had my wife pause the movie so we could admire the map.  Instead of a color version, they put the map into a grey news article, which was pasted on the apartment wall of Brian Cranston’s character.  The map flashed by and I smiled.  How cool is that!

Enjoy!
