In “Blade Runner Revisited”, François Vautier has produced an experimental homage to “Blade Runner”, Ridley Scott’s sci-fi noir classic. In creating the film, François ripped 167,819 frames from the “Final Cut” version and digitally pasted them together, making a single image roughly 60,000 pixels square. In digital camera terms, it’s 3.6 gigapixels.
Much of the film involves floating above this giant image, zooming in on key events from the film accompanied by soundtrack and vocals from the film itself. It’s quite stunning and slightly overwhelming, but definitely worth 4 minutes of your time.
