HGrubbs: Blade Runner Project Creative Process

    Our group decided to create a physical play on Roy's final words, "...All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die...". We first brainstormed and decided to form a literal cloud of rain, but the raindrops are his tears containing his memories being lost. I chose to include actual moments and people from the movie, such as Pris, Deckard, and Tyrell, along with the moments where he saved Deckard, when he killed Tyrell, and when he was on the run from the police. I also chose to include images of his famous recap prior to his death, "...I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate...". Aside from these specific images, I also included images of of "themes" that I think plagued his mind. The concepts of lost time, AI, data, death, sonship, space, running, fire and ice, and pain were all played upon with various images.

I also really admired the idea behind the “sleep tanks”. I took a lot of the film metaphorically, and I think these tanks really served as a foreshadowing in a sense of what “Greta” would do for them. Written by Alastair Reynolds, Philip Gelatt, and Tim Miller, and directed by Gabriele Pennacchioli, Dominique Boidin, and Léon Bérelle, the short aimed to tell a riveting, yet chilling story differentiating simulation from reality. The short depicted the main character, Thom, and his crew waking up from their sleep tanks. Upon awakening, Thom’s seeming ex-lover, Greta, greets them and informs them that they hadn’t landed where they intended. After a whirlwind fling with Thom, and a gnarly fight with Suzy, Thom begins to unravel the s
