Follow the Path of Gaff!
In the 1982 film, Blade Runner, Gaff is a detective assigned to escort and follow the main character, Deckard, and to make sure he stays on task with his assignment. Throughout the film, Gaff functions as an observer and commentator who leaves behind origami figures as his record of what he observes in the main character. He creates a chicken, to express his skepticism in Deckard's courage to face his own fears. Later, he leaves a matchstick man to indicate he can see Deckard's romantic interest in the replicant Rachael. Finally, he leaves a unicorn to show the limitations and unreliability of memories. I added an ostrich to symbolize the artificial (fans of the film will remember an artificial ostrich being led through Animoid Row).
I have recreated these origami and scattered them throughout my four quadrant sets. Many are in the locations that Gaff was in during the film. Some are more difficult to find.
The first 5 people to find 12 of them and document where they found them (with a small render for each- can be low res) will win one of my models (of your choosing).
The first person to find ALL 20 will win a model of their choosing and they will be in my next release. (we'll discuss possibilities- a logo, avatar, etc).
Can you follow the path of Gaff and find them?
