Detailed Description
Tron is a 1982 American science fiction film written and directed by Steven Lisberger, based on a story by Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird and produced by Walt Disney Productions. The film stars Jeff Bridges as a computer programmer who is transported inside the software world of a mainframe computer where he interacts with programs in his attempt to escape. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards, Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Costume Design. Tron was a commercial flop at the time of its release, but has since been recognized as a cult classic. It was the first film to receive a PG rating for violence. The visual effects in Tron were created using a combination of backlit animation and live action. The backlit animation was achieved by filming live action against a black background and then printing the negative onto clear film. This negative was then used to backlight the animation cels. The live action was shot on 35mm film using Panavision cameras and then transferred to video for the final composite. The computer graphics were created by Lisberger’s company, Lisberger Studios, and the majority of the animation was done by hand. One of the most famous scenes in Tron is the “light cycle” scene, in which the characters race on light cycles that leave a wall of light behind them. This scene was created by animator Richard Taylor using rotoscoping. The film was scored by Wendy Carlos, who created an electronic score using the Fairlight CMI synthesizer. Tron was one of the first films to use computer-generated imagery (CGI), and its use of CGI was groundbreaking at the time. The film’s CGI effects were created by Douglas Trumbull, who had previously worked on the effects for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Tron was the first film to receive a PG rating for violence, and its use of CGI was groundbreaking at the time.
