I'm about to step into the fictional world of Blade Runner 2049
not the film itself. What's happening today is a sequence that's being shot in the Blade Runner universe.
Specifically an underground market in Los Angeles in 2049.
The art department has converted a former granite quarry in Budapest Hungary
into this market in a record two and a half days
and they're shooting a scene in here with Dave Batista one of the actors of the film.
Here's the best part, at least for me. Um. They've given me a role in this sequence
I'm going to get costumed up by the art department and put in the scene and I get to film with Dave
I can barely wait. It's like a fantasy camp day
This is the wardrobe tent, at least one of them
Inside here thousands of pieces of clothing and costumer Martine. She is going to take a look at me,
assess the kind of person I might be and turn me into a merchant 32 years from now
Hi Martine 'Hello'
Hello 'Good to see you'
Good to see you, so I'm dressing up as a merchant or something 'As a merchant yes' Okay
A merchant by trade In the market'
Excellent
'So I was thinking we could do with something like that'
'because in our world it's always rainy cold'
Okay 'so the idea is to have many layers'
Excellent
'this'
'Over there' Over here
'Do you know what you're gonna be selling' I have no idea what I'm selling no, 'no idea oh ok'
Eyeballs
'You can always adjust also on set right?'
'Eyeballs!'
'Let me get you some boots' Okay, so can you tell me how do you?
Like you seem to be sort of like
Taking a look at each piece and adding sort of organically. Is that how I eat a lot of this costuming is going
'Yeah Cuz I mean, it's the balance between like you want to avoid to make it look too put together' mm-hmm
'But then you don't want to do also anything like it has to be in the spirit. Er That's what Renee imagined' right
'Her information that she gave us' So every everybody's just a little bit different, and we kind of we have to sculpt each one
'Yeah'
That's really cool
(inaudible)
Oh, Cool!
'Yeah'
Awesome
Beautiful
This, this is fantastic. Okay. I'm totally ready. I've been transported into the blade runner universe
Awesome, all right. Let's go shoot
"Enjoy the set"
I will I will Alright lets get to shooting
So now that I'm costumed up they told me what I'm going to be doing
I'm going to be a Merchant selling blood bags to a man named the Sultan while Dave Batista is attempting to sell his
Nematode worms to the guy. I might even get a line
Aah! We'll see
[snap of clapperboard]
Good work supper
'Sese'
'3000'
3000 that barely covers my nematoads
'At 3000 I'm already pushing it' come on so tell me you bought my blocks before
Nutrient-rich low imperious they're the best you're not going to get more than that
({inaudible} you what I'm in Turkish though) come on
4000
so there you have it
I got to play my little role inside the Bladerunner universe, selling blood to the Sultan next to Dave Bautista. They are wrapped
They're setting up for the next shot but I'm done, so I'm going to De-costume and step back into the present
Oh that Was super fantasy camp like amazing
