Tron and Depeche Mode: a 3D short animated video re-elaboration
A screenshot from the movie Tron
Justin Alt, a designer from Florida re-edited Tron, one of the first Computer Graphics movies, to match a totally new soundtrack extracted from Depeche Mode’s album “Playing The Angel”. The result generates an unavoidable sense of nostalgia for dear old polygon flat-shaded CG. My thoughts go as well to Ken Perlin. Yes the NY University professor who invented the Noise algorithm to create irregular and random shapes. He worked as a “TD” as an CG scientist developing digital visual effects for the movie.
