Ghost in the shell
Director: Rupert Sanders
VFX Supervisor: Guillaume Rocheron & John Dykstra
Overview:
MPC Design’s involvement on Ghost in the shell varied vastly from visualizing the world’s interface technology, virtual set dressing and the complex hologram deconstruction of the Major and Kuze.
The main challenge was to create a futuristic portrayal of the world that was technically advanced but still felt authentic within the low-fi aesthetic of the film. A set of bespoke tools were designed specifically to meet the unique requirements of the project and close to 40 artists worked over a period of 6 months.
Narrative-based design that pushes the boundaries of physical space is evident throughout MPC Design’s key visual motifs in Ghost in the Shell.
