I think it's because he knows first-hand the talent and effort required to make those models and props... combined with the fact that he has nothing to prove.
6:25 It actually makes perfect sense that this ribcage is decorated in such a handcrafted way. I mean if people will pay high prices to have the interior of their luxury watches' decorated why not do so with your robots or body augmentations!
Thats what makes the fun for me to watch Adam build anything, he's just totally into it :D If you don't mind a recommendation, check out ILikeToMakeStuff. He's a maker too ^^ But don't expect another Adam Savage, that would not be fair...
+Adiran St. Fort +ciberpagano reategui Both of you have an absolutely insufferable atittude, get yourself together. Ciber either accept that wether you like the movie or not, this is high level craftsmanship displayed in this video, so don't diminish it through your ignorance. Also, cut out that racist bullshit, we are not living in the middle ages anymore, even if you would probably like it. Adrian don't just insult people, either approach them in the way you want to be approached or stay silent. Just because someone else behaves like shit doesn't justify you behaving the same way. Agression from you brings out agression from the other side.
The Producers and Directors of the movie really missed the metaphor and failed to capture me phase and magic of the original, but still is a relatively good movie compared to hollywood nowdays...
Sadly, I'm not super hyped for this movie, despite being a huge fan of the original film. I feel that part of GITS strength comes from its Eastern cinematography, like very spare usage of slow motion, use of long takes in action, etc (see John Wick if you want a good example). Most Western films, however, use fast cuts, abuse slow motion, and focuses more on spectacle than substance in set pieces.
eLyUKayEe even the fight scenes are not edited properly compared to Asian movies. Jackie Chan talked about it few times. How western movies are unable to properly show a simple punch.
really, I feel it'll just be an dumb action movie with nothing to say. I also dread how horrible their version of the major will be. GitS was about practical and somewhat believable advances in technology and how that would effect society, relationships and individuality. It also had a fully realized alternate Geo-political situation that had real effects on the story. GitS was always so smart. I'm doubting this will even be a goodish movie, comparing it to the original or even one of the series... it'll look like a joke.
There's no movie that could've been made that would've pleased fans of the original. I think it's going to be an awesome and visually stunning sci fi flick. I can't wait. But I understand how you GITS fans feel... I was right there when they released The Last Airbender film.
Yeah, I think that's a pretty good mindset. It's quite likely going to be an entertaining film on it's own, but the problem is that it's definitely not going to capture much of the spirit of GITS, and that pollutes the legacy. Newcomers to the franchise are going to watch this, and even if it makes them go back to watch/read the original material, the franchise as a whole will probably never really be special to them. KaptainKristian's video about Calvin&Hobbes made me realize that. The only reason this movie is being made, at least from a corporate standpoint, is because a lot of people have heard that the original movie is good, but they don't want to go out of their way to seek out old media. they just want to consume new stuff. That's why FFVII is getting remade, it's why Psycho is getting remade, it's why almost every remake ever gets made. I'm not going to accuse people of being sheep, because I completely understand, but I do wish they'd consider what they really care about before buying.
Love the huge influence taken from Innocence's sex dolls. This is basically a geisha-ed rendition of them. The film is taking from every animated iteration of the franchise: - Lots of shot-by-shot takes from the animated film - The geisha robot inspired from Innocence - Hideo Kuze from the second season of the series At least visually, the film should be a joy ride for GitS lovers. I know it'll be for me.
@@n8tehgr8est yeah I get that knowing whats reality or a simulation thing, I just didn't pay attention enough to the environment and meaning of the image. The first movie is full of meaningful backgrounds and shots.
The guys at weta workshop are incredible, they did all of the prop work on the lord of the rings trilogy, their dedication and commitment knows no bounds, they were making props for almost 2 years before they even started shooting the movies.
Your passion is amazing Adam please do more. You get everyone excited not only me but the people you speak seem very relaxed with you, literally you are opening a curtain to a film world we have never seen. Keep up the good work!!
It is a bit of a double edged statement, on the one hand, we cannot see with as much detail everything that goes into it, and he expects people better than him to watch the channel, also on the other hand he expects the majority to be of mythbusters audience standard. Considering a lot watching this will end up being non subscribers, he may have a point. For those of us with their jaws on the flaw, i don't think he was talking to us.
