Weta Workshop has just released a new behind-the-scenes video featuring never before seen footage of the incredible year-long process of designing and crafting “<a href="https://toysrevil.blogspot.sg/search/label/Ghost%20In%20The%20Shell" target="_blank"><u>Ghost in the Shell</u></a>” for the silver screen.<blockquote><i>"Involving every department at the Workshop, from Design Studio to Animatronics to Costume and beyond, Weta Workshop worked side by side with director Rupert Sanders and his team to conceptualise Masamune Shirow's seminal property for a live action setting. <br />
<br />
Ground-breaking silicone suits. Full 3D printed endo skeletons. Animatronic geisha heads with interior working mechanisms. This was a project of immense complexity, that we were hugely proud to be a part of."</i> (<a href="http://www.wetaworkshop.com" target="_blank">www.wetaworkshop.com</a>)</blockquote><center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqn0OTX7QNOogylHRQVWTBraG_Sqoi-exzARcX0N7wqHjG7MUxRwhuRtm4DlAgVtzHdBjgXEzYw4_eb6Wzryl_2N7nbXO28U8wY1NJguYibp8aiyOYzIFukNgXpqFbyJMuSGpABVt71iWz/s1600/GHOST+IN+THE+SHELL+WETA+WORKSHOP+Concept+Art+01.png" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqn0OTX7QNOogylHRQVWTBraG_Sqoi-exzARcX0N7wqHjG7MUxRwhuRtm4DlAgVtzHdBjgXEzYw4_eb6Wzryl_2N7nbXO28U8wY1NJguYibp8aiyOYzIFukNgXpqFbyJMuSGpABVt71iWz/s640/GHOST+IN+THE+SHELL+WETA+WORKSHOP+Concept+Art+01.png" width="527" height="640" data-original-width="889" data-original-height="1080" /></a></center><br />
I like the visual of (the late) David Bowie as “Kuze” in the BTS … and while I cannot say the film was that bad, neither could I bring myself to review it, even til now … perhaps one day I could find the appropriate words to justify my impressions of everyone’s efforts in creating the film, and the depth of history <a href="http://ghostintheshellfan.blogspot.sg" target="_blank"><u>behind the anime to justify the film</u></a>.<br />

Taylor Swift’s latest music video for “<b>…Ready For It?</b>” sees the singer adopting/appropriating the design of The Major’s “Thermoptic Suit”, along with a general character designs of the cyber-punk-ish denizens/mech-heads that populate the MV.<br />

I will be breaking some of the key imagery down here through out the ongoing months. With this city concept design I wanted to really capture the madness of the city but also retain some of the building texture and silhouette so things would still read. One of the comments I continue to see in critique of these larger than life hologram/sologram concepts is that they would be to large to even make out what they are if you where on the street and I totally agree but the key here that they are missing is that this concept is based on your own personal perspective. It's real time Alternate reality formed with virtual reality blurring the lines between what is real. So if you are on the street, your perspective of what you see would shift to you and your personal point of view. The city would basically be tailor made to you and your vantage point making it incredibly enveloping. A big inspiration for the colors on this one came from a film called Enter the Void. This piece is now a few years old dating back to 2015 but I still remember building it clearly and the enjoyment of taking a rough sketch of ideas in my book to final completion.

He expressed his desire to paint the city with neon lights in a new form that he coined as “Solograms”, which are solid holograms. It is something in the realm of a particle system of light that can be moved and augmented in Z space. I loved the idea and instantly got to work building out concepts and ideas. Below you will see a mix of various style frames, concepts, and final production assets that made it into the film. These concepts then went into post production where Chris Bjerre and I animated and created an asset library for Rupert to paint his city with."</i></blockquote><center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="7" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"><div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"><div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"></div></div><p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BSS5sE5BKFa/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">hello world #ghostintheshell #scarlettjohansson @ashthorp</a></p><p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A post shared by rupert sanders (@rupertmsanders) on <time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2017-03-31T08:11:46+00:00">Mar 31, 2017 at 1:11am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><script async defer src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><br />

Okay, so this was what I tweeted after coming out of the earliest morning screening of GHOST IN THE SHELL <a href="https://ghostintheshellfan.blogspot.sg/search/label/GITS%20Film" target="_blank"><u>feature film</u></a>, via <a href="https://twitter.com/toysrevil" target="_blank"><u>twitter.com/toysrevil</u></a>: <i>”Go into #GhostInTheShell not expecting a direct copy of the 1995 anime, & you'll have a fine time being surprised w/ nods sprinkled all over.<br />
<br />
While longtime fans might argue more could be packed into #GhostInTheShell film, as a general release it already is dense enough, IMO.<br />
<br />
For folks still angling for the #whitewashing controversy in #GhostInTheShell, the issue of identity is addressed & I like it...<br />
<br />
...in light of identity issue addressed, #ScarletJohansson does extremely well in #GhostInTheShell & I wouldn't want anyone else. <br />
Do not miss #GhostInTheShell if you have the chance. I am now glad I have 2 GITS in my life = the #Animes and this film :) <br />
Sat in the credits, listening to the iconic #GhostInTheShell theme, and held back tears of joy, i sh*t you not. GOOD WATCH. Enjoy, people!”</i><br />
<br />
… and while this is just a positive gist of my impressions, more of which will (hopefully) happen by the weekend, its tons of spoilers LOL<br />
<br />
Not necessarily “the best”, but it certainly entertained me, and I am glad I caught it in the cinema hall.<br />

