Ghost in the shell

Ghost in the Shell was my first project at MPC, where I worked on key lighting tasks for stylized shots involving the thermoptic suit. I developed light rigs, optimized renders, and delivered compositing slap comps with advanced layering. A major focus was achieving believable lighting behavior for reflective materials and integrating CG elements seamlessly with the practical plates.

Ghost in the Shell is a 2017 science fiction action film directed by Rupert Sanders and written by Jamie Moss, William Wheeler and Ehren Kruger, based on the Japanese manga of the same name by Masamune Shirow. It stars Scarlett Johansson, Takeshi Kitano, Michael Pitt, Pilou Asbæk, Chin Han and Juliette Binoche. Set in a near future when the line between humans and robots is blurring, the plot follows the Major (Johansson), a cyborg supersoldier who investigates her past.
