基本信息

Illustration format: 70 x 50 cm (or 27,56 x 19,68 inches), offset printing on high quality paper.

The context

This illustration shows the production imageboard used during pre-production to direct the artwork of the film Ghost in the Shell.

In the previous cut of this scene it starts raining and daylight gradually turns into night. From this cut onwards, Hiromasa Ogura, the art director of the feature drew the final production backgrounds of the sequence himself. The artwork features signboards that protrude like tentacles from a deformed building. The impression of the signboards reaching out into the space of the old town in all directions is further emphasized by capturing it with a wide-angle lens.

Ghost in the Shell - The story

Ghost in the Shell is a futuristic manga, written by Masamune Shirow, set in the fictional town of Niihama in the middle of the 21st century. Readers and viewers follow the activities of an elite anti-crime police unit, Section 9, and in particular the character of Major Motoko Kusanagi.
