Description
TRON "Game Tank" Pair of Ektachrome Continuous-Tone Transparencies (Walt Disney, 1982). A pair of black and white Kodalith (often referred to by TRON collectors as an Ektachrome), from the cult-classic Sci-Fi film, TRON. Clu, a pirate program created by Kevin Flynn (as played by Jeff Bridges) travels inside his game tank on a mission for his user. The interior environment and the costumes closely reflect the brilliant designs of futurist Syd Mead. Along with concepts by Moebius (Jean Giraud), these became the DNA for Tron's unique visual style. The film received the Academy Award® for Technical Achievement fourteen years after its initial release. To achieve the desired effect, actors and sets in TRON were initially photographed in black-and-white. This Kodalith was enlarged from 65mm B&W fine-grain film, part of the original stage photography by DP Bruce Logan. 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. This transparency measures about 20" x 12" with an image area of 19" x 8.5". This Kodalith immortalizes Flynn's adventurous spirit and his integral role in the cinematic tapestry of TRON. It serves as a visual time capsule, inviting viewers to relive the magic of a pioneering era in science fiction cinema and rediscover the captivating journey of a human traversing the luminous landscapes of the digital frontier.
