CGI = Computer Generated Image….this includes computer altered and purely computer generated images, and includes still and moving images. Perhaps it’s not an industry term anymore, it’s still an English term/phrase I used properly according to every reference I can find.

I’ve offered multiple citations backing that up.

Can you offer any backing up your contention that there’s really no such thing as cgi? Since CG only counts for 3d computer generated objects, what do YOU call computer altered images like aged actors and lighting effects (Blade Runner) on photos/film etc? Can you offer a citation to back you up? The dictionary calls that CGI.

It may be silly to call it that, but not as silly as this argument.
Remember, the CGI tag was there to indicate this was not some attempt to fool people into believing it was real, as you originally accused. So was FX. They both served their purpose, although they had to be pointed out.
Remember, you also wanted to quibble over whether this was “art” as if your liking it or it taking a substantial amount of work to create was the measure.
Now you want to quibble over a lay term that was ONLY intended as an obvious clue that this was altered.

Why?

I’ve explained multiple times why I posted it. If you still don’t know why, you have a comprehension problem, because I was quite clear. I thought it was pretty.

I think you just wanted to gripe.

BTW, bro didn’t take the job at Lucas, and regretted it immediately. He was running a few egghead stores at the time and thought his future was in computer sales. He still works with computers, has been building them since the 70’s (Apple 2) and runs his own server farm and is his own ISP. He stopped making computer art a while ago.

this looks really cheap and only connected to blade runner by the thinnest of aesthetic threads. i hope i'm wrong.

Musk has called his vehicle the "Blade Runner truck"

Source please. I can't find anything that says he mentions Blade Runner regarding the car.

I read it was from The James Bond Car (Lotus) in the movie The Spy Who Loved Me. A car he purchased at auction. https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cybertruck-inspired-james-bond-lotus-elon-musk-won-auction-2019-11

I have to agree. It still looks like a prototype. On the other hand, it will probably attract preppers.

He got the idea from the Blade Runner car.

"Robot" on the guitar pedal doesn't seem to be a reference to anything in particular, but the "R" is lifted from the Ryobi power tools logo.

I agree with Blade Runner for the origami, Edward James Olmos' character has a thing with them.

I'd add that the shots at 3:03 and 3:20 are also straight from Buckaroo Banzai.

The tattoo is just Starbucks tattoo from BSG

Watch image is from Metropolis, I think.

Origami is from Blade Runner, car too I think.
Quark was a bar tender on Star Trek : Deep Space 9

Also pretty sure the lab techs have Dharma Initiative patches from Lost

Somebody get that technology some acetaminophen because that's pretty sick.

I wondered how we were supposed to achieve the holographic building-sized billboards from such dystopian futures as presented in Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, and this is an interesting start!

I thought it felt tacked on; I think artistically or symbolically it had significance, but I don't think it added much for me; maybe it could have been part of an extended version for the hard core Blade Runner people

I too, read and loved this book years ago when it came out in paperback. From this trailer I get an almost Blade Runner meets The Expanse *quality vibe.
