Not the most exciting prop in Blade Runner but i really liked it so thought i'd recreate one and share it with everyone here aswell.

Same questions as the original.



Notice the mother question? A few more interesting questions aswell.

Enjoy Smile

(The quality doesn't look as good because it's a Jpeg, if anyone wants a higher quality, i can upload a zip or something with a BMP file)

I could give it ago i guess, i wouldn't know what to put though Confused
Also, the version it shows on the PIH site is clearer than mine so might be better just to print theirs.

p.s
How about some VK blue prints for some of the other pages? I think some have already been done, but someone could write some technical details, another VK group effort Smile

Well done, Neil !!!


Maybe a VK logo on top of page would turn this into something more "official", don't you think ? (my 2 cents)

There is a logo on the back page of the original, not sure on the font but i could try and trace it in Illustrator.

I'm not sure what the front cover of the original was either, maybe it didn't have one? There's not alot of info on it Sad

Here's the info from the PIH page.

Quote:
(Warner Bros., 1982) The Voight-Kampff machine for many Blade Runner fans is the 'holy grail' prop from the film. This piece is the on-screen manual used by the Blade Runners to interrogate suspected Replicants. It is printed with many of the multiple choice questions fired at the suspected Replicants (as well as many unused questions) in both the opening scene and in the scene where Harrison Ford interviews another suspected Replicant. Ford can be seen referring to the manual while interviewing Sean Young using the Voight Kampff machine. The paperwork sits adjacent to the machine throughout the interview. This manual has a silver cover with black printed graphics reading “Voight Kampff”, and consists of approximately 30 printed pages (some repeats). This is the only manual from the production known to exist.

Somewhere I have a larger image of the cover which seemed to be printed on a silver cover stock, and had the stylized dated looking Voight Kampff in the lower right corner. The PiH site seems inaccessible right now. It was up for auction before at PiH at the same time as the police armour and Tyrell's robe.

I always thought it would be cool to take the questions from the scripts and DADoES, as well as the movie to fill some of the pages up. This could be a very cool project, but can we come up with over a hundred questions? Smile

I think we could, if we did a group effort.
With the knowledge around on here it'll be a piece of cake Smile

Yep, that's the one.
I was trying to draw out that logo on Illustrator but it's not that easy.
I'm not sure what the font is either, if it is a font that is.

I know I have it somewhere.
