How To: Green Screen for Interpreted Videos ⎮ ASL Stew - Duration: 12:11.

[JI] Hello, I'm Jill.

This is ASL Stew.

(♪electronic music♪)

So today... I am filming in front of a green screen.

Now, this green screen is actually painted on the wall.

So what I am going to do is show you how to

use this green screen to make interpreted videos.

Kind of like what I showed you in my e-portfolio.

where I was standing there and I had the video in the background.

So I'm going to show you that scenario.

Obviously you need to have a green screen.

This one has a specific color,

which I can try to find the name of the color.

If I can, I'll leave it down below in the description

or something close to it.

But you can paint like I did which is a more permanent solution

because previously this was used as our filming room and that was it.

So we could paint it and it was cheap.

Now we are actually changing it to a nursery

so that means we're going to cover this up.

So I will have to purchase a green screen.

If I do buy one then I will go ahead

I will let you know maybe on ASL (Stew) Life and give you a review.

But, now I'm going to film this

and then I will use this and show you on the editing page what to do.

So now I'm going to transition to the editing screen with the bubble interpreter!

OK, so now I'm going to show you the editing part

of using the green screen for making interpreting videos.

Umm, now the video that I'm going to put up here in the corner

and what I'm saying are not going to coincide.

Just because I didn't actually record myself interpreting something,

but you'll get the point of what you do and what it looks like.

So, I set up a new project in Final Cut Pro (X).

So you just go into File, which you can't see what I'm clicking.

But you'll go into File, click New,

and then you'll click Event, you'll download your video,

and then once you have your event, you'll set up a new Project.

So I just set up a new project and here is the clip that I downloaded.

So just click and drag it into the screen.

I'll just show you here.

Then as you can see here, I do have audio.

So if you're doing what I normally do,

which is interpreting, and you want to use the audio from the video clip,

then you'll just double click on your trackpad,

detach the audio, click and hit the Delete key.

That gets rid of your audio.

But I'm going to delete this clip because we already have it here.

This is just the introduction.

The rest of this is where I would put the video.

So what I am going to do is

I'm just going to use one of my videos to demonstrate.

But you can take a video from online if it's public domain

or a video that you've made yourself

or that someone else has made that you can permission to use,

and download the video.

So I'm just gonna go into our most recent vlog

which is "So Much Paint!".

Which is on the ASL Stew Life channel if you haven't seen it.

I'm gonna take this clip because it has good lighting.

I'm just gonna take the whole clip

and I'm just gonna drag it and stick it ON TOP of the other clip.

So now let's go back to our video.

So as you can see, if I move the cursor,

you're only seeing the vlog video until

here we go we're seeing the green screen again.

So just put your cursor somewhere right in the middle of the video right here

and when I click on the video, you're going to notice there's this button here.

This is the Transform button.

So I'm going to click the video so it's yellow.

I'm going to click the Transform button

and then you're going to have these little dots.

So you can squish the video if you'd like.

I'm going to click Edit at the top and Undo that.

But what I'm going to do is click it in the corner,

click and drag it in to make it smaller.

OK, and then I'm gonna click and move it.

So normally when I film on a green screen,

I always make sure that I'm filming a little bit over here and off to the side.

That way I can make the video itself kind of...

let's say about this size.

Then I'm over here interpreting,

but this is just a demonstration so it doesn't matter how big the video is.

So I'm just gonna make it about yeah big. OK?

So now we have our video, the one that we'd be interpreting for

and the green screen of what we're interpreting for.

Now, normally you'd have to sync these together.

So I would go through and let's say I'm talking here

blah, blah, blah... you'd have to sync these two.

So you'd have to kind of take this clip and move it to about here

or to about here or whatever.

So you would have to sync the videos up

which really isn't that hard.

So you just go down here... so let's say it started saying

"Hi, my name is Jill..." and here it took me a minute,

I just kind of move my cursor until I'm ready

and then that's about that.

So syncing them is not too hard.

So, as you can see here... (garbled audio)

there's audio on this top clip

and that's the audio that you want to use.

When you are recording yourself on the green screen part,

there's going to be audio on there because

you're normally listening to the video.

So make sure you take the audio off of the green screen video

and leave it on the original video. OK?