Hong Kong’s MILK Magazine had invited 6 x HK illustrators for a round of “Art Jam” with the upcoming live action GHOST IN THE SHELL feature film as the theme, with Scarlet Johansson's "The Major" as the focus for the interpretation in their art!<br />
<br />
The result is a nifty video to gawk at (Click thru to view), where each artist relates their impressions and connections to the manga/anime, and as well explain their art (In Cantonese language with no English subtitles, I’m afraid), and of course, glorious #fanart!<br />
<br />

A splendid behind-the-scenes featurette touring the Major’s Apartment, describing what you might not necessarily know more about the function of the space in the upcoming GHOST IN THE SHELL feature film, including a look at her “walk-in” weapons and “mecha-parts”! And that <i>“door leads out to Hong Kong”?</i> #NICE<br />

Mamoru Oshii visits #GhostInTheShell set and puts his "Stamp of Approval" for the casting of Scarlett Johansson ... remembering his visit on-set circa June 2016 (see image below) ... and this is not the first time he is on-video speaking about this too, with a <a href="https://ghostintheshellfan.blogspot.sg/2016/11/ghost-in-shell-featurette-mamoru-oshii.html" target="_blank"><u>video featurette</u></a> released circa November 2016, I reckon tis time to reinforce the notion of "The Master's Approval" before the film's premiere on March 31st in the USA, and March 30th in Singapore.<br />

A new track from the OST of GHOST IN THE SHELL has been released, featuring the electronica sounds of Johnny Jewel with “The Hacker”.

<br />
First time I’m hearing a narrator/voiceover for this film (for me, at least) … Folks might forget that, as much as fans of the O.G. anime or manga are both familiar with the story and as well have opinions, there are perhaps legion of folks "out there" who might have zero memories or impressions of GITS, and might need some help in understanding the reasons why folks should to plonk down cash for tickets and popcorn, come Premiere Day, besides recognising actress “Scarlett Johansson”, innit? :)<br />
<br />
There is no need to wonder "WHY" Johansson was cast, in lieu of a "Japanese actress", the reasons are pretty clear cut, if you want them to be :)TOYSREVILhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03872736377423548421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271716829443653262.post-272340382247957952017-03-25T06:40:00.000+08:002017-03-25T06:40:15.545+08:00“Deep Dive” Clip for GHOST IN THE SHELL<center><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IgKGww6sGaI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br />

With the GHOST IN THE SHELL <a href="http://toysrevil.blogspot.sg/search/label/Ghost%20In%20The%20Shell" target="_blank"><u>live action feature film</u></a> premiering March 31st, a couple of clips have since been unleashed online - including <strike>the movie’s “First 5 Minutes”</strike> "Building Jump Extended" (above), and the “Water Fight” (featured below).<br />
<br />
As much as it looked interesting for the above video (not wholly groundbreaking, but expectations are high and I will not apologise for this LOL), the Water Fight instead rubs me a tad uncomfortable, in the use of what looks to be excessive force, on a combatant that does to seem that violent (versus the 1995 anime for which this sequence replicates). “Sign of the Times”, perhaps?<br />

The English musician also has a role in the GITS, seen as one of the “monks” in orange/yellow robes! Hope it is a speaking role too tho :)<br />

In this video above (and in other interview promos), actress <b>Scarlet Johansson</b> (who stars as “The Major”) extolls Mr Sanders as a “Visionary” - <i>*a term I take quite an issue with personally</i> … I would claim “Masamune Shirow” as a “Visionary” when he created GITS, but would reserve judgement for when after seeing the entire GITS Film, thanks :)TOYSREVILhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03872736377423548421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271716829443653262.post-29343915214826274152017-03-21T14:56:00.001+08:002017-03-21T14:57:25.433+08:00"Creating The Shell" Featurette for #GhostintheShell<center><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PGqJDZv8XTI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br />

ZBrush's was used for its sculpting tools, Moi3D was used for its CAD modeling tools and Softimage's for its SUBD tools to get the final result. I'm very grateful to the director for the trust he had in me during the project. It was one of those rare opportunities where I actually received plenty of time to first carefully design the entire mechanical skeleton in 3D and then cover it with cyber-muscles and later with synthetic skin panels. Huge thanks to Weta Workshop for making this into a real life size prop and to all the fellow concept designers and VFX artists involved in the project! Can't wait to see it on the big screen in 2 weeks!

