TRON: LIBERTY *** QUICK UPDATE *** (* unfinished project *) — Page 3

I hate that they used "Clu" again in Tron 2.  Too damn confusing.

Author

Be confused no longer, Frink!  I'll be removing Clu from my edit.   In my opinion, he's really only there to stop the audience from wondering "If everyone has a double, where is Jeff?"  Means I'll have to get rid of Bit in the later scenes as well, but that's no big deal.

Aw, but Bit is one of the best characters!  I always laugh out loud at it's freaked out "Nononononononono!" when Flynn is flying the Recognizer.

I do like that scene too, but I'll be rearranging a fair bit of early exposition to the point where Clu is just not needed.  If it feels okay to keep the later Bit scene in an altered form, I just might.  :)

I'll be keeping CLU and Bit in mine. I don't plan on making changes to the plot, only some slight enhancements to the visuals as well as the music and sound mix. CLU will also be staying yellow as that's the colour CLU is - Yellow. When a program is corrupted or controlled it is red/orange as seen in Tron: Legacy and even the MCP's controlled programs in Tron. I currently have a $300 debt on my head and I'm out of a job. Once I get a job, I can pay that debt off, but then I still need to put aside about a thousand dollars a month until September for the fall term. Whatever money I have left will be going to:

Shipping out Star Wars: Renascent

Loading my computer with more RAM

Buying a bluray player/burner for my computer

Buying Tron and Tron: Legacy on BluRay

Just a suggestion but on the 20th anniversary DVD and the new blu-ray release there is a deleted "love" scene with Tron and Yori where they go back to Yori's place for a bit. It's a stunning scene, full of color, and it's a shame it was cut. I think it would make a great addition to your edit. I'm not sure if the clip is in HD or not though on the blu-ray so that might affect your decision to include it. When you get the blu-ray, check it out and see if it was remastered in HD.

Unfortunately, the deleted scene is still in SD and in the exact same quality as in the 2-Disc Set. However, it would still be good to include in this edit.. definitely gives depth to Tron and Yori.

As I still don't have money of Tron and Tron: Legacy in HD, I'm trying to unpack that old MKV HD file I had. I'm using Avidemux - I've unpacked it and it wouldn't work in Vegas, so now I'm converting it using Avidemux. It's taken about 24hrs and I'm 97% done that. If it loads in Vegas, then we're back in business. Once I get started on this, it's full force (as I'm done with Renascent until the release of ESB: Revisited).

Well it finished and it's worse than DVD quality... I guess I'll have to either wait until I can hopefully afford buy a bluray burner/player or start taking donations like other editors do. :S

Despite the worse quality than DVD, count me in as being curious to see it. Tron does need a fan edit and your early work did look promising. Thanks for updating the thread, in any case.

For those of you wishing to donate for material for any of my independent film making (which would also be used for future fan-edits), I've devised an easy method: T-Shirts.

I like this method as you're actually buying a T-Shirt which will promote my work, and all the profit (which is only $2-$4 a shirt) will go towards future endeavours.

Obviously it will accumulate VERY slowly though.

Many have PMed me about donating and I never accepted it - now I am willing to accept. My edit is released, which means people can actually see how I work. Also, I am actually in need of certain equipment (a BluRay player/burner, maybe some more RAM or a new CPU (this depends though; my computer has been getting VERY laggy while editing, so once I reformat the computer we'll see if it keeps up or not). Once that equipment is acquired, I'll post an update stating so.

 

On the T-Shirt store you'll find Asteroid Productions shirts, Renascent shirts, and some random graphic tees.

Just purchased Tron: Legacy on BluRay. Will be buying Tron once I reformat my computer and figure out how to properly rip the disc onto my computer.

Bump.  Just watched the original last week, and I definitely would love to see a fanedit.  This sounds really cool.

Author
Time

Here's a quick scheduling update:

MARCH:
A short-film I wrote last year has been selected for production and I'm Directing that - hopefully shooting it at the end of the month.

I'm also working with two clients for editing and graphic design.

Hopefully I can get started on No Country for Gunmen
APRIL:
Post-Production on my short film.

Another production I was doing has to be reshot because the lab tried developing COLOUR 16mm film with chemicals meant for B/W film. So that and a commercial I'm working on are taking up my month of April.

Hopefully I can finish No Country for Gunmen

MAY:
I have a move at the beginning of the month to a place still unknown (depends on work). On the 7th I have a surgery which takes about two-weeks for me to get full recover. I should be able to get back to full-force fan-editting during my second week of recovery through the end of the summer.

