September bonus #2: Making of Game: Ghost in the Shell LD rip
🕑 Added 2024-09-29 14:04:49 +0000 UTCAnother l'il treat for you, and this one is pretty awesome. Or at least I think so. I recently came across this LaserDisc on a Japanese auction site that caught my attention; it appeared to be a making-of special on the PlayStation game Ghost in the Shell. Surely that couldn't be right, I thought? But no, it is correct. This video talks specifically about digital animation processes as they existed in 1998, making it an interesting archaeological find... but it also includes a ton of uncompressed Production I.G. animation from the GITS. It's beautiful. I remember first playing GITS on a little 13" GXTV, so seeing it blown up to this scale in much higher quality makes me finally feel like I'm living in the future. And it also gives me a better understanding of why people go nuts for animation on LaserDisc... mastered with this quality, it looks stunning. The video quality here is a bit soft due to the low resolution source that's been upscaled, but other than that... gorgeous. Please enjoy.
