Bladerunner: Creative Process

We chose to show Roy’s point of view with his memories. As a replicant he experienced things including fearing for his life. He was the antagonist and leader of the Nexus 6 group that went to earth but in the end, he really showed that he was scared to die and worried his memories would be gone. We wanted to show both his dark side and what we thought was fearful for him. We made a storm with pouring rain coming from a big cloud, each raindrop or tear is a collage of his memories. We decided to get the pictures wet and smeared to symbolize the memories fading away with the rain as Roy died.

Some images we included in our collage consist of the robot eye and human eyes which was huge importance of this movie. The object used to detect if someone was a replicant was also in this collage and we made sure to add Leon and Pris who meant a lot to Roy and felt the same feelings as him, fear. We made sure to add his creator Tyrell as well as the brand nexus and of course the number four which would be his year death date. We also added pictures we thought symbolized Roy’s end quote talking about attack ships on fire and C beams glitter in the dark. I chose to add some images of robots to show that although Roy was physical and felt human, he still wasn’t. We added a picture of a dove symbolizing him letting go of his life at the end of the movie. We put pictures of Earth specifically at the Bradbury hotel where he stayed. I also think it’s important to add Deckard in this collage because Roy knew of him and even mentioned that he thought he was supposed to be the best guy to capture replicants.

First Class and About Me

 I am a senior at UT and very excited to takes this class. My hometown is Syracuse NY and I am an allied health major with a minor in marketing. I have interest in the medical field. My hobbies include watching movies with friends and shopping/thrifting. I love fashion and making crafty things. I chose this class because I think science fiction is so interesting, personally I love watching movies and shows that make me feel like I am in a different place or part of the show. I also am interested in artificial intelligence and how our future can change so drastically everyday from it. I really enjoy watching movies but I do not love writing, I am more of a math and science person who enjoys learning visually. I expect to challenge my mind during this course and push myself to think in new creative ways. I do think many movies show how our future can end up and what our technology is evolving towards. 

Love, Death + Robots

     My favorite short from Love, Death + Robots was Three Robots: Exit Strategies. This short film was produced by Blow Studio based in Spain, sci-fi writer John Scalzi created both the original and the sequel of “Three Robots”. This short story was to send a message while adding a sense of humor. This story is a great depiction of what the future might hold as far as humans being the ultimate threat to themselves. I enjoyed this film the most because it shows how futuristic the technology could be with robots but also how terrible the future could be if humans do not start changing their ways. The robots have become smarter than humans and even mock them as their creators. The whole film these three robots walk around a post-apocalypse world and digest what they are seeing how at fault humans are.  While trying to figure out how to survive in this world the robots discover human remains of a “survivalist camp” where humans wanted civilization to collapse because they wanted freedom

The Matrix notes

- Neo’s mouth suddenly closes just from the detective mentioning it and a little robotic bug goes into his belly button - Then the detectives say he will help them and Neo wakes up in his bed and believes he was dreaming - The next day Morpheus calls him and says to meet him and explains to him that he has known about the Matrix his whole life and its everywhere around him - He explains that no one can be told what it is but you have to see it for yourself, he gives Neo an option to take the blue pill and forget anything ever happened or take the red pill and go down the rabbit hole with the truth - Neo takes the red pill, they hook him up to wires  - He wakes up in a take all slimy with tubes connected to him and sees building like structures filled with the same tanks of people like him  - A flying spider like structure comes and releases him from the tubes and he falls into a pit of water and Morpheus gets him and says we found him trinity he’s the one - Neo asks why