Hopefully I can start SMALLVILLE: Superman


JULY/AUGUST 2012
Hopefully I can start Tron: Liberty and get it done by the end of 2012

EARLY 2013
The Empire Strikes Back: Renascent


AND THEN...
All Harry Potter Films
Return of the Jedi: Renascent
All of the Avengers films (including Iron Man, TIH, CA, Thor, etc)


Hopefully that'll clear things up a bit. But yeah, next stop: No Country for Gunmen!



EDIT: Here are the formats I'll be doing

Bluray 1080p (50GB)
Bluray 720p (25GB)

DVD 480p (8GB)

MKV 720p

Alright guys, I'm bringing this one back to life. Got Media Composer up and running on my desktop as well as ProTools. I'll be looking into some synthesizer libraries and looking at maybe composing some stuff for the film myself.

I was hoping to get DaVinci Resolve on here too, but you need an NVIDIA graphics card, and mine's an AMD.

My MacBook Pro can "technically" run it, but it's super unstable. 

I'm gonna try to install Adobe CS6 after production of a short film this weekend and try out Adobe SpeedGrade too. 

 

I'm just gonna have to make sure I schedule time specifically for this so that it doesn't fall behind and neither does production and post-production on all my other projects.

Quick Update:

MUSIC:
Been playing around with a bunch of different VSTs and plugins (one of which Daft Punk actually used for "Derezzed").  

I'll be testing out some of this stuff on my own short film as well. I'll show you guys when it's done for reactions.

I've also just received the soundtrack to Tron Uprising.

 

EDITING:

I'm going to have to look into buying a new HDD specifically for fanedits - with that, I'll also be looking into getting a USB 3.0 or firewire 800 controller for my computer. 

 

COLOUR GRADING:

I've mentioned how I wanted to use Resolve but will need an NVIDIA Graphics card, so this too would need a new purchase on my end.

 

I'm getting there, guys! Slowly, but surely!

Since nobody else seems to have time (hope its not because they don't care), I want to state my interest in your project, since "TRON: Legacy" came out I wished Disney would have updatet the old movie, with handled care ;-)

 

So you try to modify the look of TRON to make it more Legacy and alter some (or all?) music and sounds ...

 

too bad I haven't had the chance to watch "Uprising" yet, did you watch it, is it "good" ?

yeah, maybe when the soundtrack is available here I try to get it, got all the TRON Stuff :-)

At this point it's mostly going to be music and colour grading. Before moving forward I need a new HDD and an NVIDIA graphics card, but yeah the idea is to have it fall a bit more in line with the new one. 

I loved Uprising. It's a damn shame most of the music sounds like a royalty free knockoff of the music for Legacy though as opposed to just using the actual music from Legacy.

At last had the chance to see some episodes of "TRON: Uprising", and I like it :-)

Though need to watch the first episode, didn't get all the stuff what happened to TRON and why Clu isn't present, just his right hand "man" ...

 

hm, too bad there seems to be no green light yet for a second season, when the first one according to reviews "ends" an a cliffhanger, maybe Disney will order another, if "TRON 3" is for certain?

 

The music was ok, it is from the same composer/arranger who worked with Daft Punkt on "Legacy": http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2468967/

 

I'm very curious where "TRON" as a whole will be leading to, after playing the rather good Video Game "TRON 2.0", I allready thought "how about a virus story" for a sequel ;-)

Well he's in charge of Argon. CLU is over in Tron City. 

My music tests are going really well. I'll have something uploaded soon enough.

Have you thought about adding any music artist in apart from daft punk?

something like this?

https://vimeo.com/34917818

saturn strobe - Pantha du prince

or going much further back as this is quite recent track...Thinking with a retro mind

I have a good knowledge of electronic music spanning back decades and may be able to help you find some good pieces rather than rehashing a sequels music into this one.

This is an interesting idea though...

The PC Game Tron 2.0 has good sound effects in it if you needed to extract sound effects and dialogue.

PM for any music suggestions if you like would be happy to help I have the movie also to watch here if you want a scene suggested I will see what I can come up with.

I really liked the music from the show and Evolution, and I've also taken a liking to Oblivion and the Portal 2 Soundtracks. Also, some of the stuff from the Assassin's Creed games and Halo 4 also have a nice mix of orchestral and synth. 

I've also been considering composing some myself. Here's my first attempt at a synth/orchestral mix (my second time ever working with electronic/synth):
https://soundcloud.com/faran-esmaile-moradipour/theme-from-covert-delivery

Also, do you know how I might be able to go about extracting sounds and dialogue from a game without music and such?

I do also have Tron: Evolution. Maybe I could rip sounds off of there? I could always try to mute the music in-game, run the output line to the input line in my computer and essentially folly the entire film using the game sounds, unless there's a way to actually find the WAV files or w.e might be encoded in the actual disc.
