When TRON: Legacy hit theaters in December 2010, Disney wasn't just reviving an old IP—they were resurrecting one of the strangest, most ambitious sci-fi concepts ever made. The original TRON from 1982 was a groundbreaking attempt to visualize the inside of a computer at a time when most people hadn't even touched one. It imagined programs as people, code as architecture, and morality as circuitry. It was visionary—and it bombed.By the 2000s, though, culture had caught up. The Matrix had turned cyberpunk into mainstream mythology, and the neon-noir look of Blade Runner had become visual shorthand for the future. Enter Joseph Kosinski—a former architect with a designer's precision—who re-engineered TRON not as a hacker fantasy, but as a digital myth about creation, perfection, and control.Garrett Hedlund plays Sam Flynn, son of Kevin Flynn, the hero from the first film, who vanished decades earlier. Sam follows a mysterious signal and is pulled into the Grid—his father's virtual world, now ruled by CLU, a digital clone obsessed with “perfection.” Within minutes, we're deep in a story that mirrors Star Wars: the fallen apprentice turned tyrant, the exiled master, the reluctant heir, and a world that must be remade. Kevin Flynn is both Obi-Wan and Yoda—haunted and withdrawn. CLU is his Darth Vader, a creation corrupted by its maker's arrogance.But the movie also borrows Matrix DNA. The Grid works like a virtual prison where sentient programs fight and dream of freedom. Quorra, played by Olivia Wilde, is the last of the “isomorphic algorithms,” lifeforms that evolved on their own—straight out of Ghost in the Shell's questions about digital souls. The film isn't about coding; it's about consciousness.Kosinski builds this world like a cathedral. Production designer Darren Gilford fills it with clean geometry and luminous voids. The suits by Michael Wilkinson and Christine Bieselin Clark refine Syd Mead's 1982 designs into sculpted futurism. And Daft Punk's score—half orchestra, half circuitry—turns the film into an electronic symphony. Even those who forgot the plot still remember that sound.Critics complained it was cold, that the script sounded like it was written by people who'd never heard of Google. My son Jonas nailed it: “This sounds like nobody who wrote it had heard of the internet.” And he's right. The film imagines computers as isolated kingdoms, not the networked web we actually live in. It's a pre-internet vision dressed in post-Matrix clothing.Yet that's what makes it fascinating. TRON: Legacy isn't really about technology—it's about fathers, sons, and the danger of mistaking perfection for love. Kevin Flynn's failure isn't technical; it's paternal. He built a world in his image and abandoned it. CLU inherited his father's obsession with order, and Sam inherited his resentment. The conflict isn't between man and machine—it's between generations.Kosinski would revisit that theme in Oblivion and Top Gun: Maverick: the architect of the system confronting the cost of control. TRON: Legacy is the prototype—a meditation on beauty, regret, and the limits of design.Fifteen years later, it feels almost prophetic. CLU's dream of a flawless system sounds uncomfortably close to the rhetoric of Silicon Valley. The movie's warning—that perfection becomes tyranny—lands harder in an age of algorithms, A.I., and curated identities. Its message is simple: imperfection is the only thing that makes us human.So tonight, as we gear up for TRON: Ares, we're putting Legacy on trial—not as a sequel that glitched, but as a digital myth that might've been too early for its own time. It's Star Wars rewritten by a coder, The Matrix without the leather, and Ghost in the Shell with a heartbeat.Load the disc. Power up the light cycles. Let's head back to the Grid.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

The late Syd Mead was a visual futurist who was hired to imagine the worlds of Blade Runner, Tron, Aliens, Elysium and other sci-fi films. His work in Hollywood has been lauded for decades, but there's a new exhibit in New York that shows a different side of the artist. Syd Mead: Future Pastime is a collection of his personal and commercial paintings, which are all works of science fiction. Despite his connection to the dystopian world of Blade Runner, Mead's personal vision of the future was unwaveringly optimistic. I talk with Mead's husband and business partner Roger Servick, and the curators of the exhibit, Elon Solo and William Corman, about Mead's predictions for the future of technology, sexuality and spirituality.

