In 1982 Disney released the seminal painting TRON, a cinema which wasn't a large commercial success but did larn a cult favorite.
It was a really unlike basis dorsum then. Mobile phones were the size of briefcases together with really few people had access to a "real" figurer but settled instead for machines similar the Commodore VIC-20 together with the Atari 400/800. If you lot didn't know what a spreadsheet or discussion processor was, together with thus at to the lowest degree you lot play video games on the device.
TRON was the commencement cinema to actually unwrap people to the potential of figurer graphics together with at the fourth dimension had a large deport on on my graphic blueprint together with instance work.
State of the fine art figurer graphics when TRON was released.
What impressed most people close TRON were the glow effects. That is what they idea were the figurer effects. But inwards reality the glow effects were done amongst old-fashioned non-digital methods which I was able to recreate inwards my basement photograph studio.
Recreating the TRON glow: from left bottom layer to correct travel past times layer: lith cinema negative, 1/4" thick frosted glass, colored acetate gel, lith cinema positive.
Photographing all the layers inwards register from direct overhead using an onetime vegetable crate turned into a lightbox created the glow "computer graphic" effect.
If needed, a minute exposure (with a lith cinema mask) using a particular lens filter (sometimes homemade using nylon stockings) would add together a picayune sparkle.
It was a vary deadening procedure every bit I commencement had to innovation together with thus practise the artwork. I used 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" cinema inwards a particular holder on my 4"x5" thought camera. Each icon required several exposures depending on the complexity of the terminal effect. There was no means to preview how the terminal icon would look, thus the exposed cinema would hold out taken for processing belatedly at nighttime thus that it would hold out educate for viewing the side past times side morning. If anything was wrong, whatever minor mistake inwards registration, or exposure, or a spec of dust inwards the icon meant that it would direct maintain to hold out reshot.
Despite the complexity of the process, my instance mode based on this technique:
Was used for corporate brochures:
As good every bit the early on promotions for Vancouver's 1986 World's Fair:
And production brochures:
Magazine covers:
And diverse editorial instance applications:
Universally, fine art directors idea that I was a existent magician of figurer graphics together with was able to give them the high-tech hold off they were afterwards - fifty-fifty though, secretly, all I used was manus drawn fine art mixed inwards amongst merely about old-school photographic cinema trickery.
TRON: Legacy volition hold out released to theaters Dec 17, 2010.