It's a Hollywood movie. Sorry, man. The only reason you might want to watch it is to appreciate the craft that went into it. The movie itself will have nothing of substance.
it s always fantastic when a movie studio goes to this scale of detail instead of CGI, much respect and appreciation. Kubo is a another great example of amazing craftsmanship and art expression. Can't wait ti see the film.
That is so extremely fascinating! It is astounding that he said they couldn't even do 2 years ago what they did in this movie. WOW! Thank you so much for showing us this!
+SlocketSeven I expect the movie to be a mix of pre-existing and new elements. Then the weebs can have it both ways: "that wasn't in the anime therefore BAD", and "that was taken from the anime therefore BAD".
Thread Bomb I'm a fan of changing things to make them more realistic and modern. Especially for comic book movies. The weebs and hardcore fans need to realize that it can't be 100% exactly the same and honestly I'm a fan of Ghost in the Shell and I think it would be boring to see a 1/1 and it also wouldn't work.
Everyone is predicting how bad the movie is going to be. You all have to at least appreciate the work that goes into these models and designs! I for one, am probably going to go see the movie exclusively for the practical effects, and marvel at the intricacy and expertise put into the models! Great work as always Weta!!!
JAMSART There's no way Heath Ledger is going to be a good Joker. He's going to suck, Dark Knight is going to suck, and Hollywood is going to keep ruining all our favorite characters... Oh how quick we judge.
People tend to be more pessimistic nowadays. One thing might be judged, and anticipated to be garbage, only to emerge as one of the best films of the year! Only one way to find out.. Watch it! Great example Dean :)
No, fuck you. I don't care if they put down a lot of effort if they fuck the movie up. Besides, the problem people have is with the direction of the movie (or at least the trailer) not with the quality of their props.
JAMSART I do appreciate the craftsmanship. I have a problem with directing, writing and casting. I'm afraid craftsmanship alone won't be enough to compensate.
So, what we have here is a live-action version of a classic animated film. The thinking seems to be, "Hey! It works for Disney several times a year. Next up: a live action version of "Mulan." No - wait. Disney already announced that? Okay, how about "The Wild Thornberrys"? Is there a part for Chris Pratt or that tiresome Jennifer Laurence person? Is she washed up, yet? Seriously, though, if they just transfer "Ghost in the Shell" directly to the screen, with no "imaginative re-imagining" of the source material, they'll have a worldwide hit.
Feels like a great privilege to see Weta's craftsmanship for every project. The movie may or may not work, but I think we can be assured it will be a visual spectacle and the work that went towards that can certainly be appreciated.
I got to visit Weta in November and you could just feel the passion in every room. It was one of the most amazing parts of my trip getting to be around so much film and fx history.
I agree. I wish more movies used real practical effects as opposed to computer generated ones. I will definitely see this movie for its visuals if nothing else
Just fantastic craftsmanship. I love that the film makers allowed Weta to take it this far you really have to respect that. Amazing job for all involved i cant wait to see the movie too.
love how passionate Adam is in seeing these amazing props in person...have to admit i'd feel the same way if i ever had the opportunity to visit (or were invited) to Weta Workshop
RUclips needs more of this. I remember being a kid watching Discovery Channel and the like, when they would show these amazing special FX behind the scenes production. Completely unreal how much work goes in to this stuff; and yes even when it comes to CGI.
Richard Taylor is a pioneer and just an amazing artist and comminicator. Him and his team are some of the most talented makers and innovators in the world in their field. Just beautiful pieces as usual.
omg its the guy with the monotone voice from my childhood where i would watch the extended lord of the rings and then the making off on repeat, i was an odd child, but seriously respect to Richard Taylor!
Poppy Mason-Smith Even if some could derive pleasure purely from the technical achievements of the movie, I fear that they would not showcase them enough to make a difference. Seeing the cinematography of modern Hollywood action flicks, I am not confident that the practical effects will be shown in its full glory. Fast cuts, shaky cam, jump scares, etc.
until recently me and my brother would watch the lotrs, the commentary and the making of a few times a year, but since I'm at uni I'm not really able too, though my mum considers it a blessing!
