All the Computer Graphics from the Movie Tron.
In full length and chronological order. This time it's CGI! (The exception proves the rule. : )

This Version contains NO music from Wendy Carlos! (Diese Version enthält KEINE Musik von Wendy Carlos!) Sad not to hear the wonderful and unique soundtrack of W.Carlos but she, or maybe more the Record Company was not amused by my first Tribute - and it got deleted. So i try a Carlos-Music-Free version of the Tron CGI Shots Tribute this time. All Music is from ISAO TOMITA! Tried to keep the Spirit as far as possible... and Isao Tomita fits perfectly, in my humble opinion.

The Scenes from 7:21 to 7:42 are NO CGI - they part CGI Stills - part handdrawn - part photographic Effects. But to late to cut them out now! Thanks for this hint vicentox1999! ;)

Quote Wiki: "To create the computer animation sequences of Tron, Disney turned to the four leading computer graphics firms of the day:

Information International Inc. of Culver City, California, who owned the Super Foonly F-1 (the fastest PDP-10 ever made and the only one of its kind);

MAGI of Elmsford, New York; Robert Abel and Associates of California; and Digital Effects of New York City.

Bill Kovacs worked on this movie while working for Robert Abel before going on to found Wavefront Technologies. More than 500 people were involved in the post-production work, including 200 inker and hand-painters in Taiwan.

Tron has a distinctive visual style, as it was one of the first films from a major studio to use computer graphics extensively.

Three designers were brought in to create the look of the computer world.

Renowned French comic book artist Jean Giraud (aka Moebius) was the main set and costume designer for the movie. Most of the vehicle designs (including Sark's aircraft carrier, the light cycles, the tank and the solar sailer) were created by industrial designer Syd Mead, of Blade Runner fame.

Peter Lloyd, a high-tech commercial artist, designed the environments.

However, these jobs often overlapped with Giraud working on the solar sailer and Mead designing terrain, sets and the film's logo. The original Program character design was inspired by the main Lisberger Studios logo, a glowing body builder hurling two discs.

  • the music you added ruin sthe scenes im just sayin

  • @DarPower1 What would have been your choice of Music then, without using Wendy Carlos? And don't Wimp out now! Name it, we listen to it, and we'll judge!

  • @MetalApe Uhhh wendy carlos, you know the person that made music for the clips and not this.....just sayin, and btw i didnt hit like or dislike.

  • @DarPower1 ...uhm... you haven't read the description, have you?

  • I had these "electronic" versions of these classical pieces long ago, can you tell me what the name of the composers are? I see that Isao Tomita is one of them, did he do all of the music we are hearing? If I remember right, the album I had many years ago was part of a laser light show, and I haven't been able to find the music. But the music you have here sounds just like it.

  • @DJsStratoArt Indeed, it's all him!

  • ...CGI has come a long wayz

  • Yes, many things that we think are CG are done with traditional photochemical effects. Which means that in Tron they simulated synthetics with reality, now they simulate reality with synthetics.

    But movies still haven't gotten any better, really. They may be fancioer, but they are not BETTER.

  • I hear Isao Tomita's take on Gustav Holst - Planets.

    Wnedy Carlos' original Music for Tron would have been more appropriate..

    Well, it might be a rights issue, dunno.

  • @MetalApe I HAVE and the wonderis why not?

  • 2:45 If you look at the flat, textured part of what appear to be digital sand-dunes, you will see first the nose then the grinning jaw, then the big ears of Mickey Mouse. A little in-joke from the Disney crew.
