François Vautier has created an animated short using all 167,819 frames of Ridley Scott’s classic Blade Runner. “I assembled all these images to obtain one gigantic image of colossal dimensions: a square of approximately 60,000 pixels on one side alone, 3.5 gigapixels (3500 million pixels),” he explains. Vaultier then panned a virtual camera above this giant image, creating the illusion of animation. Set to a mix of the film’s galactic synth music and dialogue, the experimental short becomes all the more fitting when the camera seems to follow Deckard’s zoom instructions.
