Tron

Tron is an American science fictionfilm from 1982. It was one of the very first movies that intensively used by computers generated images. The film was produced by Walt Disney Pictures. The lead role is played by Jeff Bridges.

Tron was initially not a great success, but grew (among other things by various computer games) ever more into a cult movie.

Flynn trying to break on the central computer to expose as Dillinger, but the Master Control Program (MCP) stops him. When Flynn attempts, he becomes by the MCP digitized and downloaded in the mainframe program. Here he comes into contact with the program TRON. MCP appears to have taken over the power in the computer and suppressed all other programs, which in this cyber world look like their human creators (which they call "users"). Along with some friends pulls Flynn to battle against MCP and his soldiers. To achieve this, Flynn among other things participate in the games he designed.

Finally succeed Flynn and Tron in their design and the MCP is disabled. Flynn returns to the real world with evidence that Dillinger stole his designs. Flynn is the new CEO of ENCOM.

With Tron was hoping Lisberger video games to a wider public. In 1977 moved Lisberger and his business partner Donald Kushner to the west coast, where they founded their own studio to produce Tron .<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Patterson.2C_Richard_2-1" len="184" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [2]

Only one company, Information International, Inc., responded positively to the offer. Lisberger met Richard Taylor, a representative of Information International. Together they came up with the idea to combine live-action footage with computer animation. Around this time the Storyboard Lisberger had already elaborated and a few short scenes designed for a budget of $ 300,000. Because he had not enough money to finance the film, approached Lisberger [http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=nl&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FWarner_Bros. Warner Bros.], MGM and Columbia Pictures. They accepted all the film off.

Disney, however, was reluctant to give a big budget to a beginning producer and Director, who wanted to use techniques that were still in their infancy. The studio eventually decided to finance a test movie. This was impressive enough for Disney to produce Tron . Customize Disney ordered the scenario. ===Production<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Three designers were assigned to the movie to the computer world to design; the French comics artist Jean Giraud (aka Moebius) designed the costumes, Syd Mead (known for Blade Runner) designed the vehicles andPeter Lloyd designed the backgrounds.

Bill Kovacs worked also in the film. Tron was the first film that extensively made use of computer animation, and is therefore seen as a milestone in the field of computer animation. However, the film contains less computer animation than assumed. Only 15 to 20-minute computer animation in the film was processed.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-DVD_3-0" len="167" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [3]  the technology to combine images with live-action film to feature was still not sufficient enough at the time of the production, so you can see the two almost never together in a scene.

This process was time consuming and required a lot of film layers. The different quality of these layers also the effects came not for the better. This process turned out to be so cumbersome, that the after Tron never applied to another movie.

Initially, the "good" computer programs in the film be colored yellow and the bad blue, but half way through the production, it was decided to change it to blue and red for the good programs for the poor. Still, there are some scenes in the movie with the original color combination, such as the scene with the light cycling.

Specialists, however, saw the potential of the medium. However, there were big blockbusters such as Jurassic Park (1993) and Toy Story (1995) to the possibilities of computer animation to the entire film world by letting it penetrate. ===Notes<span class="mw-editsection" len="326" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ==Awards and nominations<span class="mw-editsection" len="339" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p lang="en" len="229" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;font-family:sans-serif;color:rgb(15,15,95);">Tron in 1983 won a Saturn Award for best costumes.
