Tron: Legacy made it to the next round of competition for VFX at the Oscars. After watching this reel, it is obvious Digital Domain deserves the recognition, backed by the fact that the Disney movie has made $245 million so far.  

Directed by first-timer Joseph Kosinski, the screenplay was co-written by Adam Horowitz (Lost), Richard Jefferies (Blood Tide, Living Hell), Edward Kitsis (Lost) and the director of the original movie, Steven Lisberger.

With that said, I get ecstatic about presentations of behind-the-scenes film making. Particularly a reel like this one from Digital Domain is priceless.  I am so impressed with the digital quality of the work.  Unbeknownst, Jeff Bridges was practically in every scene.  I thought he was just sitting on a cushion not wanting to play the game throughout the filming process.

Be warned if you haven’t seen the movie yet, lots of spoilers!  You view the digital effects from beginning to the end of the movie, a wonderful treat for anyone interested in filmmaking.
