These images are part of the enormous work developed by modeling models and 3D modeling, to create the variegated atmosphere of the city of Blade Runner 2049.
"This was a passion project for our crew, who are huge fans of Ridley Scott's iconic 1982 original."
They hand made in Wellington, New Zealand, and they crafted huge miniature sets that were then filmed by cinematographer Alex Funke. The team of conceptual designers at Design Studio helped to shape the director's vision.
Take a look at your work and then go see the movie.
