Tron - Light cycle sequence (1982)
YouTube via allertonoff.
"Among the all time great science fiction classics. The first feature film to make extensive dramatic use of CGI. It still looks fresh today, with a wonderfully retro score by Wendy Carlos. Sheer industrial delight and magic. Highly reccomended."
via Wikipedia:
"The background music for Tron was written by pioneer electronic musician Wendy Carlos, who is best-known for her album Switched-On Bach and for the soundtracks to many films, including A Clockwork Orange and The Shining. The music featured a mix of an analog Moog synthesizer and GDS digital synthesizer (complex additive and phase modulation synthesis), along with non-electronic pieces performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra (hired at the insistence of Disney, which was concerned that Carlos might not be able to complete her score on time). Two additional musical tracks were provided by the band Journey. They were originally going to be recorded by British band Supertramp. The soundtrack album was released on record and tape by CBS Records. It has been recently re-released by Walt Disney Records."

Never noticed that Pac Man when he's looking at the map. XD
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, nobody saw it since the theatrical release. You can only see it on the dvd in the widescreen version.
ReplyDeleteThere's also a hidden mickey mouse during one of the solar sailor cuts. It's part of the landscape.
ReplyDeleteYup that's another one that you couldnt see very well until the widescreen version..!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if on purpose but it looks like Tetris blocks in a scene or two too. I can see it on my VHS copy even. State of the Art baby! dodadedooo dodadedooo...
ReplyDelete"You can only see it on the dvd in the widescreen version."
ReplyDeleteIts in the laserdisc box set 6141-CS released 22-NOV-95 which also contains footage and stills not on the DVD.
didn't neil young do the music for this?
ReplyDeleteNeil Young did "Trans."
ReplyDeleteI should really buy this DVD. It's a wealth of samples! I remember seeing it in the theater when it came out!
ReplyDeletedidn't trey parker and sharon stone do the animation for this?
ReplyDeletemy favorite movie by far. they say it's the only movie of its kind thats ever going to exsist because it took so much staffing to paint the color separation mats. but i think six guys on computers could crank out a scene a day. it would probably take an invention to print the mats correctly but i would like to see more animated light movies.