Dave's pick this week is the family comedy sci-fi adventure, Short Circuit from 1986. Short Circuit was a collaborative effort that blended innovative special effects with a light-hearted, family-friendly narrative. Directed by John Badham, the film tells the story of a military robot, Number 5, who gains sentience after being struck by lightning. The production was notable for its advanced use of robotics and puppetry to bring the character of Number 5 to life. Special effects supervisor Syd Mead, who had previously worked on films like "Blade Runner" and "Tron," was instrumental in designing the robot, creating a character that was both mechanically believable and endearing. The use of practical effects and on-set puppetry, operated by a team of puppeteers, gave Number 5 a lifelike presence that CGI could not have achieved at the time. Filming took place in various locations around Oregon, including Astoria and the Columbia River Gorge, which provided picturesque and diverse backdrops for the movie's action and comedic sequences. The cast, featuring Ally Sheedy as Stephanie Speck and Steve Guttenberg as Newton Crosby, brought warmth and humor to the story, further enhanced by the chemistry between the human characters and the robotic protagonist. The production faced challenges, such as ensuring the robot's functionality and coordinating complex scenes involving the animatronics, but the crew's dedication paid off. "Short Circuit" was well-received upon its release, praised for its charming story, groundbreaking special effects, and the memorable character of Number 5, which quickly became a cultural icon of the 1980s.

Escaping from the military facility, Number 5 finds refuge with Stephanie Speck (Ally Sheedy), an animal-loving young woman who initially mistakes him for an alien. As Stephanie helps Number 5 understand the world and the concept of life, they form a bond, while the robot's creators, including Newton Crosby (Steve Guttenberg), and the military, led by the determined Captain Skroeder, are on a relentless quest to retrieve him. thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

TCW Podcast Episode 204 - Exploring the Mass Effect In part one of a two-part exploration of the original Mass Effect trilogy, the game emerges as a synthesis of diverse influences from literary books, video games, art styles, TV shows, and movies. Drawing heavily from Bablyon 5 and the TV series 24, the main framework of Mass Effect reflects a blend of narrative inspirations. The art style, inspired by luminaries such as architect Santiago Calatrava, futurist Syd Mead, and John Harris, contributes to the game's visually captivating universe. The initial year of development was dedicated to crafting a compelling hard sci-fi universe. A key goal was to imbue the game with cinematic qualities and broaden its audience appeal, challenging the conventions of RPGs at the time. The innovative use of a dialog wheel, featuring concise words to convey dialog choices, coupled with full voice acting for both player characters and the main protagonist, marked significant strides in the gaming landscape.

Syd Mead (1933 - 2019) was one of the most influential industrial designers of his time. He was well known for neo-futuristic designs and concept art, which led to him working on hit blockbuster films such as Blade Runner, Aliens, and Tron. Early on in his career, Syd collaborated with U. S. Steel, where he was given the creative freedom to do what he liked, so long as he showcased steel!
Earlier in the week, a post came up in my Twitter feed that stopped me in my tracks before sending me down a rabbit hole that I think I may be in for a while. It was a post about a watch—or at least the possibility of a watch—by a designer named Sebastian Stapelfeldt, who publishes under the name Carl Hauser. It's a terrific 3D render that looks like something out of one of Syd Mead's sketchbooks, which is one of the reasons it caught my eye. If that reference doesn't mean anything to you, Syd was an industrial designer and illustrator who is probably best known for his work on Blade Runner and Tron. I think first discovered his work in the late 70s, about the same time that I first saw the work of Frank Frazetta. Both of these guys were huge inspirations, though Syd's influence didn't really show up in my work until the mid-90s.LINKSCarl Hauser: https://www.carlhauser.com/Carl Hauser (Twitter): https://twitter.com/crlhsrSyd Mead: https://sydmead.com/Frank Frazetta: https://www.frazettamuseum.com/Imagine 3D: https://archive.org/details/imagine-3D-for-DOSMS-DOS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOSSiggraph: https://www.siggraph.org/3D Studio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodesk_3ds_MaxSoftimage XSI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XOxGqs0Ck8Maya: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodesk_MayaLightwave: https://www.lightwave3d.com/Universal Studios: https://www.universalstudios.com/Blender: https://www.blender.org/Ton Roosendaal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton_RoosendaalBlender 1.0: https://www.blendernation.com/2020/08/21/blender-1-0-rises-again/Blender stories: https://www.blender.org/get-involved/user-stories/David duChemin: https://davidduchemin.com/David's post: https://davidduchemin.com/2023/06/having-not-gone-farther-on-regret-creativity/CONNECT WITH MEWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.com Twitter: @jefferysaddoris Instagram: @jefferysaddorisSUBSCRIBESubscribe to Jeffery Saddoris: Almost Everything in your favorite podcast app to get more conversations like this.

You may get the impression from the first episode of Turn A that the FLAT is a non-military mobile suit. This is... incorrect! This Syd Mead friend is ready to fight, and at least to me feels the most Syd Mead of all his Turn A designs. Plus, we get to talk about futurism in mobile suit design, and Destiny armor! A little. We do reference a handful of images during our futurism discussion that aren't from the wiki: you can see a folder of them here! If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar.

