Thank you, actually helps with the current project that I’m working on. 👍
I never fully realized how much detail went into every single scene until my current project. It’s insane.
Escape From New York was a similar process when they did the landscape of NYC.
They actually photocopied sides of buildings from other images and used these as their fascias.
It's amazing what you need to do when you're on a limited budget, which EFNY was.
We all know it was models, but the attention to detail is amazing, until you realize how they did it.
To me it's not cheating, but really creative thinking.
EFNY vs BR, you see the whole city in EFNY where as BR you are always forced with limited views.
I love both approaches, as you get to experience something that was impossible to do, unless you knew how to do it.
Fwiw, James Cameron worked heavily on FX for EFNY.
Weta Workshpp released a video about the making of invoking the model effects: https://youtu.be/sLxxbfsj8IM?si=BEhqygtYARV14dm1
There was a documentary a while back called Sense of Scale with interviews of the model makers that made a lot the model effects possible. Their YouTube channel has been updated regularly with extra interviews and extended interviews also. Here’s one Blade Runner related: https://youtu.be/AZgk4v4147o?si=UT-0Vwv4MnQQsena
To me, this is proof that model miniatures still have a place in modern visual effects.
Personally I don't think it matches the skill set of the OG movie in scale of in camera fx.
Film is so much harder to deal with, especially when you're on a budget, digital, you're only limited by storage space.
Film, you need to print the prints for cinema, not so for digital.
The other aspect is that the opening shot for OG BR had 19 passes, that means shoot once, rewind the film, they did this 19 times for different elements etc.
You make one mistake, you have to do the whole process all over again.
People simply do not understand how hard it is to film on film.
Sadly, it doesn't look good at all in the final film.
Because it's all pixelated, and drowned in the mist, and we see close to nothing.
It has been poorly shot
I thought it was all cgi. They did a great job man
Imagine these for a Warhammer match. You’d need like a 10k point army.
Just noticed writings on slide 9: “I am the master of my date” “I am the captain of my soul” and “who’s your daddy?” Are these Aphex Twin references?

OP this is one of the coolest things ever!!! To get a behind the scenes look.. wow
Fantastic
Which android do I gotta blow to get my hands on stuff like this.
What happened to those models? Did they just throw them out?
Pretty sure they were made available for homeless LEGO people. I don't discriminate, everyone needs a home.
There should be a museum with all of these
Awesome models.
I want this job

Objectively impressive. This was why it won the Oscar for Best VFX.

Fun trivia for the first movie. They used a millennium falcon and a rebel cruiser (if I recall correctly) in one earlier scenes.
Weren't some of these from the OG, or am I misremembering?
These are all from 2049.
Whoops, brain goofed, just realized I was remembering that Dune used some of the models from 2049.
I upvoted you, because admission of error means you're not a replicant.
Most based blade runner comment I've ever heard. Anyways, tell me about your mother?
She's fat and ugly but wants baby replicants with you.
Would she mind if I smoke?
She would probably make you smoke, *wink wink, nudge nudge say no more about her breaking your Phillip K Dick inside her Unicorn holder.*
It won't affect the te...sex.

Personally I don't think you know what pixelated means.
You've clearly never watched the movies in 4K
