Science, physics, maths and special effects in movies
TRANSCRIPT OF THE VIDEO (done by Mrs Durocher, for class use)
· PART 1: 00 – 00:18
It may not be the world of Tron but many of us are living some portions of our lives in a virtual landscape, whether we are using social media websites, playing massively multiplayer online games or sending text messages.
· PART 2: 00:19-00:35
GEORGES RIBAS: “What do you think it is about like that, the idea of this digital world, people plugging into ?
OLIVIA WILDE : Well, this envy would appeal to Kevin Flynn ; the idea of creating an alternate universe that can be used to experiment.
Creating an avatar that is a version of yourself that can be perfected but, the cautionary tale of this film is that perfection is flood.
JOURNALIST –Voice off- : In Tron legacy, that perfection is personified on the grid and in clue protagonist Kevin Flynn’s digital alter ego
· PART 3 : 00:43-1:04
JEFF BRIDGES: This was an opportunity to create and make a modern day myth about technology and we are really challenged with this technology.
JOURNALIST: According to the few research centers 19% of teens and 79% of adults are on line in the US.
90 % of all Americans have a mobile phone; that is according to CTIA a wireless telegram trade group.
· PART 4:1:04-1:18
OLIVIA WILDE: I certainly think that we are all far to rely on these devices, I am.
I wonder what would happen if internet just went down for a year. What would we do?
· PART 5 :1:19-1:41
STEVEN LISBERGER (producer):And your generation now has to face the clue dilemma, which is this technology can make enormous demands on us for perfection: we are being asked to, in some ways to turn ourselves into programmers to deal with that world and each other.
· PART 6 :1:42-1:52
Worldwide, five hundred millions (500 000 000) are posting status updates on Facebook.
21.3 million are living a second life and 12 million are questing in World of Warcraft
· PART 7:1:53-2:11
STEVEN LISBERGER: Everytime I see some young person on a cell phone, I think there is more computing power in that kid’s hand than we had on the whole first Tron.
And so, from my perspective, from 1982, we are pretty far down the road in the cyberville.
· PART 8: 2:11 to the end
JOURNALIST: So how would we know once we arrive there?
STEVEN LISBERGER: Well, it’s a little bit like the film. Once we get there, I don’t think we actually know we step across the barrier.
When we get there, I don’t think that we ‘ll ever gonna know that we actually stepped across the barrier.
JOURNALIST: Maybe not, but if I see one of these things going by my house on trash day, I am guessing I have just walked into internet.
Special effects get science lesson
