dont know if this is the right place to ask,,

im watching blade runner right now.. but i stoped after have watched this..

whats so important about it?...

@Deathbringer99699 Deckard was looking at a photo from Leon's apartment. In the photo, Roy Batty is in the tub to the left. But on closer inspection, Deckard finds Zhora in another room and pictures of scales. He had found a scale in Leon's apartment. Deckard was then able to tie in that where he could find the owner of the scale, he could find Zhora.

why is he using a smal low definition CRT display?

[arielwollinger]

@venytonizidoro because this movie is old.

I love that someone would take the time to find this video and then dislike it.

[pallid56]

It's a bow to a similar scene in a film called Blow-Up (1966 !) where a photographer keeps enlarging images to find something very different than what he thought he was photographing.

[fluentinsilence]

I think what is more amazing than the Esper machine is the fact that Deckard knew to look in that incredibly microscopic area for a colored scale.

[TomSFox]

Man, that photo must have amazing dpi.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@TomSFox actually for this type of technology to work the photo would need to be a three dimensional image with incredibly high resolution and image enhancement imbedded into the photograph. it is virtually impossible to imprint a three dimensional image onto a two dimensional surface with ALL of the objects details imbedded onto the picture. it is good science FICTION though.

@SocratesTheGadfly Check out Jean-Francois Rauzier's website

Couple of things I've been confused about. 1: How did he find Zhora in the photo? Did he follow a reflection around a corner or zoom in really far into the mirror and see her behind whoever took the pic? 2.: Was did the photo do for him anyway? Why did he need to see Roy and Zhora in it? What did it do for him?

Hard to believe that we're about to get into the era where the fictional Esper becomes a reality: lytro.com

[popskism]

you know, when its science fiction, you cant complain about the realism on this. Its probably not even a photograph, as far as you know. Maybe it some silicon based reflecting substance that captured all the photons hitting the camera at the moment of capture and was then interpreted by a machine like the esper.

Go whine about enhance in csi videos, THOSE are hilarious.

[FreeTruthShow]

thought you might like a spoof i did of this scene with sound effect. thanks for posting your vid of this scene & than you windows moviemaker, phew

[MrHurricaneFloyd]

One can only assume that future photos encode extra information.

[orchdork7926]

Hold up. Skipping all of the normal reasons this is preposterous, did the machine actually understand what to do when he goes "hold on a minute"??? WAT.

[gennagiei]

look this

photosynth by microsoft

it's the same!

[SeedsofJoy]

Does anyone know the piece of music at the start of the clip?

[fogwatch]

@SeedsofJoy It's called memories of green

[DFRevelations]

Wait a second, they didn't even have IP adresses either! Your comment is full of nothing but lies!

[DFRevelations]

Visual basic didn't exist back then. If they used basic, it would have been IBM BASICA.

[rpapi100]

IMMA GONNA USE THIS GUI I MADE IN VISUAL BASIC TO TRACE THE BAD GUY'S IP ADDRESS, M'KAY???

DEUS MOTHERFLIPPIN' EX MACHINA!!!!!

Colonel Mustard did it. We see him in the reflection of the mirror.

[Snake711cool]

Gimme a hard copy right there

[whoppitt]

watch?v=KUFkb0d1kbU

[ninjamatic5000]

It's the future. shut the fuck up

[CrescentStudios]

LOL I love how he gets a picture of the woman in the bath when it's not actually visible in the first place :P beep beep beep beep beep chukachukachukachuka

[pinboyjorf]

this is the part where this film really hooked me.

[Digiman901]

It's just a 8 hundred tousand trillion gigapixels.

Nothing special.

[dssnider123]

polaroid metadata. totally doable

[GrandHighGamer]

CSI has nothing on this. Nothing.

[eXcommunicate1979]

Yeah, apparently polaroids are in 3D as well...

[pokersource]

If he got a bigger tv, he'd have no space left for his whiskey bottles. That's why.

[CaptainJen]

But why is his TV so small?

[StargateMunky]

@CaptainJen he's doing it on his ipad

[GreenAsJade]

@CaptainJen Because he's a lowly detective.
