The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049

Product Information

So what the hell is this dude doing? Whether a plot hole or simply evidence of Wallace’s madness, this particular bit of motivation remains a mystery. What stands out to me - and I suspected this from having watched the movie a few times - is that this movie was made with a staggering amount of practical effects. Miniatures and detailed sets are used for virtually every part of the movie. The miniatures are all over this book, and they're incredible. I can't imagine how much of the budget went straight to Weta Workshop, but it seems like they earned every bit of it considering a huge chunk of this movie would not work without them. In Joshi’s (Robin Wright) LAPD office in Blade Runner 2049 we find an oh-so-beautiful grey metal E63 Table Lamp (also called the Ruspa Table Lamp) designed by Umberto Riva. The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049 is both a display-worthy art piece and a mesmerizing insider's look at the unforgettable characters, iconic environments, and unbelievable technology featured in the film.

I have loved Blade Runner from the day I saw it as part of a Sci Fi season of films on TV (yep didnt even get to see it at the cinema) however it did not stop me from immersing myself in its story, its creation and even the people who contributed to it (I even have some rare designs by Syd Mead who is credited with designing its iconic Spinner - although I have also work by Jim Burns as well curiously).This vintage Conseta lounge chair was designed by Friedrich W. Möller in 1964 and manufactured by Cor in the 1970s – the very choice of chair by Niander Wallace in Blade Runner 2049. This is the first of two Blade Runner 2049 art books, the newer one being "Interlinked - The Art" (which I have also recently reviewed). Comparing the two books, this one has much more information about the whole process of making the movie, which was very interesting and gave me a lot of insight that I look forward to considering the next time I watch the film. The art was also beautiful, though including many photographs from production, and being much more focused on detailing the process of making the film. "Interlinked," on the other hand is almost all concept art. We get a better view of them in a behind-the-scenes shot of Denis Villeneuve on set, but they played even more of a starring role in the first movie. The live-action movie isn’t the only Blade Runner out at the moment. Don’t forget Shinichiro… Read more

The first weeks of the project were spent experimenting with the different visual effects that optical lenses, cine projectors, microfiche, card systems, etc. could produce. Even grapes and grapefruits, eyeballs and bone were dissected, magnified, photographed and scanned to create organic abstraction. Lighting and cinematography also influenced the choice of furniture and design: “Roger Deakins had a big part in the creative process, we worked very closely looking at possible light s sources. Together we also designed and custom made light fixtures and testing all manner of materials” Querzola continues. The Blade Runner 2049 journey is chronicled with captivating detail in this official visual guide presented in an oversized, luxe, full-colour format. The author documented the film’s production for two years, gaining unprecedented access to the creative process of bringing this epic to life. Shop NowIn 1982's groundbreaking film Blade Runner, the world saw a vision of the future so bold and breathtaking that it still remains at the forefront of film. These angular structures add more depth to the noir narrative, and, with the help of all the rain and smog, contributes to casting the city in darkness. It's also huge, like massively huge. Almost too physically large to be easily read, but this wide format is a great way to present the artwork from the movie. The world created in 2049 is a desolate and lonesome place, and no one seems as isolated from the world as K. As a Replicant, he's a slave. Even though he gets some privileges because he's one of the best Blade Runners in LAPD history, he still doesn't have agency and autonomy.

The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049

The geometric shapes of the architecture and interiors create dramatic shadows cast by the yellow light. There is no natural sunlight in the building so Wallace has created his own (show off!). The posters for Mother! and The Shape of Water started out as pencil sketches, while the Blade Runner 2049 poster was made entirely digitally, using an iPad Pro’s Apple Pencil and the Procreate app. (Jean also used pencil sketches, promotional material, director Denis Villeneuve's prior films, and time-lapse photos for reference points.) His two character posters for Mother! were both hand-painted. “I’m really happy with how I used different media to achieve different moods and feelings,” Jean said during a phone interview earlier this week.

The Memory Orb is my favourite piece of kit in the movie. This piece of wizardry is used to design memories for Wallace’s replicants, to help create structure for their personalities. These memories are created by a singular genius artist – Dr. Ana Stelline, a kind of virtual 3D artist using the Memory Orb to manipulate holographic stories which are then coded into replicants to make them feel more ‘real’ or human. “There’s a little of every artist in their work” she says.
