- "Blade Runner," released in 1982, is considered a seminal work in the science fiction genre and a cinematic masterpiece. Directed by Ridley Scott and based on Philip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?," the film offered a unique and dystopian vision of the future. Behind the visually stunning world of "Blade Runner" lies an equally fascinating story of its creation. In this article, we explore the behind-the-scenes details that contributed to the movie's enduring legacy.
**Ridley Scott's Vision:**
Ridley Scott, known for his attention to detail, played a pivotal role in shaping the film's aesthetics. He envisioned a gritty, neon-soaked, and rain-soaked dystopian Los Angeles in 2019. Scott's insistence on practical effects and miniatures to create this visually arresting world set a high standard for the industry.
**The Casting:**
The casting process for "Blade Runner" was a critical aspect of its success. Harrison Ford, fresh from his iconic roles as Han Solo in "Star Wars" and Indiana Jones, was chosen to portray the film's protagonist, Rick Deckard. The decision to cast Rutger Hauer as the enigmatic Roy Batty was equally pivotal, with Hauer delivering a memorable performance.
**Innovative Visual Effects:**
The film's visual effects were extremely innovative for its time. Douglas Trumbull, known for his work on "2001: A Space Odyssey," was responsible for the film's visual effects. The use of practical miniatures, matte paintings, and the invention of the "light-stick" technique created the iconic cityscape of future Los Angeles.
**Vangelis' Iconic Score:**
The hauntingly beautiful and synth-heavy score by Vangelis added a unique layer to "Blade Runner." His music became an integral part of the film's atmosphere, enhancing its emotional depth and ambiance.
**Tensions on Set:**
While "Blade Runner" has gone on to achieve cult status, the production was not without its challenges. Scott and the studio had creative differences, leading to multiple cuts of the film. The director's cut, released in 1992, was widely praised and is considered the definitive version.
**Cultural Impact:**
"Blade Runner" was not an immediate commercial success upon its release, but it quickly gained a devoted fanbase and critical acclaim. Its exploration of the nature of humanity, artificial intelligence, and the consequences of unchecked technological advancement resonated with audiences.

- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps πͺ΄ [August 2023 update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... π . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... π -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point.
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: inlens.xyz/ * (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably forever. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.
one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments. @jeanmi.lens : "be yourself, try to engage with people, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to 'GM'"
It is quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. A few approaches to get more visibility:
**[1]** @animators.lens started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0108fb-0x75 . Imo still one of the best (high quality) growth hacks Iβve seen on lens yet (0 to 100 followers). Maybe you can think of something inspired by @animators.lens β idea based on your talent and skills.
**[2]** consider joining communities on @diversehq.lens (e.g. you can post directly to the @mixtape.lens feed, be active in the #lensfit community or join c/food) and/or communities on @orbapp.lens .
**[3]** consider contributing content to the weekly @thisweekon.lens highlight series ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x04 ) or other content threads. (Keep an eye on @ryanfox.lens ;-).)
**[4]** consider participating in campaigns / events on lens or create an event (maybe check out #OPENLENS for reference). (If you plan to create something please feel free to reach out π€)
**[5]** consider joining lens spaces on @buttrfly.lens .
**[6]** @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.
`cover artists of the month`
**TYSM** @eastie.lens for creating this beautiful getting started cover π€π.
Collect is the #lens super power. The βgetting startedβ post is a 333 limited edition (0.3 WMATIC with 50% mirror fee share, the collect fee goes 100% to the artists.)
What does it mean? You can collect one of 333 available NFTs of @eastie.lens β awesome artwork (and this post :-)). If you mirror the post and the post will be collected via your mirror, you will get 0.15 WMATIC. The revenue generated from the collect fee will go directly to the artistsβ address.
Is there any utility? Everyone who collects this post can suggest and vote on the next βgetting startedβ cover artist.
