Project

Synopsis

-

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 stay true to the original creator’s vision.

Insight

What started as a photo tribute directed by Ash Thorp and Tim Tadder, soon became a worldwide collaboration of more than 30 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 above.  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.

Behind the Scenes

The process behind this project was vast.  Working with friends and new collaborators from around the world and combining that with a live photoshoot that involved underwater photography created lots of interesting production challenges but the hard work paid off in the end.  Here are a few behind the scenes shots from the live shoot.
