Ok, let's have a try. What do I need if I want to contribute to Purefold ?

1. A massively popular contribution to top out FriendFeed and garner attention from the editorial team.

Just spotted this - sorry - we've been out and about a lot.

A friendfeed account and your imagination, is the short answer. Once we set off the feeds and initiatives, it will become really clear - if not really obvious. We're not pushing anything out yet until we have everything set up with the partners.

Ok, I stay tuned. I expect things to be sorted out within 2-3 months

Good question... it's all a bit nebulous.

I was told that I need a twitter account, but what else ?

Share this to Purefold Discussions and David Bausola/Zeroinfluencer for an answer from the horses mouth.

Don't you think that it is time for a poll ?
We have essentially 2 options: either you stick to BR, which remains a pessimistic and grim movie, or you may choose something more optimistic, like Star Trek, with its spadefuls of clichés: lasers, teleportation and robots obeying "laws". It seems to me that plenty of people here would prefer the second solution, hence a possible poll in order to make sure.

Ridley Scott also stated that he got his inspiration from some Films noirs, and from Métal hurlant.

Among the artists who published in this magazine, I would quote Bilal, Mœbius, and I think the unavoidable Philippe Druillet. http://www.druillet.com/galerie...

I suggest on the fly the Druillet's demented, baroque and psychedelic comics: The Lone Sloane's 6 journeys, Delirius, etc...

Those are great artists you cite there. If you watch the Dangerous Days documentary included in the extras of the definitive edition of Blade Runner, there's a very poignant talking head with Tony, Ridley's brother where he talks about their childhood in the north east of England, the smokestacks of the steel works and the French comic books he used to read. Tony's impression of Blade...

yes, I know this documentary... :-)

Even 37 years after its publication, the Lone Sloane's 6 journeys remains dazzling with its entrancing horror, its megalomania

Ah, another glitch in the open source model
we can't reckon the audience as a person with a unique and coherent mind. We, the audience, are rather a group of people with sometimes diametrically opposite tastes and options. So, you have to make a choice, and probably disappoint a large chunk of your audience.

BR remains a grim, pessimistic and desperate movie; in one word, a tragedy, and I love it for that. Perhaps you still regard it as a reference, but some people, if not most, would prefer something more optimistic, more tech-oriented, like Star Trek. So, eventually, you may satisfy me or them, but not both of us.

As Ridley Scott said himself in an interview, Blade Runner isn't turned towards the future, but towards the past.

Correct - that is the nature of all Science Fiction.

I would like, (and I'm not the only one) to have a real overall information about the purefold project, not just buzz, e.g. I don't even know if you intend to use real actors or mere 3D animations...
Both, as required. They wont be the only form of acting.
- zeroinfluencer
I wonder if the word "Blade Runner" has been merely used as a bait, and the purefold project will yield something quite different, i.e. video clips stuffed with ads. It seems to me that what made Blade runner so unique, is its atmosphere, its décors its dazzling music.

I watched your video, and you were essentially talking about purefold as a business model, not a word about the spirit of blade runner. If you are unable to understand that, you will disappoint your audience and your "product" will be driven to the purgatory of failure

Hey Skylender. You're right, the talk was based upon the business model - which is based upon the theme of the movie (what does it mean to be human) and how it relates to the deep human need to sharing - which we do through network communications. The movie gives many insights into what the future could be, coupled with it's unique aesthetic mix. Sorry we didn't labor the presentation...

Something is not very clear in this project, actually. What about the involved means, i.e. studio, actors, etc... ? If we are supposed to contribute to the story, we obviously need to know what are the granted possibilities...
Ok, I'll see on thursday what they intend to do.
