Simon Edmondson Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 http://vimeo.com/70516727 A friend spotted this blokes work today. This is a reworking of an advert he did for a Dutch company.. Does contain nudity, albeit very briefly. His other video's are worth looking at too. There is a very good one of walk and run cycles, that contains female and male nudity. Quote
Tore Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Wonderfull!! Thanks for the link, Simon! Quote
Simon Edmondson Posted November 28, 2013 Author Posted November 28, 2013 http://io9.com/blade-runner-as-recreated-i...colo-1467003841 This is a rather strange one. Bladerunner done in watercolour. Perhaps I'm being cranky but I do wonder why ? So much time, effort and skill to translate another piece of work into a different medium... Quote
Tore Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 That last one is amazing! I guess Anders Ramsell felt the same as I did hen I saw Blade Runner the first time: I so wished that it was me who had made that film! Mr. Ramsell apparently acted on that notion! But you're right, Simon. It really doesn't grab you, even if the paintings are beatifull, and I must admit that when I had seen the first minut or so, I began to fast forward through the film... Could be interesting though, to see these guys use the technique on an original story, or to expand on a piece of abstract music. Quote
Wildsided Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Nice one Simon, I do love me some 2d animation. Quote

Tore I loved Blade Runner from the opening scene, and I went to see it at the cinema about 6 times. Have read the book about the making of the film, "Future Noir", which explained how fraught a production it was, and read the Philip K Dick book several times. For me, its far and away the best adaptation of his work. I'm not a great fan of SFX overall but they worked well in that film. It was the quality of the visuals, design, lighting and the way Ridley Scott put it altogether that did it. Can't recall anything else from that period that impressed me so much. Still have the film poster on my wall, the only other one is for The Iron Giant which is my all time favourite film. I went to see it 12 times at the cinema and would have gone more but they stopped showing it. Have you seen the work of Len Lye ? He made experimental films in the 1930's for the GPO ( General Post Office ), they were often abstract patches of colour animated to music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PgNr0IZRDE https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=len+lye+r...1CuPB0QXDxYGwBw regards simon Quote
