Sci-fi_Downtown City
3Step into the future and explore the bustling streets of a high-tech, downtown metropolis. See towering skyscrapers, neon lights, and advanced technology everywhere you look. Experience the excitement of a cutting-edge sci-fi city through this interactive Snapchat lens."
One inspiration for this project could be the cyberpunk genre of science fiction, which often features futuristic urban environments with advanced technology and a gritty, neon-lit aesthetic. This genre is well known for its portrayal of a society that is heavily dependent on technology, where the line between humanity and machines become blurred. The aesthetic of cyberpunk is often described as a mixture of high-tech and low-life.
Examples of cyberpunk media that could be used as inspiration for this project include the movie "Blade Runner," directed by Ridley Scott, which takes place in a dark, dystopian Los Angeles where the line between humans and androids is blurred, the video game "Cyberpunk 2077", which takes place in a high-tech, open-world metropolis known as Night City, where advanced technology and the internet has changed the way people live, and the anime "Akira", directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, which takes place in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo, where advanced technology has led to a dark and dangerous society.
Incorporating elements of this style into the design of the lens, such as neon lights, holographic billboards, and advanced technology, could make for an immersive and visually striking experience. Using the above references as inspiration, the lens can be set in a metropolis that is full of life, where people are going about their daily lives, but at the same time the lens can be designed to feel like a dystopian world, where the viewer can see the darker side of the city, such as poverty, crime, and social inequality. Overall, the lens can be designed to give the viewer a sense of what it would be like to live in a cyberpunk world.
