GHOST IN THE SHELL - PROJECT 2501

Muy parecido al Akira Project, un equipo regado por diversas partes del globo ha unido sus talentos para recrear una serie de 39 cuadros stills del anime en 4K.

A respectful homage to Shirow Masamune’s manga and Mamoru Oshii’s seminal film “Ghost in the Shell”, this is a modernized direction that still tries to stays true to the original creator’s vision. What started as a photo tribute directed by Ash Thorp and Tim Tadder (photography), soon became a worldwide collaboration of more than 20 artists from around the world, with each and everyone coming together to help breath life into the project, resulting in the artistic interpretation you see below.

For a film that was a comment on the uber-connected society of the future, Project 2501 ended up being itself an example of how this collaborative group of creatives are so connected ourselves. Many of us never met beyond the communications provided by the vast and infinite net, but still came together to make the ultimate tribute to “Ghost in the Shell”.
Everyone of us wanted the opportunity to pay homage to a ground-breaking film that gave us so much.

We sincerely hope you enjoy our effort to capture the energy and beauty of the original film’s title sequence.

Akira Project - Tailer アキラ

¿Por qué seguimos así?

Sin una adaptación digna de Akira al live action, habla muy bien de las posibilidades de la animación que es al mismo tiempo, una gran historia auto contenida, y de verdad difícil de llevar a cabo.

 

 

Que bueno que Keanu no acepto el rol, hay que recordar que los protagonistas (como casi siempre) son chicos muy jóvenes.

 

Es aquí donde entran los buenos oficios del Akira Project, un proyecto crowd sourced, que comenzó en indiegogo en 2012 y tenía como meta crear este trailer, sobre como sería una adaptación fiel a la obra de (大友 克洋) Ōtomo Katsuhiro.

 

Y este es su homenaje a aquel anime de los años 80, a la vez un testimonio muy poderoso de que las cosas han cambiado, los fans y los espectadores tienen cada vez más poder de decisión sobre lo que quieren ver, la calidad no está garantizada, como paso con Veronica Mars, pero hoy en día, si los estudios no quieren darte dinero, pues no es cosa de tirarse a llorar, siempre hay modos de obtener apoyo de gente que piensa como tú, aunque los separen miles de kilómetros.

 

 

 

La cereza del pastel es encontrarle otro uso a la impresionante música de Deus Ex : Human revolution
