jargonking Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Finally got the top wall in place with the screens....I've been playing around with japanese adverts downloaded from Google and shrunk to fit the screens...here's a Sapporo beer one.... The flash washes out a lot of the effect...here's a shot in natural light... Here's the other screen with a girl advertising a herbal drink... And in the dark....note that the images are only printed on paper...I'm going to experiment printing onto drafting film which I believe is what ParaGrafix use for their film inserts...I might also try backing them with EL sheet rather than LED's.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Outstanding.....But it will need some serious puddles or it just won't be LA! ......and dry ice to create the smoke effects. You're doing a great job jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jargonking Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Back to it..... Finally installed the screens....they are printed on plain paper, the experiments with the translucent paper didn't work, but I've sandwiched them between clear acetate (front) and very thin styrene sheet (behind) and I'm pleased with the results.... Just need to finish off the piles of garbage and run the wire feeds for the car through the base and I'm done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 That is an incredible scene, so much detail yet so balanced. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 What next? Artificial rain via a pump and a showerhead? This build is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Absolutely gorgeous.....But much too dry! Really not trying to nit-pick, but I do think it's important.....The single most prevalent environmental feature in the film is the never ending, slightly acidic, rain. Other than Daryl Hannah it's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Bladerunner (possibly my favourite sci-fi film). I'm not suggesting that you attempt to model rain flowing off the building, just that you might dampen up the groundwork, soak a couple of the newspapers and maybe add some wet tyre tracks and a puddle in the gutter etc.?

jargonking Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Been a while since I was on this build as I've had a lot of other stuff going on... Just been messing around with my camera trying to get some interesting night shots....see what you think.... Deckard makes a call.... The lights help highlight the figure.... I think the graininess gives it that misty, acid rain feel... The advertising screens are still imperfect but I think it adds to the atmosphere.... Another atmospheric shot.... Deckard drives away leaving the papers blowing across the sidewalk..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
