Ghost in the Shell - Project 2501

Here is a very interesting project from Ash Thorp. He and his team created a very special photo series as a homage to Ghost in the Shell. They recreated the legendary "Making of a Cyborg" scene from shot to shot, the results are really amazing.

Here is a short making of video:

Ghost in the Shell - Innocence - Parade scene

Mamoru Oshii was always my favorite anime director next to Hayao Miyazaki. He directed such classics as the Patlabor series or Ghost in the Shell. Now he is working on live action features and one of them is a Patlabor movie coming out next year, I'm really looking forward to seeing it since I believe that he won't compromise and simplify anything in order to get a bigger audience. He ventured already once into live action movies with Avalon, which even if didn't become a major hit, it's considered a cult classic.

Here is a scene from the second installment of the G.I.T.S. movies, Innocence. This scene alone took over a year for the production crew to create, it's really a treat to look at, especially with Kenji Kawai's mesmerizing score. Check it out.