So I'll do that for now.

So now we still have this green screen

which we don't want as the background for our video.

So what I'm going to do is

I'm coming over here to the bottom right corner

and I have a little button here, it says Show or Hide The Effects Browser.

So let's say if it was clicked on this one, you're gonna click on this.

Then it's gonna say Video.

You're gonna go down to where it say Keying, K-E-Y-I-N-G, Keying.

There's two options.

I'm going to pick, just Keyer.

So there's Luma and there's Keyer. I'm going to take the Keyer.

As you can see, it shows a preview of what it's gonna look like.

So I'm going to click and drag it onto the green screen part of the video.

So now it takes away the green screen.

This right here, this static looking,

that's because I had a shadow when I was filming.

So be careful about that to avoid shadows,

but ours was just a quick demonstration. So that's why it is there.

So now I need to add a background

because I don't want to have a black background.

So I'm going to come up to the top left

and it has a little "T" button here.

It says Titles and Generators. I'm going to click that.

Go to the Generators and I have all of these options that you can pick.

So I want something pretty neutral.

So I'm going to pick the Organic background.

So it's going to look kind of like this.

Or you can just pick Paper...

you want something that's pretty neutral.

Pinstripes would be OK, even Retro,

but I'm going to pick the Organic.

We're going to click and we're going to drag it UNDER the green screen video.

So don't put it here. I'll show you what it looks like.

If you put it in between, it's going to....

cover up the green screen which we don't want.

So I'm going to take it and move it UNDER the green screen.

I'm going to drag it out so it matches our video.

As you can see, now I have a background behind me.

So I'll just let it play for a few seconds.

I'm just going to disable the umm... get rid of the audio here

just so that you don't hear background noise.

So this is what it's going to look like now.

OK?

So, as you can see, this is what it would look like

if you set up an interpreted video.

So you would have your main video playing here.

You would have yourself interpreting here.

Then you would have your background.

Again, you can change out this background.

If you wanted something that's darker,

click, hold, and Replace.

Then just drag it out

and then you have a different background.

As you can see, this one doesn't look good for interpreting

just because it's got all the dots on it.

If you wanted to, you could literally just have a black background.

If that's what you wanted.

Again, it's just gonna kind of depend on your preference,

but I didn't like it because it had the static.

So I'm going to go back to the Organic.

I feel that one had the best option for me.

So Replace and then just.... there you go!

So, that is pretty much what you do.

Then from there you can add on any effects you want to.

If you want to put a watermark on here, you can do that.

Umm... again, sync up your video

so that your video and your interpreting match.

You can make the interpreting video lag a little bit

to mimic more of a natural interpretation

OR you can, because it's pre-recorded,

you can take the interpreted video

and sync it so it's literally almost in real time with what the video is saying.

So it doesn't really look like an interpretation.

It looks more like somebody is signing and talking right at the same time.

So there's no lag.

Uh, talking and signing at the same time so there's no lag.

So, that's pretty much what you do.

I hope you guys have enjoyed this video.

If you have any other questions about what to do for the video...

like I said if you guys really want to see how to do this in iMovie,

let me know. That's a little bit trickier.

Final Cut Pro X is definitely worth it

if you do any sort of video editing.

It's a little bit expensive,

but you definitely get your "bang for your buck" as they say.

Sonoma County Real Estate Market Update, May 2017 - Duration: 4:38.

The May real estate market numbers are in and we are in full swing of the peak buying

season.

If you are curious as to what is happening in the Sonoma County real estate market? Stay tuned.

Paul Brelin Century 21 NorthBay Alliance www.PaulBrelin.com

Hi, this is Paul Brelin of Century 21 NorthBay Alliance helping you to achieve your real estate dreams and goals.

. This channel will inform and educate you on

all things real estate in Sonoma County, including market updates like this one.

In this video, we'll be taking a look at

where May median home values went in Sonoma County and drill down to what home prices

are doing in your local area as well.

But before we do that let take a quick look

at interest rates.

Interest rates are staying at 2017 lows.

The fed just raised interest rates a quarter of a percent.

There is no need to freak out here.

The Fed rate hike only effects short term interest rates between banks and most likely

will not directly effect what buyers will pa for financing.