Meet “Section 9” in this behind-the-scenes look at the making of #GhostInTheShell (premieres March 31, 2017 in the USA), which includes soundbite of “Batou”, and a Singaporean shout-out to actor <b>Chin Han</b> for his role as “Togusa”!<br />
<br />
It is not particularly spelt out who or which jurisdiction “Section 9” reports to, although the group tactical-wear unit is reminiscent of the anime movies’, rather than the pre-unit grouping in the recent ARISE anime films, as it should be … and suddenly imagine a “live action prequel” happening to this possible franchise” further down the line lol<br />
<br />
<center><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/toysrevil2/33423095531/in/dateposted-public/" title="SECTION9 Chin Han"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3757/33423095531_6d2924eeda_z.jpg" width="640" height="640" alt="SECTION9 Chin Han"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center><blockquote>MANGA VERSION: <i>”<b>Public Security Section 9</b> (Japanese: 公安9課 Hepburn: Kōan Kyūka?) is a fictional intelligence department from Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell manga and anime series. In the story, its jurisdiction exists under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In some translations, the name is given as Public Safety Section 9. In the original film, it is known as the Shell Squad or Security Police Section 9.<br />
<br />
The Section-9 spec-ops team is composed of former military officers and police detectives. Its operatives are trained in various methods ranging from criminal investigation and cyberwarfare to counter-terrorism and special operations, as their structure was based on the German GSG-9. They had cross-training exercises in the past with the British SAS's 22nd Regiment."</i> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Security_Section_9" target="_blank">Wiki</a>)</blockquote><center><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/toysrevil2/33423101921/in/dateposted-public/" title="SECTION9 BTS"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2851/33423101921_b5884020f7_z.jpg" width="640" height="397" alt="SECTION9 BTS"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center><blockquote>FILM PREMISE: <i>"In the near future, Major (Scarlett Johansson) is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world’s most dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people’s minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen. She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to her and stop them before they do it to others. Based on the internationally acclaimed Japanese Manga, “The Ghost in the Shell.”"</i></blockquote>Source: <a href="http://www.superherohype.com/news/393023-meet-section-9-in-a-new-ghost-in-the-shell-featurette#/slide/1" target="_blank">superherohype.com</a><br />

A featurette after my own heart: Get a behind-the-scenes look at “The Art of the Film” for <a href="" target="_blank"><u>GHOST IN THE SHELL</u></a> (which premieres March 31st in the USA), featuring a look at some of the designs involved, and a look at Pre-Vis (which I would not have categorised under “Art Dept”, but still…).<br />
<br />
And if you are interested, I have been featuring (and hopefully continue to) “Making Of” posts <a href="https://ghostintheshellfan.blogspot.sg/search/label/Making%20Of" target="_blank"><u>HERE</u> on the #ghostintheshellfan blog</a>, based on behind-the-scenes snaps from the director Rupert Sander’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rupertmsanders/" target="_blank">Instagram <u>@rupertmsanders</u></a> - which you can scroll down for select hawks, followed by a select credit roll listing of the Art Department for GITS :)<br />

As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen.

Earlier in the weekend, Paramount Pictures <a href="https://ghostintheshellfan.blogspot.sg/2017/03/ghostintheshell-iammajor-viral-promo.html" target="_blank"><u>started a #IAmMajor viral campaign</u></a> utilising a “meme generator” to help promote <a href="https://ghostintheshellfan.blogspot.sg/search/label/GITS%20Film" target="_blank"><u>live-action feature film</u></a> for GHOST IN THE SHELL. And while I was “hoping” cosplayers and the like would take to the notion and shed a it of “light” and fun over the current negativity surround the film, but alas, the opposite has since over-taken the campaign, and flooded Twitter with a variety of said negativity, most of which are focused on the “whitewashing” controversy that has plagued the film, from Day One.<br />
<br />
I’ve tried to include a couple of “positives”, but I had to dig, alas :p ... and the LAST tweet/meme hit hard tho (I am <a href="http://akira-movie.blogspot.sg" target="_blank"><u>a fan of AKIRA the anime</u></a> and could not agree more LOL).<br />

A number of websites has since reported on this situation, while I’d held out waiting for su choice gems, which frankly, was a few and far in between.<br />
<br />
WHY do I choose to post this up, on the night of the film’s Tokyo premiere? No other reason than any later would be jostling with the actual reviews of the film (compared to the 15minuter IMAX “preview” presented a week or so back).<br />
<br />
Scroll down to gawk, chuckle or grimace, and check out your own on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23IAmMajor&src=tyah" target="_blank"><u>hashtag “#IAmMajor”</u></a> …<br />
Also, do not mistaken it for the same hashtag (“#IAMMAJOR”) from musician”MAJOR”, who had just released his debut EP this week.<br />
