Slashdot Mirror

There used to be the Japanese version the Japanese web site of the film, but they seem to have removed the trailer and redone the site.

The trailer was originally in Quicktime. There are two versions of thr trailer, one which is around 33MiB and the other around 56 MiB.

Searching with google (terms: 'ghost shell innocence mov') I got this one amongst them:

FilmForce: Exclusive Preview

The original Japanese site here. Still flash, but probably much better than the one you're currently seeing (I didn't RTFA).

Just see this Innocence final Japanese trailer, as there are no such big-eyed characters (pity for you if you can't watch wmv), small [innocence-movie.jp]/medium [innocence-movie.jp]/large

Innocence official US site at Go Fish Pictures (subsidiary of DreamWorks)

Far less impressive site though, compared to Japanese official site. I doubt their promotion - at least they should spend enough amount of money for web design, as it should cost not so much as "real" PR. Isn't internet for such virtual advertisement?

Now Japanese official site has gorgeous final trailers in wmv, small/medium/large.

The theme song, "Follow Me" is by Kimiko Itoh, and the new version of her 1989 jazz hit (English profile here).

While I don't think that 3-D CG is inherently better (or worse), I do think that variety is important, and that using the appropiate medium for the appropiate story is crucial.

I think you're very right. If you look at what's done with animation outside of the feature length format, 2d still reigns supreme and is looking incredible. But what's being used more is 3d effects and scenes, parts of scenes, mixed with the 2d animation.

This can be seen in a lot of the new high budget anime coming out of asia, see the recently released trailer for Ghost in the shell 2, but it can also be seen in the newer simpsons episodes, and every last futurama one to name a couple.

I've been more and more impressed with what I've been seeing, especially from the asian creators, and I think that if this was done well in more movies, as the incredible Mononoke-hime, we could very well have instant, and long-lasting, success on our hands :)