The last time the Fed raised interest rates, mortgage rates trended down.

So lets all take a breath and carry on. Ok, let's see how the market has done in

May.

In Sonoma County as a whole we are seeing

median home prices trend up .5% month-over-month and 7.64% year-over-year.

As a reminder, median home prices are an indicator what price point the pool of buyers are most

interested in.

The average time it took to sell a home in

May was a brisk 47 days, down from 55 days in April.

A year ago in May, homes sold in average of 58 days, indicating that the hyper-sellers

market continues to intensify over time.

On average, homes got 100% of the seller's

asking price in May, down from 101% of the asking from in March.

"New listings" trended down 14% month-over-month

and down 28% year-over-year.

"Homes sold" trended up 19% month-over-month

and down 7% year-over-year.

Ok, let's see what is happening in your

local area.

Music please.

This wraps up my May Market update for Sonoma

County.

Go ahead and subscribe if you like my videos and share them with anyone in Sonoma County

who cares about what is happening in the local real estate market.

I hope you use this information to make the

best decisions for yourself and your family going forward.

And remember, the agent you use, matters.

PHOTO EVIDENCE: John McCain Officially Joins The Dem Party – Is He a Traitor? | Top Stories Today - Duration: 3:13.

Millions of Americans have been suffering high deductibles and premiums under Obamacare

for years.

They were counting on Senate Republicans to do the right thing and vote a repeal through,

but we have been BETRAYED!

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), long ago made himself an enemy of the American people.

Now he's officially joined the Democrats and Progressives.

Traitor John McCain just stabbed millions of American voters in the back.

He gave the decisive "no" vote that keeps Obamacare in place, reported The Daily Caller.

Afterward, the smiling McCain went and celebrated with the Democrats on the Senate floor–all

caught on camera!

For years, we've been fighting for the moment when a Republican House, Senate, and Presidency

could finally eliminate the monstrosity that is Obamacare.

It seemed like we were finally about to get it.

McCain, 80, is insufferable.

Old age has caught up with him.

He couldn't even come up with a good excuse for letting the American people down.

He cited "bipartisanship" as his reason for voting "no" on the "skinny" repeal

bill.

While the skinny repeal bill wasn't as comprehensive as the initial Obamacare repeal bill–which

McCain also voted against, it still removed some of the most burdensome measures of Obama's

signature policy.

For instance, it would have gotten rid of the individual mandate, with its disastrous

and immoral penalty.

It would also have eliminated the employer mandate for eight years and given states greater

flexibility, CNN reported.

It's what conservatives across the country want.

It's what Republican lawmakers promised on the campaign trail–but McCain was never

actually a conservative.

Remember, he loves calling himself a "maverick."

The word "maverick" seems to be code for "opportunist."

McCain plays both sides of the aisle.

He's not in it for the American people.

He's in it for himself.

If John McCain is such a fan of bipartisanship, why does he favor a program that was passed

without a single Republican vote?

If McCain really wanted bipartisanship, the sensible move would be to repeal Obamacare

(which is anything but a bipartisan law) and then work across the aisle in coming up with

a replacement.

We all know what's going on: John McCain is bought and paid for by the same globalist

interests as the Democrats.

Traitor McCain threw the election to Obama in 2008.

By doing that, he allowed the creation of Obamacare.

Now, he's preserved his baby.

All the years of complaining about the ACA was a sham; a lie.

McCain's vote to repeal while Obama was still in office was nothing but a ruse.

McCain never wanted to get rid of it.

He's the biggest enemy Americans have in the Senate, and he's the perfect example

of why we need term limits.

One has to wonder if he were forced to receive his cancer treatment through Obamacare, would

he have voted for a repeal then?

Should traitor John McCain be forced to use Obamacare himself?

Sonoma County Real Estate Market Update & Home Market Forecast, June 2017 - Duration: 4:33.

Welcome to my June Sonoma County Real Estate Market update and home value forecast.

You don't want to miss this one. Stay tuned.

Paul Brelin Century 21 NorthBay Alliance www.PaulBrelin.com

Hey what's up ya all, this is Paul Brelin of Century 21 NorthBay Alliance helping you

to achieve your real estate dreams and goals.

