(I also recorded the whole thing again, but there's a million videos to edit together, so I'll post it here eventually if and when I get it done )

The Blade Runner:

 

EDIT -

Voting time!
Vote for your favourite sci-fi film noir poster!

Banj's Blade Runner, made before Blade Runner was ever made,
or Val's Robocop, likewise filmed before Robocop was a thing.

As usual we have until the 8th and then I'll forget all about it.

I think Banj's picture deserves all the votes as it actually looks like a film poster rather than a generic greyscale scribble. There's a tremendous amount of work in all of those portraits (done before the deadline too!) and the arrangement into the classic "pyramid of heads" composition is familiar from movie posters of all eras. I think the choice and placement of text is perfect for this particular style and the way the angles align with the cars is pleasing to the eye.
It was also fun trying to second-guess what the film was gonna be throughout the progression. For a while I thought it was gonna be an earthbound 50s Star Wars with Jimmy Stewart as Luke and Robert Mitchum as Obi Wan.
But Blade Runner is much more suitable for the challenge.

My Vote=Banj.

I'm pretty much agreeing with Val (except I'm not as knowledgeable with regards to erm... stuff)
so Banj has my vote too.

And a vote for Valence.

It has a nice period mood to it with the lighting and the foggy street. And those cars can be a pain in the but to draw. Here's looking at you kid with the best eyes money can buy (An I'd buy that for a dollar) 

I think voting is over by some way, so I 'm going to do what any normal person would do and declare myself the winner  Well done me 

Told you I'd forget all about it.

Well done, you.