Jesper Well i believe a SAO liveaction could work better than Jojo.... its just teens ... or teen and his harem fighting Possible cgi. OOR they could make it "live action" and do it in a Final Fantasy kinda style. it can't become much worse in storytelling and the story itself is simple but genious... id give it a try.
I love how much detail and passion the crafters have for their work. This looks amazing! In the film I really expected this to be CGI but I'm so glad it's live, it'll look so much better in this noir future world.
Thank you so much Adam and all of you at Tested. Great coverage of the props and effects and all. That flower petal open face is crazy creepy looking. And the time to make it so perfect was spent well.
what an amazing opportunity to make this film, props to rupert and ash thorp and vitaly bulgarov and the rest of the team who worked so hard on the film.
I hope the geishas don't have like 5 mins in the movie, because they are the coolest designs I have seen in a long time, and would love to see them have a big part of the movie.
Simply amazing. Digital work is getting to the point that its becoming at times seamless compared to reality. But its the practical effects like this that gives great movies a whole other level. You know its a model or mask. But when you see it on screen and see the craft of these artists you will never forget it. And when done right its better than anything done on computers.
I love weta workshop! I have had the pleasure to go on tour through it twice, thank you for sharing this I had no idea weta was involved with Ghost in the shell.
I wasn't sure who he was talking about when he mentioned the famous Japanese actress. Fukushima Rila was the model inspiration for the face. Really cool to see this!
I love being able to see these sort of things especially since it's being made in the country I live in..! And to see Adam get excited about it made me even more excited! I can't wait to see the movie
What beautiful art these guys have created! Amazingly well captured and interviewed by your team Tested. It's always a joy seeing what I would usually have never thought even existed!
Weta makes saleable statues, the geisha is one such; the whole thing stands about a foot tall(?), and has an interchangeable head so that you can have open or closed face. It's the whole geisha, though, and not just the head.
Easier options I guess... You can get the Blufans version of Ghost in the Shell the Bluray box is a geisha with an opening face. And someone did a limited run of A4 lenticular posters or steelbook magnets of the opening face too. . If you can find the Staff Box version of Ghost in the Shell Innocence that has the doll face opening too. They did some weird limited editions of Ghost in the Shell Innocence, including the fabled 'Dog Box' which included a basset hound music box...
Adam you are awesome!! Please do more behind the scenes because I can see you're like a child in a sweet shop. I can see not only your passion but you manage to get the set and casts passion where ever you are. Well done!!
Beautifully made...congrats for the whole robotics team! Ghost in the Shell is a Cornerstone for modern sci-fi anime movies and a foundation for many sci-fi and futuristic transcendental movies and series! hope the movie is loyal to its anime counterpart! cant wait to watch it!!
Thank you for showing off Weta! I credit you for teaching me about them. And affording me the opportunity to visit them on my recent vacation. It was my favorite experience of visiting New Zealand.
When the animated film came out in 1995 it blew my mind and to this day it is my favourite film of all time. I will watch the new one when it comes out, but I fear I will be disappointed. But there is always the hope of something good. I just hope they do not shit on the original to badly.
Rakadis they already did with the props don't you remember he made them steam punk cause he liked hugo and doesn't want it to be "hard tech" even though that's what ghost in the shell is its like making a star wars reboot but making Jedi wizards and their lights sabers wands just cause the director liked harry potter and didn't like the future feel of star wars this one is less exaggerated but it's the same thing just in a smaller way
i disagree. there was a lot of old-school tech elements in the GitS movies, especially the second one. it was more about old Japan and the contrast vs the new stuff, but if you see the thermosuit it looks futuristic as hell, vs a really old theme of prostitute/entertainer (some say it's the oldest job in the world, a profundly human one) being lavishly synthetic but elegant, like there was more than one way to do tech, a human one and an automated one. I imagine Motoko in the basin with those high-tech machine VS some old guy polishing the skin and adjusting the eyes on those geishas in his crummy workshop. to me it highlights a lot of Japanese modern culture in a way the animations couldn't (especially with the revival of the old traditional crafts in the last 20-30 years) in a cultore about robots and whether or not things have souls, it becomes very interesting to see those robots being "born" with human hands or soullessly manufactured. then again, I only go with what we've seen so far. we have to wait for the movie before judging it.