This channel will inform and educate you on all things real estate in Sonoma County, including

market updates like this one.

In this video, we'll be taking a look at where median home values went in Sonoma County

last month and drill down to what home prices are doing in your local area as well.

In this mid-year update I've included Zillow's forecasts' for the year ahead.

First let take a quick look at interest rates.

Good news for buyers, interest rates are trending down and hovering around 2017 lows.

It is a misconception that some folks have out there that a Federal Reserve interest

rate hikes translates into higher interest rates for home buyers needing financing.

Ok, let's see how the market has done in June.

I've included median home prices as well as average home prices in these charts for

comparison.

For this update, I'm primarily concerned with median home values.

In Sonoma County as a whole we are seeing median home prices trend up .63% month-over-month

and 12.85% year-over-year.

As a reminder, median home prices are an indicator what price point the buyers are most interested

in.

On average, homes got 98% of the seller's asking price last month and is unchanged both

month-over-month and year-over-year.

On average it took 51 days to sell a home, up slightly month-over-month and flat year-over-year.

Home for Sale, Sold and Pending are all trending up month-over-month but curiously new listings

trended down 24.4% month-over-month which, if that trend continues, will further tighten

up an already tight supply of inventory which is sitting at 1.7 months.

In other words, if we stopped listing homes today, we would be sold out of homes in 1.7

months.

This is knows as a hyper-sellers market.

Let's take a look at some of Zillow's trend forecasting charts.

According to the wizards at Zillow: Sonoma County home values have increased 7.3%

from a year ago and is expected to have a 1.8% rise over the coming year.

More geographically specific: Santa Rosa home values have increased 6.9%

year-over-year and is expected to rise 1.8% over the coming year.

Forestville home values have increased 9.9% year-over-year and is expected to rise 2.2%

over the coming year.

Healdsburg home values have increased 5.3% year-over-year and is expected to rise 1.7%

over the coming year.

Oakmont home values have increased 9.4% year-over-year and is expected to rise 1.6% over the coming

year.

Penngrove home values have increased 6.5% year-over-year and is expected to rise 1.7%

over the coming year.

Petaluma home values have increased 8.3% year-over-year and is expected to rise 2% over the coming

year.

Rohnert Park home values have increased 8.2% year-over-year and is expected to rise 2.2%

over the coming year.

Sebastopol home values have increased 7.8% year-over-year and is expected to rise 2.1%

over the coming year.

Sonoma home values have increased 3.1% year-over-year and is expected to rise 1.6% over the coming

year.

Windsor home values have increased 5.9% year-over-year and is expected to rise 1.7% over the coming

year.

This wraps up my May Market update for Sonoma County.

Transgender Military Ban | Matt Karnuk - Duration: 4:32.

Hey, everyone it is Matt Karnuk um so right now

It's the morning well for me, and I was say good morning, but at the moment. It's not really feeling like quite

What I would call a good morning, and I will explain

Why in a moment

So I was originally planning to make a video talking about why I didn't upload

anything within like I think like the past week and

Um I actually stopped the Thursday after the last Wednesday

I uploaded and I do have a reason for it which I can't tell you guys the reason for that. It's a little bit

It's a little bit personal within my family, and there's just some things going on and it's just

It's been really emotional and it's been kinda stressful, and it's just something I need to get through and soon. I'm going to be moving out and

After that hopefully things will be a whole lot better. I just need to get myself into a different environment

It's been

because of that

It's been a struggle to do what I do because of I don't know like it's just

Sometimes I feel really motivated and then other times it just makes it so hard

but hopefully we'll be getting past that really soon, so

unfortunately today our

President Donald Trump

tweeted something that absolutely

boils my blood to the extreme and I

Thought I would talk about it because it

personally it's making me upset and I

have a very big opinion on this and I'm

I'm just not happy like it. Just's I woke up in a good mood

I saw that and then it went right back down so as usual. He's always always tweeting something okay, so in trump's tweets. He says

Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the us military our military

must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical cost and

disruption that the

Transgender in the military would entail thank you

Okay, first of all

Trump

Transgender people are not a burden in any type of way

And you saying that is going to make every single

Transgender child teen out there think this you're got like

what if you are part of the lGBTQ community in any way actually no way it really doesn't matter if you're

freaking human at this point

I hope you know that you're not just some

Problem to the world and just because you have this or that as part of your life. It does not make you a

problem

everyone has things are a part of them that makes us different or make our lives harder or

Might make parts of our lives more expensive, or it might hold us down

Or I don't know like there's just there's all kinds of things out there, but it doesn't mean that. It's a problem

Transgender people have the right to be who they are no matter

What field is they decide to be in and does that matter what they're doing they have the right to be a part of it

and for

someone to

Take away all of this from a person is just wrong

It's bad enough that now school systems. Don't have to protect transgender

students, and

It's just I feel like that everything's being taken away from Transgender people right now

And is it honestly is making me really upset and we need to change this like immediately this video was probably all over the place

I'm just really emotional. I feel like a mess. I haven't made a video and

feel like a week, and I've been like trying to decide what to do next or what to say because it's just

It's just been crazy lately, honestly it really has been if you actually understood anything

I was trying to say in this video because I don't remember the past like five minutes at all

Please give a big thumbs up make sure to subscribe

I make videos every Wednesday and Thursday, and I'm going to do my best to keep up with that and

Somewhere around the end of august that should be everything should be fine. I promise everything will be okay, all right

Well, I will see you guys next time. I hope you enjoyed this and maybe you'll enjoy others

I don't know alright peace bye

"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" / "Blade Runner" - Badaptations (Chapter 3) - Duration: 20:02.

Hello, and welcome to Badaptations

[Record Scratch] Hi and welcome to . . . Cataptations [Laughter]

[Badaptations cover of "One More Kiss Dear"]

[Badaptations theme song still playing in background] This time we will be reviewing

*Blade Runner* the film, *Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?* the novel and . . .

there goes the cat.

We thought this would be timely as *Blade Runner 2049* is coming out this year

[Epic music, gun shots]

Um, I don't know if I'll be seeing that one. I don't have high hopes for it.

Stephanie: No, but if you see it and you absolutely love it, send us some kind of message (send us

a messenger pigeon) and let us know that it was awesome and something we should check out.

[Trailer for *Blade Runner 2049*] [woman's voice] "You bought a war"

[Harrison Ford]: "What do you want?"

We'll start off as we usually do with a really quick summary

So, I'm gonna talk about the film first. It was released in 1982; directed by Ridley Scott,

starring Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, Sean Young as Rachael Rosen, and Daryl Hannah

as Pris. But, basically Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter and he is hired to kill replicants

(which is different from the book). But his job is to administer this empathy test which

is called the Voight-Kampff and if they fail then they're an android or . . . replicant

(sorry, that's gonna get confusing). If they fail the test they're a replicant and

it's okay for him to then kill them.

The reason there are replicants is that we're in a post apocalyptic, radioactive, like mess

of an America.

So, people have been given replicants as an incentive to go off-world so if any replicants have

gotten back to earth it's because they must have killed their masters.

But that's sort of the backdrop there. They're considered criminals, they're super strong,

and they're pretty intelligent.

One of the replicants is Roy Baty. And he's the leader. We also have Rachael Rosen who

we find out is a replicant with synthetic memory (so she didn't know she's a replicant).

And we also have Pris Stratton who's basically like a sex bot.

The film is about Rick hunting down all of the replicants and at the end he has his

final face-off with Roy Baty.

[Stephanie] The book, which was published in 1968, called *Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?*

was written by Philip K. Dick (who is a prolific science fiction novelist).

I have never read this book and I never saw the movie. And I just watched the movie and

read the book so that we could do this.

The book still has most of the characters, but in different iterations. Rick Deckard

is still a bounty hunter, but instead of hunting replicants he's hunting androids or "andys"

are what they're called (kind of a demeaning term).

Rick has a wife who's not in the movie. Her name is Iran [Stephanie messes up pronunciation]

but it's spelled like the country (Iran).

And then there's another character who has a different name, his name is Johnny Isidore.

[Amy] I don't know if he's given a different name?

[Stephanie] He is. It's J. F. Sebastian

[*Blade Runner* film clip] [J.F Sebastian] "What's your name?" [Pris] "Pris."

