Tron: Legacy + Cinema Audio Society Panel

Filmed right here in Vancouver, the belated followup is ripe for reassessment after director Joseph Kosinski’s recent triumph with Top Gun: Maverick. When Flynn (Jeff Bridges), the world’s greatest video game creator, sends out a secret signal from an amazing digital realm, his son (Garrett Hedlund) discovers the clue and embarks on a personal journey to save his long-lost father. With the help of the fearless female warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son venture through an incredible cyber universe to wage the ultimate battle of good versus evil.

While Steve Lisberger’s original Tron anticipated the cyber culture that was still in its infancy in the early 80s, Kosinski’s film reaps the benefits of advanced digital technology to create an astonishing aesthetic overload: a stunning use of colour and Daft Punk’s throbbing soundtrack combine to create a virtual world you want to get lost in.

This screening will be preceded by a 45-minute panel discussion featuring the sound crew who worked on Tron: Legacy, including sound mixer Michael McGee, boom operator Don Brown, and sound assistant Juniper Watters, plus Mark Noda, sound mixer on Tron 3.

Moderated by Kyle Petty, CAS, chair IATSE Local 891 Sound Department.

State of the art.
