You know, I have seen full fan movie based on start trek and star wars....since all us peeps want a sequal so bad, why dont we make our own??? And media/movie students here People with the right access to equipment, go knows we all have computers ... just a thought, so think about it

Agreed! So lets create some solutions! I personally dont look for reasons not to do something but reasons to do it

Sooo what can we do then
Ideas people! I know you are full of them I've seen your post!

Pool those resources!
We should make a fan made film!
I think we have enough users here at tron-sector that it culd be possible....

The thing about "fan based" usually means no one gets paid for anything. Meaning that this comes second to our days jobs... which means no one has time for it.

That's just usually the reality of things.

heya todd thanks for the welcome
glad to be a more functioning part of the group

Bingo, Boingo.



Seriously, sadly you're right, Boingo_Buzzard.

Time (or lack there of) is the biggest hurdle in my way of creative productions. And a TRON fan film - that is actually the original reason I first became a member of TRON-Sector. I even set out to make a circuitry suit at one point (shortly after joining here), but that project didn't get very far. Partly because I'm not handy with building things like that and partly because I didn't have sufficient time to devote to it.

Lack of time on most people's part means the chances of a TRON fan film is slim. Any production takes much time and effort to put together. But a TRON project - that's going to require all the production work, PLUS a lot more planning and postproduction work for the visual FX.

But ya never know. I still have a TRON fan production of some sorts in my mind, and there's only one way to put it to rest. One day... some day, I'll have to do something TRON based. I just hope I can find the time before too many more years pass by!

It is encouraging to see fresh enthusiasm in the community. I, myself, have also been trying to rally soem forces to make something... ANYTHING... new for the TRON universe. So far I've completed 1/3 of a SP Expansion for the TRON 2.0 game... mostly by myself. (Props to Redrain for gettting it compatible with non-XP OS'es.)

Lack of substantial assistance and enthusiasm has slowed me down considerably on furthering that Expansion, although progress DOES happen on it about 10 hours a month right now. Some people are helping, but progress is slow for them... and I understand that they have lives, too!

As for a movie, another fan who goes by Falty and I started pre-production planning on a complete CGI fanfilm of the UserError Expansion I had released. I have the script written out completely and is being reviewed (again... slowly) by yet another community member for spelling, plot, continuity, etc... Falty's fallen on hard times recently and has had to postpone all projects to focus on the real world, so the film's on hold for now unless I can find some substantial help in getting it going again.

Anyhoo... I still plug away at the User Error Project as a whole (Game Expansion, Movie, and E-Novel) and hope to someday have it all available to the community. If Disney wants to buy the story out from me and make it themselves... I'm ok with that too!

So User Error is my pet project. I'll help anyone with anything else if I am able. I'll take help from anyone else if they are able. Just keep TRON alive!

Don't just sit there! Do something! I'm with you!

I work fulltime but I could dedicate som etime to this..and this goes for anyone else out there. We have somone that is active already and has a launching point for a few possibilities! This has me very excited. So I put it out to people.... Who would "seriosly" like to get involved in some capacity to making this happen. If you are interested and have skills that could lend to game expansion, CG movie making, 3d meshes programming, website design I would like to contribute to making meatsacks project a reality!

Im game. I posted in the fan film forum. Im a deciend 3d modeler but not great at animation. I could put together objects and scenes for others to animate. Just let me know what I can do.

I can't take credit for that. The digital voices are Redrain's work. I just can't compliment him enough for his contributions.

As for the movie idea... I'll always want User Error to get made, but if everyone would rather start with a smaller project first, I understand. Maybe make a 5 minute episode a-la "Clone Wars" that could become a series? Or we could get a bunch of stories and make a "Enter the Matrix" style compilation of TRON fan fics.

I'll write a script for it and post it in the Fan Fiction section when I'm done. If anyone else has an itch to make a 5-minute script, please post it too. It looks like we might actually get something done here!

we are sure as hell having byte.. he is always great for comedic relif..

like in the movie:
Flynn - " Are you a bit? "
Bit - "Yes"
Flynn - " Is that all you can say? "
Bit - "No" hehe, maby it just me.

In the game:
Jet - " Are you a bit? "
Byte - " HA, no, You never send a bit to do a bytes job.. "

Jet - " Ma3a, Arn't the ICP's helping? "
Byte - " OH please, ICP should stand for Incompitent Confused Program"

*Going forward I think a 5 minute script would be awsome.*
Yes, im not very creative when it comes to scripts, not that i have tried it, but i'll give it a go and see where i end up.

This is most DEFENETLY GOING TO BE FUN!

how about a doco' about the life of a "Bit" or "bite" you know, like you see on discovery channel?