[Sebastian] "Mine's J.F. Sebastian."

[Stephanie]: So Isidore brings up questions about intelligence and disability.

So there are "antheads" and "chickenheads" and those designations simply say what the

level of intelligence a person is and determines whether they can get out of this toxic environment

that's on earth and go and immigrate up to Mars where it's better apparently . . . but

not really better, and this is where the androids come in who are escaping from Mars and their

positions of servitude.

There are six that have escaped. I'm gonna name them because we talk about them and they're

different (the names are different) from the movie.

There is Roy Baty, there's Irmgard Baty (I will put that on the screen because I know

I'm pronouncing that wrong), and then there's Pris, Luba Luft . . . and . . . yeah, so there

are six that Rick has to hunt down and so he's also interacting with the Rosen Corporation,

because they designed these very complex androids who blend in seamlessly with society, to figure

out if his test, the Voight-Kampff, would actually work to suss them out rather than

accidently pointing out a human.

And so, Rachael Rosen is there, but she plays a very different role with Rick and the book

actually ends not with Rick interacting with Rachael as much (Rachael gets some good revenge

which we'll talk about at the end)

[Vintage film reel bleeping]

[full Badaptations cover of "One More Kiss Dear"]

[Stephanie] But it actually ends with Iran, Rick's wife, dealing with Rick's

kind of breakdown and his desire for an animal that has been kind of ripped away from him.

Animals are also a status symbol in society. So there are electric and real ("real")

animals because, like Amy said, they're extinct.

And so, this is a motivating factor in the book that really shows the reader why Rick

is going after androids even when he's starting to question the ethics and morality of

killing the androids.

And so he only has an electric sheep which is where the title come[s] from. But his electric

animals are very, very lifelike. They get sick, and they can almost die, and it's

almost to the point where you mistake real from fake.

[Amy] You talk about ersatz a lot which is supposedly inferior quality, but like really

hard to tell, and so that's the whole point with the androids; it's not just a book

about robots, it's more about humans and how we define what it is to be a human.

[Stephanie] In the book you have this very interesting spectrum where the androids (which

are almost human-like) have a lesser position in society and can be willingly killed versus

the animals (which are almost taking priority over humans.)

[Amy] Anyways, the book takes place in one day. He [Rick] has already retired three andys.

So he started out with Polokov, and then he finds Luba Luft.

[Stephanie] Luba in the book. In the movie she is Zhora and she does a sexual snake act-

[Amy] She's an exotic dancer- [Stephanie] And it's because of the snake

that Rick even finds her. So, the replicants in the movie are pretty sexualized.

[Amy] The *female* replicants. Especially since Luba Luft is, in the book, she is

an opera singer. So that's symbolic of high society.

Can androids dream? Is one of the questions he [Rick] asks and he says well, Luba must

have dreamt because she wanted to be an opera singer. So she came to earth so she could be that.

So she's very much high culture which plays against our expectations of androids. We think

that high culture is reserved for humans: not animals, not machines. We don't get

that in the film. They're just sex slaves.

It is commentary in a different way though, in saying that men create women replicants

only for sex.

The death scene of Zhora is she . . . she's only had time to put on this clear . . . [laughing]

who owns a clear plastic raincoat except for like Hannibal . . . but, she puts on this

clear plastic raincoat and so Rick shoots her out on the street and her

basically naked body is splayed out for everyone to see.

Rick Deckard realizes that there's a flaw in the Voight-Kampff [which] is that they don't

test empathy toward androids. Deckard realizes he's starting to empathize with, well, only

the female (the sexy) androids.

He kind of decides he's- after this he's not gonna retire andys anymore but of course

he's still got three left to kill.

[Stephanie] Rachael is, plays a role in the book in helping track these andys down but

it's very different because in the movie it's played up as this god awful romance

thing. In the book . . . [Amy] She actually is the one manipulating

him and sleeping with him

[Amy] In the film there's a rape scene. They try to play it off not as a rape scene,

but it's clearly. . . um Rick Deckard is . . . he throws Rachel up against a wall

[Stephanie] And he blocks her from getting out and she's trying to leave. He like blocks

the door.