Ryona Angel I hate the fact that they cast Johansson. Sure, sure she's been in action movies and has been an action star before, but she was always playing the same character: Scarlett Johansson. She is the same person in every movie, and I don't want GITS to be a Scarlett Johansson movie. I want GITS to be a GITS movie.
if you want an example of scarletts ability to act stoic and emotionless watch her in "under the skin", i think she will do a great job at portraying the major.
Extremely beautiful artwork. I can definitely see how these teams' innovations can cross the barriers of art- to science- to medical advancements. I would give anything to be there just like Adam. I guess I'll have to go see the movie now. Artwork always draws me in.
Looks quite nice. That's one of the downsides to the movie, it probably will only be in the movie for a few minutes at best, you wont get close up looks of it probably or if you do it will be quick ones. So most people will miss out on the intricacies of these models.
This has been one of the most amazing showcases this channel has had the privilege to make. My God what a treat that is. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
I dunno, it's pretty reasonable to be wary and not expect anything from the movie. Most adaptations of eastern properties turn out bad from the perspective of the people who liked the original, and many people don't see a reason for it to be adapted at all. People have been burned too many times to think that this will be any good.
I'm so glad they have such beautiful practical fx going into this movie. Digital stuff is all well and good, but it just doesn't compare to the work, the time, or the artistry that goes into practical effect design.
BrokenGlass043 Chris Stuckman made a review of the movie and he is pleased by it. He's a big movie and anime fan, and he said the movie is mostly faithful to the original.
That's true, but there are also some other reviews of people who didn't like it. I trust Chris, but I will see it for myself, I hope it's as good as he said =)

That was amazing! I'm so glad Adam moved to RUclips after Mythbusters!

Me too, the guy really fascinates me.
Gadget Addict hes from mythbusters!?
Samuel Arias is that a joke? 😅
Samuel Arias Dude...
Adam's appreciation for other people's artwork makes me so happy.
Same I love your channel btw
I think it's because he knows first-hand the talent and effort required to make those models and props... combined with the fact that he has nothing to prove.
Me too. He is an amazing guy with the talent to understand all he sees
6:25 It actually makes perfect sense that this ribcage is decorated in such a handcrafted way. I mean if people will pay high prices to have the interior of their luxury watches' decorated why not do so with your robots or body augmentations!
That was absolutely incredible! Seeing two people as passionate about their craft as Adam and Richard is truly a joy, thanks guys!
Thats what makes the fun for me to watch Adam build anything, he's just totally into it :D
If you don't mind a recommendation, check out ILikeToMakeStuff. He's a maker too ^^
But don't expect another Adam Savage, that would not be fair...
This was truly fascinating! This sort of enthusiasm really makes watching these types of things just that much more interesting.
It's that he knows enough that he's able to pull out so much info from him.

WETA is just mindblowingly amazing , everytime they work on something they come up with a fictional backstory for every little detail.

You're here from Reddit, aren't you?
quite possibly yes
@@rustyreddo ok, good cause I am too, lol. I was the one who asked for the link.
Not gonna lie, having those guys working on the FNaF movie would be great, even if they're going to work only with the classic ones
Now if only the people working on the movie script are as competent as these guys....
EXACTLY!
I personally really enjoyed it
The Producers and Directors of the movie really missed the metaphor and failed to capture me phase and magic of the original, but still is a relatively good movie compared to hollywood nowdays...
The movie was great
@@Jacksonmontyart It's incredibly stunning, visually, but the plot is the most generic thing ever.

But I understand how you GITS fans feel... I was right there when they released The Last Airbender film.
At least The Last Airbender was closer to the source material than Dragonball...that said it was still a cinematic atrocity.
There could have been one. They could have just followed a single plotline instead of three and hoped it worked.

Haven't finished Stand Alone Complex, but is great so far! Second movie was kind of wierd, I might have to re-watch it or is it straight foward?

I want that automated Geisha so bad. Truly beautiful art peace, thank you Adam great vid
Me too. Must be very expensive though
I see it as a beautiful peace of art so yes I do. :0)
The horrible can also be beautiful.
I first became aware of Richard Taylor in 2003 on the making of Fellowship of the Ring DVD. Dude is a legend.