Il 2019 è passato e Los Angeles non si è trasformata nella megalopoli cupa, inquinata e piovosa immaginata da Ridley Scott con la complicità del concept artist Syd Mead. Ma Blade Runner non voleva davvero immaginare il futuro (forse nessun film di fantascienza vuole fare solo questo). Piuttosto porsi la domanda millenaria: che vita viviamo? Interventi pesanti della produzione (non sempre negativi), critici divisi, incassi scoraggianti in America poi la consacrazione a film di culto con l'ingresso nell'immaginario collettivo di immagini, suoni e dialoghi. A cominciare dal monologo finale di Rutger Hauer, il leader dei replicanti: "Ho visto cose...."

Video Version of this: https://youtu.be/fy7cSQsRArs FIND SCOTT HERE: https://www.artstation.com/scoro https://www.instagram.com/scoro5/?hl=en http://scottrobertsonworkshops.com/h2dr/ https://www.youtube.com/user/scottrobertsondesign ABOUT SCOTT: Scott Robertson was born in Oregon and grew up in the country. As a child his artist father, Richard, taught him how to draw and design the toys he played with. Fascinated by speed, he and his father designed and built soapbox derby cars. At the age of 14, Scott finished sixth in the world at the annual race in Akron, Ohio. In 1984 he attended Oregon State University. In addition to his studies, he was on the rowing team in the bow position. After two and a half years at Oregon State, Scott transferred to Art Center College of Design, where his father had attended before him. He graduated with honors with a B.S. degree in Transportation Design in April 1990. The day after graduation, Scott opened a product design consulting firm in San Francisco with friend Neville Page. Soon they were designing a variety of consumer products, the majority being durable medical goods and sporting goods. Clients included Everest-Jennings, Kestrel, Giro Sport Design, Nissan, Volvo, Yamaha, Scott USA, and Schwinn. In 1995, both Scott and Neville relocated to Vevey, Switzerland to teach drawing and industrial design at Art Center, Europe. Upon the closing of ACE in the middle of 1996 they relocated to Los Angeles. Scott continues to share a studio with Neville where they do consulting work for a wide range of clients.

I will be talking to a cross section of people that work in the Car Design Industry. These will include designers, digital and clay modellers, vis artists and colour & material designers. The focus of our conversations will be centered around personal processes and experiences within the business. My aim is to demystify some of the preconceptions about this industry and give people an unadulterated glimpse into the business. I also wish to give the younger generation the opportunity to see that the people that these professionals come in different shapes and sizes and some of them will be unknown. The intention is to see that you should always be yourself and not let your job define or change who you are. Please get in contact if there is something specific you would like me to cover. I would also be really grateful if you could subscribe and share the podcast with anyone that has an affinity for cars, design or both. Thank you!

Greetings and welcome to The I/O Tower: a podcast for all things TRON. I'm your host, David Fleming. This is Part 3 in my three-part series with TRON associate producer and co-visual effects supervisor Harrison Ellenshaw. Harrison reflects on conceptual artists Syd Mead, Jean "Moebius" Giraud, and Peter Lloyd, and how their combined talent and vision for TRON was both intimidating and exciting. He describes the casting process, and the challenge of conveying the story of TRON to auditioning actors—a challenge not all would overcome. Harrison details many scenes, such as Jeff Bridges' improvised "big door", Flynn's Arcade, Dillinger's helicopter, and Wendy Carlos' iconic soundtrack. And Harrison was crushed that Yori's "love scene" was left out. We close the interview with funny voices on the set of TRON, and Harrison's film about making a film—"Stardumb (Dead Silence)".