[Amy] And the way that they try to justify it is that she can't feel emotion so she

can't act upon emotions even if she wanted to.

In the book Rachael is like a bounty hunter for the androids because when she goes to

Rick and they rent a hotel room she manipulates him into sleeping with her because she says

afterwards: No bounty hunter (except for one, Phil Resch) has been able to retire andys

after having slept with me.

So she's seeing to retire Rick as a bounty hunter.

[Stephanie] She knows she an android in the book. In the movie it's this sad, sad recognition.

She has like a little picture of her family that she brings to Rick and she's like See,

I, I, do have a family and I'm a person and I'm real; and then he breaks it to her

and she's sad and she can't handle it.

[Amy] We also don't have the whole Mercerism plot which sort of is this religion, pseudo

religion in the book where [Stephanie] If, like, LSD, Scientology, and

Christianity were mixed together in a pot and then baked in an oven, Mercerism would

come out.

[Amy] I guess the main point is that androids can't fuse with Mercer even the "chickenheads,"

the "specials," the people who have been deemed sub-intelligent humans, they can still

fuse with Mercer which proves that they're still human because they have empathy.

[Stephanie] And Deckard is actually just a step above being considered a "special."

So, Johnny Isidore is "chickenhead" level and so the names are indicating the size of the brain.

[Amy] Isidore is the special, but he actually has more empathy than Rick Deckard.

Isidore finds a spider, brings it in to show Pris who he's kind of like got a crush on.

And Pris is like do they need so many legs and Irmgard is like well, let's see what happens.

[Stephanie] So they cut the legs . . . it becomes a science experiment. It's an empathy

exam in this book.

[Amy] Pris and the Batys are saying like We're not treated like humans; meanwhile they're

mutilating this spider.

[Stephanie] So in the book Pris actually . . . again because it's a dystopic world . . . there

are a bunch of abandoned buildings and so Isidore lives by himself in this large, concrete

awful, decaying- it's called . . .

[Amy] Kippleized

[Stephanie] Kipple, yeah! So Isidore lives with a ton of kipple in this building and

so he's just been moving because he's figured out a way to combat it so he can live

in different spaces. And one day he notices that somebody else is there and it's Pris.

And when he first meets Pris she actually introduces herself as Rachael and the description

that's given to the reader reads as Rachael's description.

She has long, beautiful eyelashes and big eyes, so she is the Rachael model and she's

even using Rachael's name, but she's definitely not Rachael, she's Pris.

[Amy] In the film, she's like out on the streets and she's decided to cover herself

with trash (she's basically homeless) and Isidore finds her. I think he's . . .

I don't really know what he's doing but he builds little creatu- toys

[Stephanie] They're so creepy. [Amy] They are very creepy.

[Stephanie] It's the creepiest scene humanly possible. Besides making really creepy doll

things he also designs the replicants.

[Amy] Rick Deckard knows that Pris is hiding out in this apartment. So, he goes to find

Pris, she's disguised herself as a doll because of all those toys.

It's this amazing scene. There's a closeup on her eyes. I think eyes are a really important

symbol.

[Stephanie] The replicant eyes glow, including the owl, which is a replicant. And then the

non replicant eyes don't glow, so Harrison Ford's eyes don't glow. So that's one

way you can tell if they're replicants or not.

[*Blade Runner* clip] music boxes playing, toy laughing

[Stephanie] She like tries to kill him with her vagina basically

[Amy] Yeah, yeah, she launches her vagina at his face.

[*Blade Runner clip] (Pris attacks Rick in the abandoned apartment)

Roy is the creature from Frankenstein; Frankenstein's monster. He meets his creator!

[*Blade Runner* clip] "I want more life, father."

[Amy] So one thing about the replicants and the androids is that they have a very limited

timespan.

[Stephanie] They're [the humans] afraid that they're [the replicants] gonna become

empathetic and emotional if they let them go past a certain time. They wouldn't be

able to tell if they're replicants or not. In the book their motivation . . . the androids'

motivation is to come down and escape this really awful enslavement and in the movie

they just want that extra time is their big motivation.

