Android Dreams: Time-lapse Tokyo Homage to Blade Runner

[Video Link]. Boing Boing reader Samuel Cockedey created this lovely short, and explains:

This is a tribute to Ridley Scott and Vangelis, whose work on Blade Runner has been a huge source of inspiration in my shooting time lapses. Please watch in HD with sound on! Shot over a year in Tokyo with a Canon 5dmk2, mainly in the Shinjuku area. Music: "Main Titles" and "Blush Response" from the Blade Runner soundtrack. More information on the process here. Selected sequences available for licensing here.

Boing Boing editor/partner and tech culture journalist Xeni Jardin hosts and produces Boing Boing's in-flight TV channel on Virgin America airlines (#10 on the dial), and writes about living with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. @xeni on Twitter. email: xeni@boingboing.net.

That sky looks like the color of a television tuned to a dead channel.

All of my/our Tuesdays should start with an homage to Blade Runner!

Vangelis’ score has held up so well to the test of time. Most sci-fi soundtracks sound dated about the time they hit DVD (or VHS in the old days I guess).

  Speaking of dated scores, I hope someone, someday, completely redoes the soundtrack for Ladyhawke. It’s kind of traumatic to watch such a great film with such a horrific soundtrack. :(
