The blimp is a wonderful image. It's the height of technology gone mad.
It's part future and part past. The concept of this big dumb thing floating
over the city - using that as a way of advertising in the future is a
wonderful idea. |
Above: Blimp advertisements used to attract people to live Off-World - "the chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure." |
Top: Syd Mead's design for the bustling city of the future in the year 2019. Left: The Blimp booms out its Off-World advertisements while Deckard awaits a place at the noodle bar. The blimp, a miniature model about six-feet long, was manufactured by the technicians at Entertainment Effects Group, where the animated sign and its messages were also created. |