[Amy] Tyrell gives this sort of bullshit explanation

[*Blade Runner* clip] [Tyrell] "You were made as well as we could make you." [Roy

Baty] "But not to last." [Tyrell] "The light that burns twice as bright burns half

as long, and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy."

[Amy] The replicants are more intelligent, they're faster, they're stronger,

[Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" in background] so for some reason they have to

die faster too. [Music stops] And Roy kind of for a moment seems to like accept

that and then . . .

[*Blade Runner* clip] [Roy] "Nothing the god of biomechanics wouldn't let you in heaven for..."

(Music intensifies)

[Stephanie] It's like Daddy Issues the Movie

[*Blade Runner* clip] Vangelis's "One More Kiss, Dear" plays

[Amy] In any case Roy is the last one left other than Rachael. And there's this chase

throughout the house.

[Stephanie] He takes his clothes off and there's no reason

[Amy] There is no reason

[Stephanie] It's just gratuitous man porn

[Blade Runner clip] Roy: "I can see you!" *howls*

[Amy] Rick makes it to the roof, Roy sees him there, and Rick is now hanging off the

edge of the roof, but Roy pulls him back up.

[Blade Runner clip: Roy hoists Rick back onto the roof] [Cinematic synth music in the background]

We get *the* most iconic scene; *the* most

famous scene from the film which is the "Tears in the Rain" monologue.

[*Blade Runner* clip] [Roy] "I watched C-brams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

[Amy] [it's] sort of a moment where the audience is supposed to, well, finds empathy with Roy,

right? [talking to Stephanie] You didn't find it?

[Stephanie] Oh my god, I hated this scene so much! This was like, ugh! Where the fuck

does a dove come from?

[Amy] Yeah, the dove is a bit like 80's films.

[Stephanie] *Where* does the dove come from!? Just gonna throw that out there. It like bashes

you over the head with the symbolism.

[Amy] Yeah, the symbolism is that he is like somehow started to become empathetic or something

because only humans are empathetic with animals.

[*Blade Runner* clip] rain and light music in background, no dialogue

[Amy] So, I think I know what you're gonna rate this film. What did you think?

[Stephanie] Before I get a bunch of hate mail because I know how iconic and beloved this

film is . . . I like sci-fi movies for the most part, I don't read a lot of sci-fi

like Amy because I don't study it, but, I mean . . . I loved Alien so, but this movie

I was just watching it and I kept thinking to myself How many times do I have to watch

it before I really fall in love with it? Uh, Harrison Ford is just playing Harrison Ford

and he hasn't stopped playing Harrison Ford since . . . Star Wars (so . . . I don't

know, maybe mix it up a little). This film seemed like a really weak, watered down, take

out some plots and stick it all together behind this beautiful, amazing scenery and so I can

appreciate the scenery and I think that is something that saves the film but the plot

itself . . . god, what, I don't . . . what, what was that? What did I watch? What did

I watch? Help me out, because I still am not like . . . write me a really long letter and tell me why I should

love the plot of this film and I will read it and I will re-watch it.

Badaptation just because it was, I didn't enjoy it as a film, it wasn't that enticing

or interesting, and it just did a really poor job with whatever source material Dick had,

it didn't take the interesting bits except that dystopic scenery.

[Amy] I mean I'm going back and forth because there's so much complexity that the book

has time to put in that the film just can't do. The reason I'm going to give it a more favorable

rating is one: just to be contrary, but two: it's because I think the film and all the

people who made the film were very conscious that they're not just doing a straight adaptation

so that makes it hard for us to grade it because it's not trying to be like the book. Like

it changed a lot of names, it changed the *name* of the film.

[Stephanie] Remember, you study sci-fi, so you have the whole weight of the science fiction

community

[Amy] Exactly, I'm gonna give it a Goodaptation because otherwise my advisor is gonna kill me in my sleep

Goodaptation, but with a lot of reservations

so, I mean, I think that rape scene is... I think if I watch it [the film] again I'm gonna have

to fast forward through it. I really like the costuming. I think that's iconic. Costuming

gives you a lot more commentary then even like the dialogue does.

So I mean, I think, yeah, I'm gonna give it a Goodaptations mainly based on how the film looks

which sounds bad - it sounds very shallow - but it has had such a big influence on science fiction.