Love your avatar, how do you feel about the new movie coming out this year?
Thanks. Excited!
Give that WETA Digital is involved in the practical effects there is hope yet that western movie making doesn't ruin GiTS.
The guys at weta workshop are incredible, they did all of the prop work on the lord of the rings trilogy, their dedication and commitment knows no bounds, they were making props for almost 2 years before they even started shooting the movies.
Same!
The workflow explanation of his is excelent: i never ever heard anyone to describe the process of managing creative processes so clearly and simply.
Your passion is amazing Adam please do more. You get everyone excited not only me but the people you speak seem very relaxed with you, literally you are opening a curtain to a film world we have never seen. Keep up the good work!!
10:04 "this may not look like a great deal of complexity to your viewers ..." say WHAT ?!
Jordan C. Wilde there's a lot of idiots on yt
comparing it to the level of complexity for car engeneering, he was talking about the face opening mechanism not the design itself.

It's a Hollywood movie. Sorry, man. The only reason you might want to watch it is to appreciate the craft that went into it. The movie itself will have nothing of substance.

Practical Effects in a Modern SciFi movie?!
Josh B. Nimble That's what I like to see!
Josh B. Nimble remember that space bread from the force awakens that grew out of some powder and liquid? That was practical.
just wait until the new bladerunner movie!
**head explodes**
that's the trend actually.
and that's an AMAZING trend - smart blending of CGI with practical effects (Mad max for example) gives amazing results
When it popped open, I jumped a little in my seat and was all like "Wow, that's incredible"
Woah Technology
+SlocketSeven I expect the movie to be a mix of pre-existing and new elements. Then the weebs can have it both ways: "that wasn't in the anime therefore BAD", and "that was taken from the anime therefore BAD".

At the very least it looks like it'll be a good movie when judged on its own merits.

until recently me and my brother would watch the lotrs, the commentary and the making of a few times a year, but since I'm at uni I'm not really able too, though my mum considers it a blessing!
Can't wait for SAO the western movie.
*Throws up*
tbh they cant get worse than the anime
lego films 1 Gonna be Tv show
+Chocolate Storm Just you wait lol
Attack on Titan live action Hollywood movie. Directed by Michael Bay.
Jesper
Well i believe a SAO liveaction could work better than Jojo....
its just teens ... or teen and his harem fighting Possible cgi.
OOR they could make it "live action" and do it in a Final Fantasy kinda style.
it can't become much worse in storytelling and the story itself is simple but genious... id give it a try.
I love how much detail and passion the crafters have for their work. This looks amazing! In the film I really expected this to be CGI but I'm so glad it's live, it'll look so much better in this noir future world.
Shouts out to Tested's cinematography. All the subtle pans and well placed inserts are some of the best on YT.
Stunning work as always! So amazing!
I'm so excited to see this movie, thanks for the behind the scenes to the creative world @tested
One of the coolest Tested videos I've seen. Awesome stuff.
Superb! I love the old fashioned clock work inside that face and the way the "petals", as he calls them, fit together. Fantastic!
This stuff is beyond amazing... Holy cow..
Now thats a cool Thunderbirds shirt. Say hi to Woz B from me.
Don't worry about the sound guy, all the sound gets re-recorded anyway.
You are the one who killed a spider with a vacuum!
Oh man, thunderbirds.... Brings me back to the days when i was a kid watching these. i now have all episodes on dvd.
Thank you so much Adam and all of you at Tested. Great coverage of the props and effects and all. That flower petal open face is crazy creepy looking. And the time to make it so perfect was spent well.
what an amazing opportunity to make this film, props to rupert and ash thorp and vitaly bulgarov and the rest of the team who worked so hard on the film.
I hope the geishas don't have like 5 mins in the movie, because they are the coolest designs I have seen in a long time, and would love to see them have a big part of the movie.
I dont think they even got 5 minutes and the action was so quick that some of the details were hard to see.
I love you Adam Savage! Your videos always brightens my day!
Simply amazing. Digital work is getting to the point that its becoming at times seamless compared to reality. But its the practical effects like this that gives great movies a whole other level. You know its a model or mask. But when you see it on screen and see the craft of these artists you will never forget it. And when done right its better than anything done on computers.
