It's Audrey Hepburn's birthday today. In celebration I've created an art print in memory of her glamorous and beautiful nature.

I want to thank everyone who came by to support me today for my
first ever stall. Some of my best
friends came by and I sold some prints and people showed lots of interest and
so many kind words about my work and I’m so grateful. If you’d like to see some of my work please
visit…
And again, Thank You.

Film 944: TRON
Film
944: TRON
Trivia: Deborah Harry was among the actresses who were screen
tested for the role of Lora/Yori.
All the
live action that occurred inside the computer was filmed in black and white,
and colorized later with photographic and rotoscopic techniques.
HIDDEN
MICKEY: In the "solar sailer" sequence, you'll see, for a brief
moment, the silhouette of Mickey Mouse on the ground made to look like part of
the terrain.
Although
the film was an initial failure, the arcade video games based on it proved to
be a tremendous hit and actually out-grossed the film.
The DVD
commentary notes that there is almost no camera movement whatsoever in any of
the shots of the electronic world with live-action characters in them. They
brought in a camera and tripod with metal batwings attached, and literally
nailed the camera to the floor; the camera was so locked off that "it
wouldn't move even if hit by a car". The few shots with live-action
characters which actually have camera movement (about a dozen shots in all)
involve simple graphics or animation, such as one-color backlighting.
To
inspire the actors, arcade games were placed on the production sets and could
be played during downtime. Jeff Bridges
apparently was the most adept at the games and found it hard to tear himself
away from a game to shoot a scene.
The programmer's
cubicles at Encom were shot using the actual programmer's cubicles at The Walt Disney Company's Information Technology group. A
matte painting was used to expand the area to a size more appropriate to a
software company.
Pac-Man
makes a graphical and audible cameo on Sark's control screen just after the
light cycles escape the game grid.
The film
was disqualified from receiving an Academy Award nomination for special
effects, because the Academy felt at the time that using computers was
"cheating".
Disneyland
guests can play "Space Paranoids" in a Tomorrowland souvenir store,
in the back near the Space Mountain exit. The game currently sits next to a
"Tron" arcade game, and near several "Fix-It Felix Jr."
arcade games. "FLN" holds all of the high scores.
