Make a moment to read the credits at the end of Disney’s TRON. There are also some predictions of what this all means for filmmaking, many of which are quite prescient and all of which are entertaining.
This interesting article appeared in STARLOG and gives a hint of what roadblocks the filmmakers encountered during production. The film’s otherworldly look came from this elaborate and very labor-intensive process, and laid the groundwork for much that came after. The scope of the effects work in TRON remains impressive today many of the film’s effects weren’t computer generated, and were created with traditional tricks and techniques. Aside from the brief Genesis Planet sequence in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (created by plucky new division of Lucasfilm that would eventually evolve into Pixar), cinemagoers hadn’t really experienced computer animation, and certainly nothing on the scale of TRON. While TRON: Legacy, which arrives in theaters this week 28 years after the original film, is just another blockbuster film taking place in a virtual world, back in 1982 no one really knew what to expect from computer-generated effects. Just take a look at the cover of STARLOG #62 from that September – Star Trek II! Revenge of the Jedi in pre-production! The year would see Blade Runner, E.T., and many others, including TRON. The summer of 1982 was about as exciting as it could get for sci-fi fans. Starlog Magazine issue 62 Behind The Scenes Of Disney’s Electronic TRON ORIGINAL STORYBOARD OF TRON BY MAGI SYNTHAVISION
