...to the guy responsible for video playback. (Playing back 24 frame video in sync with film camera is a whole 'nother topic) I worked with a guy named Joe Unson(I think that was his name) on the film "He Said, She Said" in 1990.
I happened to be reading Dick's novel, "D.A.D.O.E.S." and he volunteered that he worked on the movie, "Blade Runner". He was told by Scott on several occasions that Dekard was a replicant and that he wanted to convey that fact in subtle ways throughout the film.
He told of one scene (I think just before Dekard retires Zhora) where Dekard is seen leaning against a shop window reading a newspaper. The display inside the window is filled with tv sets that are all distorted and generally messed up. At the end of the shot, Dekard steps away from the window and the tv images snap back into "good" reception. That was one of the specific scenes that Scott and the video playback guy co-ordinated during filming of the motion picture...
...just relaying another story that may or may not contribute facts to the fire...
