Ornamental Hermit @herdingphotons.bsky.social · 18/08/2026↪ Replying to @generayburn.comThe "cheating" sense was that it wasn't physical efects. Here's a brief discussion on how labor-intensive the movie actually was: www.indiewire.com/features/com...indiewire.comHow the Original ‘Tron’ Changed Movies Forever, and Why It Didn’t Win an Oscar in 1983Steven Lisberger's 1982 sci-fi classic 'Tron' was a major innovator in visual effects for its revolutionary use of computer-generated imagery (CGI). 0143

Verbal Jones @verbaljones.bsky.social · 18/08/2026↪ Replying to @generayburn.comThis has been speculated but never confirmed. And it seems strange that it would be true since "Tron" did get nominations that year for Best Sound and Best Costume Design -- which is telling since CGI was used for the glowing effect that made the costumes distinctive. 120

That's why I don't watch too many new flicks. I don't consider computer generated images and dialog talent. It's like watching a video game. I enjoy real art and artists and well written dialog.✌️💙 010

Two of the actors, Peter Jurasik(Londo Mollari) and Bruce Boxleitner(Sheridan) reunited on Babylon 5 Season 2-5. The show used beautiful CGI produced on Commodore Amiga 3000 for everything except the corridors of the station. Babylon 5 had the best space battles ever due to CGI. 010

InOhio @inohio.bsky.social · 18/08/2026↪ Replying to @generayburn.comThe flashes in the film were caused by over exposures either during filming or developing it. It was too costly to reshoot the scenes, so they put in a electric static sound effect to coincide with the flashes, no one noticed. It wasn't planned but happy accident. Great film, one of my favs! 020
James Huctwith @dainty-bastard.bsky.social · 18/08/2026↪ Replying to @generayburn.comI'm surprised it didn't win on its other unique merit: the hand-tinting of every black-and-white "in-computer", live-action frame. Plus, every frame had to be separated out into elements on multiple negatives for this, then precisely recompressed back. It's almost a giant hand-made art film. 031
