One of the most famous scenes was when Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) was forced to compete in the light cycle game.
I found a video comparison of the storyboards for Tron (1982) and the film.
Check out the video after the jump.
I'm not sure who the artist is, but IMDb lists the storyboard artists as Andy Gaskill, Bill Kroyer and Jerry Rees.

What do you think of the storyboards? Do you remember what it was like watching this for the first time?
Not a great movie, but that scene was great. Ironic that they weren't allowed to compete for the Special Effects Oscar because they used a computer. Now that's about the only kind of effects we see.
ReplyDeleteI always thought the storyboards for Tron were ahead of their time technologically speaking. I wish Tron Legacy had been better, especially given the technology. The soundtrack was good though.
