Summary: Few cinematic objects are as iconic—and as frequently copied—as the legendary Spinner. In this episode (our first Tech Spotlight!), Dan and Patrick go in-depth on the beloved vehicle, delving into its astonishingly believable appearance in Blade Runner, its evolved design(s) in Blade Runner 2049, and beyond. And using Dan's background in air traffic control, they pick apart the actual flight sequence in Blade Runner in a level of detail you need to hear to believe. Below are two examples of a PAR (Precision Approach Radar) scope, mentioned in the scene where Gaff's spinner is descending over the LAPD roof following instructions from air traffic control. // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.perfectorganism.com. // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.perfectorganism.com/support.
