Here's video highlights I shot of "TRON Day" -- an event held at the 2011 D23 Expo on August 20, 2011 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California -- right by Disneyland. Actor Bruce Boxleitner (TRON/Alan Bradley) and actress Cindy Morgan (Yori/Lora Bradley) were on hand to greet fans and sign autographs -- and they were joined by actors Jackson Bostwick (TRON - Head Guard) and Rob Daly (TRON: LEGACY - Lead Sentry). Original costumes from the 1982 TRON movie were also on display for the characters: TRON, Yori, RAM (Dan Shor), and Flynn (Jeff Bridges).
I brought some of my original 1982 TRON kodaliths -- which Bruce and Cindy signed, and action figures which Jackson and Rob signed. The kodaliths are actual production used elements that were filmed for TRON -- each measuring approximately 12" by 20". They were created from the 70mm film frame blow ups of "The Grid" (in the computer world) section of the movie -- which was shot in black and white. Matting masks were made to allow colors to show through in select places -- which created the color illumination effect of the circuitry. In essence, these are like original production cels that were created and filmed for an animated film. The kodaliths you will see in the video are from the iconic I/O Tower sequence with TRON and Yori.
And per my request, both Jackson and Rob kindly signed my action figures with quotes from their characters: "Vacate entry port program... I said move!" and "Rectify... Rectify... Games...!".
