Скачать или смотреть Building the Future from Junk - Douglas Trumbull on BLADE RUNNER | TIFF REWIND

In this fascinating talk from the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, legendary visual effects pioneer Douglas Trumbull provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Ridley Scott’s sci-fi masterpiece, Blade Runner. Trumbull details how his team achieved the film's iconic, atmospheric look - including the sprawling "Hades" landscape and the towering Tyrell pyramids—using ingenious, low-budget "analog" techniques like forced-perspective miniatures, layered fiber optics, and actual explosions repurposed from his previous projects. Beyond the technical secrets of the Spinner and the advertising blimp, Trumbull reflects on his collaborative relationship with Ridley Scott, the "meticulous" nature of optical compositing in a pre-digital era, and his broader career working on films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. This presentation is a masterclass in cinematic problem-solving and a must-watch for fans of science fiction and the history of movie magic.
