Ridley Scott wanted to get detail upon detail into Blade Runner.
Realism is a fundamental of the movie's visual impact. So what better
way to create the impression of a freezing laboratory than to create
it in a freezer? A storage freezer was rented at US Growers Cold
Storage, Inc. (a meat packing plant) in Downey, Los Angeles. Lawrence
G. Paull describes how they createed the set: The temperature in
the room was gradually reduced over a period of two weeks to 4 below
zero, (dropping the temperature too quickly causes serious structural
problems). About 4 days before filming, the Chew Lab set was built
in it, followed by the occasional spraying of water by the crew
resulting in the ice coating and icicles you see.
So
the place was pretty cold when the actors and crew filmed there!
That really is their breath you see condensing in the cold air.
They spent a total of two days filming the Chew scene.
