Just acquired my second Tron animation cel and this one is absolutely epic:
This cel features Clu (Jeff Bridges) inside his hacker tank. As 90% of the cyberspace scenes were shot on an all-black set and were to be matted in by traditional hand-painted backgrounds, this is one of the few scenes that had an actual set with real, functioning set pieces. This minimal set also allowed camera movement and z-moves with an otherwise motionless camera.
As you can see, the presence of the set instead of a all-black background really makes the cel stand out and provides an amazing amount of detail with the 12" x 20" kodalith cel.
The origin of the cel began as live-action black and white 70mm film which was then transferred to a rotoscoping machine where it was copied onto this 12" x 20" kodalith cel. The animation cel was then shot with various passes and mattes to provide color for the body, the tank interior, and lightbox was placed underneath the cel to provide the light for the glowing circuitry effect along with other effects animation for glowing panels in the tank interior.

Hope you guys enjoy it!
