  • Adam Savage visits Weta Workshop to get up close with some of the practical props the effects studio made for the upcoming film Ghost in the Shell. Weta Workshop's Richard Taylor shows Adam the mechanical geisha masks and animatronic puppets his team created, and how Weta Workshop used new fabrication and design technologies to make these props possible.

      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.

    • @coenraed
      @coenraed 8 років тому +10

      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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

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...

    • @charlespwnage5435
      @charlespwnage5435 8 років тому +1

      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

    • @ysucae
      @ysucae 8 років тому +1

      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.

    I'm so torn to see this movie. They did so much work to make it so incredible but not enough to use Asian actors on clearly an Asian movie. Yes that again. I love manga and anime too much to not say something.
    I'm may have to bite the bullet, but the jury not out yet.
    Great vid about truly talented workers and prop makers on the set.

      frank lowery Have you actually looked at the cast? The majority are Asian, this whole big 'white washing' bull comes from Scarlet Johansen being the lead. It's literally not true.

    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.

    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
