If you’ve ever seen the classic anime film Ghost in the Shell, a striking sequence that still rings strong is the opening sequence of a female cyborg being born.  A team of professional 30 plus VFX artists collabed to recreate the beautiful shots from the GitS opening.

Graphic designer Ash Thorp has worked on Amazing Spiderman 2, X-Men: First Class and Person of Interest, but this was a pure labor of love.

“I originally wanted this to be just a fun side project to create with some friends on my free time over a time span of a month, if that,” Thorp tells The Verge. “But as we opened up the opportunities it got bigger and more complicated as the team grew.”
