A pivotal action sequence called for a series of beautiful but deadly
Geisha. With costume designers Kurt and Bart, the Workshop helped design
distinctive make-up, hair and kimono ensembles, imbuing each character with a
unique look to be recreated on the Workshop floor.
Featuring sculptural wigs, silicone limbs, and animatronic masks with moving
jaws, these Geisha pushed Weta Workshop into new creative territory, expanding
the scope of what could be achieved through physical effects.

Weta Workshop spent more than ten months immersed in the incredible
future-tech world of Ghost in the Shell. Working closely with Rupert Sanders and
his team, the Workshop helped translate Masamune Shirow’s work into a
reimagined live-action setting, before bringing those concepts to life with more
than 3000 prosthetics, animatronics, props, miniatures and specialty
costumes.
