Description
TRON Flynn Ektachrome Continuous-Tone Transparency Group of 3 (Walt Disney, 1982). From the cutting-edge 1982 classic TRON, this is an excellent set of three production-used Kodalith (a.k.a. Ektachrome) continuous-tone transparencies featuring the protagonist Flynn, portrayed by Jeff Bridges. Famously on the first major motion pictures to use computer-generated imagery (though the phrase CGI was not yet coined), TRON is a landmark technical achievment in filmmaking. To achieve the film's impressive effects, actors and sets in TRON were initially photographed in black-and-white. This set of continuous-tone transparencies were enlarged from the original photography. Framed enlargements were placed over a light source and re-photographed through colored camera filters. The computers at the time could not do animation, so the frames had to be produced one by one. In some of the more complex sequences, each frame could take up to six hours to produce. These transparencies from the groundbreaking achievement measure about 20" x 12" each. Overall minimal handling and edge wear, and the condition is Very Good.Auction Info