I love Weta Workshop's work. Each prop is a work of art.
I love weta workshop! I have had the pleasure to go on tour through it twice, thank you for sharing this I had no idea weta was involved with Ghost in the shell.
Aaron Briggs so lucky
I wasn't sure who he was talking about when he mentioned the famous Japanese actress. Fukushima Rila was the model inspiration for the face. Really cool to see this!
Always love watching Richard talk about his passion and films!!
seeing these up close is just...beautiful. can't wait to see them in action.
Thank you so much for this! This is absolutely fascinating.
These things are incredible! Weta Workshop is my dream job for sure! If only they would open up a branch in Canada...
Rob Spithoff Yup fuckin Justin Trudeau
Rob Spithoff it's my dream job and I'm from New Zealand
I love being able to see these sort of things especially since it's being made in the country I live in..! And to see Adam get excited about it made me even more excited! I can't wait to see the movie
What beautiful art these guys have created! Amazingly well captured and interviewed by your team Tested. It's always a joy seeing what I would usually have never thought even existed!
This is the kind of stuff why I love Tested
The geisha robot design was absolutely the best thing about the film
Thanks Adam and Mr. Taylor/WETA! Amazing work!
The passion in his craft and film in general is so inspiring!
I want the cyborg geisha that can open its face for my living room ! :o
Weta makes saleable statues, the geisha is one such; the whole thing stands about a foot tall(?), and has an interchangeable head so that you can have open or closed face. It's the whole geisha, though, and not just the head.
SAME
@@sheamurray-phelan5416well thats what the geisha were for
Easier options I guess... You can get the Blufans version of Ghost in the Shell the Bluray box is a geisha with an opening face. And someone did a limited run of A4 lenticular posters or steelbook magnets of the opening face too. . If you can find the Staff Box version of Ghost in the Shell Innocence that has the doll face opening too. They did some weird limited editions of Ghost in the Shell Innocence, including the fabled 'Dog Box' which included a basset hound music box...
7:53 looks like ballora from fnaf sl
Well, they're simmilar.
Fabulous 14 minutes of TV. Thanks to all at Tested.
Adam you are awesome!! Please do more behind the scenes because I can see you're like a child in a sweet shop. I can see not only your passion but you manage to get the set and casts passion where ever you are. Well done!!
And that's how you make nightmares... with Adam Savage!
The moment when you are introvert and finally are back home alone again 7:58
Off comes the mask?
WOW, the attention to detail is amazing. What great work!
Beautifully made...congrats for the whole robotics team! Ghost in the Shell is a Cornerstone for modern sci-fi anime movies and a foundation for many sci-fi and futuristic transcendental movies and series! hope the movie is loyal to its anime counterpart! cant wait to watch it!!
"Everytime I come is an adventure."
7:27 I want to have that Geisha in my room as a decoration/statue because its gorgeous and amazing
*sOBs ;^;*
It's awesome, I can't get enough of this movie's art.
Thank you for showing off Weta!
I credit you for teaching me about them. And affording me the opportunity to visit them on my recent vacation. It was my favorite experience of visiting New Zealand.
When the animated film came out in 1995 it blew my mind and to this day it is my favourite film of all time. I will watch the new one when it comes out, but I fear I will be disappointed. But there is always the hope of something good. I just hope they do not shit on the original to badly.
Rakadis they already did with the props don't you remember he made them steam punk cause he liked hugo and doesn't want it to be "hard tech" even though that's what ghost in the shell is its like making a star wars reboot but making Jedi wizards and their lights sabers wands just cause the director liked harry potter and didn't like the future feel of star wars this one is less exaggerated but it's the same thing just in a smaller way
i disagree. there was a lot of old-school tech elements in the GitS movies, especially the second one. it was more about old Japan and the contrast vs the new stuff, but if you see the thermosuit it looks futuristic as hell, vs a really old theme of prostitute/entertainer (some say it's the oldest job in the world, a profundly human one) being lavishly synthetic but elegant, like there was more than one way to do tech, a human one and an automated one. I imagine Motoko in the basin with those high-tech machine VS some old guy polishing the skin and adjusting the eyes on those geishas in his crummy workshop. to me it highlights a lot of Japanese modern culture in a way the animations couldn't (especially with the revival of the old traditional crafts in the last 20-30 years)
in a cultore about robots and whether or not things have souls, it becomes very interesting to see those robots being "born" with human hands or soullessly manufactured.
then again, I only go with what we've seen so far. we have to wait for the movie before judging it.
