twelve years ago, a painter by the name of anders ramsell painted 12,597 aquarelle paintings of blade runner, shot by shot, of the entire film edited down to ~35 minutes. it took two years of painstaking work, all done in his spare time after work each night.

the video circled around the web for a few years, and quietly disappeared from every single site it was hosted at.

a few months ago i spent a few hours digging for it, and finally found a copy of the original file.

i’m not sure how long it will last over at IA, so enjoy it while you can. it is a true achievement. 🙏

    @vga256@dialup.cafe As much as I love Archive.org this is the type of threatened file for which personal data hoarding was invented. Your curatorial work is appreciated!

    (Yes, I consider deep-rummaging the internet to find an almost-lost file, and then publicizing its availability, to be the very quintessence of curation.)
