Adam Savage next meets with costume technician Flo Foxworthy, in the second video above, to view the "Thermoptic" suit that Johansson wears in Ghost in the Shell to emulate the naked android look. Foxworthy reveals the multiple processes that went into molding the innovative silicone suit, which began with a 3D scan of the actress so that it would precisely fit her form. This required some "nips and tucks," then, for the four suits made for Johansson's stunt double.

There's not much point in making a live-action version of Ghost in the Shell if it's so CGI'd it looks completely animated, so it's good to see how much effort was made into creating a more solid world for the characters to inhabit. As Savage exhibits by his reactions in the above videos, the complex animatronics of the geisha robots alone helps add a level of both beauty and terror to the film that wouldn't be possible with complete CGI. While stunning special effects and costume craftsmanship don't guarantee the film will be a hit with critics and fans, the quality of work displayed behind the scenes creates hope that the final product will be even more impressive.
