GTA IV Footage Is Used To Create Blade Runner-Inspired Short Film

Directed by Parisian filmmaker Benjamin Bardou, it uses CGI from the video game to create a series of swooping, brooding images that are all about a mood rather than a definite narrative. A pervading sense of uneasiness, foreboding, and the ambience of Blade Runner is created through the droning sounds of Scottish musician Steve Moore’s track “Logos” and the computer imagery of Liberty City.

i'm confused as to how this has a narrative at all (other than the video title + description. how does this have anything to do with the short story??)

i think i'll just watch blade runner, thanks.

It doesn't really have anything to do with Blade Runner beyond name-checking it as an influence.

Pretty neat though!

I liked it a lot. It actually inspired me to start writing some music.