Now I want to watch the movie.
AGAIN
Same
Watch the anime instead.
it's not very good, the anime is still a million times better.
Incredible
I've not been sure about this live action GITS movie, but this gives me lots of hope for it, at least cinematically. These are amazingly well done.
7:56 nerdgasm lol
He definitely has to change his pants.
I'm dreading this movie.
Johansson just....lacks the power the major has.
Ryona Angel one can only hope.
Ryona Angel I hate the fact that they cast Johansson. Sure, sure she's been in action movies and has been an action star before, but she was always playing the same character: Scarlett Johansson. She is the same person in every movie, and I don't want GITS to be a Scarlett Johansson movie. I want GITS to be a GITS movie.
if you want an example of scarletts ability to act stoic and emotionless watch her in "under the skin", i think she will do a great job at portraying the major.
In "under the skin" she made an amazing job
Yeah, that is the biggest problem the movie looks like it has.
Speechless. I'm looking forward to what they've been able to achieve with this film.
Extremely beautiful artwork. I can definitely see how these teams' innovations can cross the barriers of art- to science- to medical advancements. I would give anything to be there just like Adam. I guess I'll have to go see the movie now. Artwork always draws me in.
Looks quite nice. That's one of the downsides to the movie, it probably will only be in the movie for a few minutes at best, you wont get close up looks of it probably or if you do it will be quick ones. So most people will miss out on the intricacies of these models.
iamfuturetrunks but it's steampunk it has nothing to do with the original source
I'm pumped for Ghost in a Shell. Might be the 1st anime to live action movie that does it right
DangerMou$e they made it steam punk so I doubt it
Charles Pwnage it seems to me you have no idea what steampunk is
Charles Pwnage No they are not, do you even hear what they say in this video?
Super Moon i do im talking about the look you see gold and clockwork machinery in steampunk not cyberpunk
Icex Aoki ues he doesn't want hard tech that's against what gits is
This has been one of the most amazing showcases this channel has had the privilege to make. My God what a treat that is. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Amazing... It's nice how they really built the inside parts like it's really interesting.
“Collaborate with Hanka Robotics, and be destroyed.”
Like fnaf sl!
wow. That's impressive. The magnet concept of the pieces auto-aligning is awesome. Never would have guessed they went that far.
i hope this movie lives up to the props team this is so detailed!
I was so happy till i watched the comments, people is so negattive...
RUclips comments are cancer mate. I lost hope in the purpose of having a comment section for this website long ago.
Kimnori 9 *are *negative
sowhazupguy sorry, im not an English native speaker :)
Fixed Face ???
I dunno, it's pretty reasonable to be wary and not expect anything from the movie. Most adaptations of eastern properties turn out bad from the perspective of the people who liked the original, and many people don't see a reason for it to be adapted at all. People have been burned too many times to think that this will be any good.
first thought at 7:58 was sister location. apart from that everything is so pretty and i really want to watch this
clara tan Ikr
I'm so glad they have such beautiful practical fx going into this movie. Digital stuff is all well and good, but it just doesn't compare to the work, the time, or the artistry that goes into practical effect design.
All this amazing work for seconds of screen time. Fan-tastic!
here's to using actual props instead of CGI, bravo.
Dear whatever god that's listening, please let this movie be will written and acted. Amen.
well*
went to the premiere in paris.... i was disappointed
Noooooooooo
BrokenGlass043 Chris Stuckman made a review of the movie and he is pleased by it. He's a big movie and anime fan, and he said the movie is mostly faithful to the original.
That's true, but there are also some other reviews of people who didn't like it. I trust Chris, but I will see it for myself, I hope it's as good as he said =)
that animatronic head was really rad and i love how they are clean and futuristic on the outside but steampunk/handcrafted inside
Absolutely amazing, these guys are modern wizards. And a proper shout out to the Darkness statue head in the back ground.