Die Zukunft. Sie beschäftigt uns Menschen seit Tag eins. Die Zukunft war die wichtigste Inspirationsquelle des Designers und Malers Syd Mead. Mit seinen Werken hat er ebenfalls inspiriert - Filme wie Blade Runner, oder Star Trek faszinieren bis heute. 33 Originalwerke von Syd Mead sind jetzt im Museum im Bellpark ausgestellt. Eine Premiere, so Hilar Stadler, Leiter des Museums und Kurator der Ausstellung. Sein Zugang zu Syd Mead war eindeutig Blade Runner aus dem Jahr 1982. Der Film lebt von Meads fiktiver Darstellung des Jahres 2019. Dem Jahr, in dem Mead dann schlussendlich an Krebs starb. Syd Meads Zukunftsvisionen sind aktueller den je, so Stadler. Mit Mega-Metropolen, die in allen Teilen der Welt aus dem Boden gestampft werden und einer Zukunft, die unsicher scheint. Übrigens: Wer Blade Runner gerne auf einer grossen Leinwand sehen möchte sollte sich den 12. September vormerken. An dem Samstag wird im Stattkino Luzern exclusiv der erste Blade Runner aus 1982 und die neue Version von 2017 gezeigt. Vorallem in Kombination mit der Ausstellung ist das eine einmalige Gelegenheit.
Greetings, programs, and welcome to The I/O Tower: a podcast for all things TRON. I'm your host, David Fleming. In part 3 of my interview with TRON visual effects supervisor Richard Taylor, we jump in with Jeff Bridges, Cindy Morgan and Bruce Boxleitner playing video games, and hear more about Syd Mead's and Moebius's designs and the challenges of creating the first film ever to take place in a computer environment. Richard shares stories from the making of TRON, like when their massive lights blew out the transformers in all of Burbank, CA! He reflects on the Oscars from that year, and why TRON wasn't nominated despite being the first film to feature 20 minutes of full-frame computer-generated imagery. TRON didn't do very well at the box office, but Richard describes how a key marketing opportunity fell through, leaving much of TRON's potential movie-goers in the dark. He compares the computing power required for all of TRON to that for just one frame of TRON: Legacy, and tells us the best way to view TRON today (spoiler alert: it requires that Blu-Ray disc you already have and a giant projector/screen combo that you probably don't). Richard opens up about the stroke he suffered last August, his greatest fear, his renewed admiration for the human mind and life, and how he's recovering and growing creatively. Lastly, he pays tribute to legendary visual futurist Syd Mead, who passed away in December. Read more about Richard and his vast body of work at richardtaylordesign.com. END OF LINE

Greetings, programs, and welcome to The I/O Tower: a podcast for all things TRON. I'm your host, David Fleming. This is part two of my three-part interview with TRON visual effects supervisor Richard Taylor. Today, Richard picks right up from his work at Robert Abel & Associates, taking us on a deep dive into how that work found its way into TRON and the techniques used to create the special effects of TRON—glowing circuits, light cycles, disc streaks and tails, sparks when the tank crashes, and so many more! We also get to know about many of the people of TRON, from those working behind the scenes to render each of its 24 frames per second, to those leading its creation such as director Steven Lisberger, co-effects supervisor Harrison Ellenshaw, and visual futurists Syd Mead, Jean 'Moebius' Giraud, and Peter Lloyd. In Part 3 to air later, Richard talks about TRON's reception within the film industry, the marketing of TRON, and how TRON has changed the world for so many artists and moviegoers. We also talk about the recent traumatic event in Richard's life when he suffered a stroke, and how he's recovering and moving forward creatively. END OF LINE

Minute 5 is now up! In this minute, we meet CLU and BIT in their tank as they investigate and infiltrate memory systems on behalf of Kevin Flynn, looking for his file. My guest co-host for this minute is the insightful Chris Stewart. It’s another long one so strap in. This was recorded before Syd Mead passed away so my apologies for saying that he is still alive.
Concept artist and designer Syd Mead (Blade Runner, TRON) has influenced how we envision science fiction and the future.
Futurist Syd Mead showed the whole world what 2019 would look like way back in 1982 and then, weirdly enough, ended up dying in 2019. I smell a conspiracy. Meantime, Matthew Price gives us the longest Roll Call of all time. Listen in!

At the very end of 2019, we lost yet another Blade Runner great: visual futurist, designer, and artist Syd Mead. In this episode, Jaime, Patrick, and Dan pay tribute to the man who was integral to much of the concept design and visual feel of Blade Runner, Aliens, Tron, and Blade Runner 2049 among many other films. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Mr. Mead, and we offer this episode as a final thank you to a man who has taken us by the hand for most of our lives and turned our collective dreams of the future into a tangible reality that will live on forever. // iTunes: bit.ly/shoulderoforionitunes // Google Play: bit.ly/shoulderoforiongoogleplay // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

Syd Mead envisoned vehicles, streetscapes and gadgets for Blade Runner, Tron, Aliens and many other films. He died December 30 at age 86. DnA pays tribute to this “visual futurist” who anticipated, and inspired, new technologies and the discipline of world building. And used clothing is a hot fashion trend. But for some young shoppers, vintage means... the '90s. KCRW's Tyler Boudreaux reports from ThriftCon.

Today we are so happy to be welcome back Man One! He has been gallivanting all over the world and in particular had an amazing research trip to Asia, spending time in Hong Kong and Tokyo for an upcoming job he is working on with RTI. The trip was so special and inspiring in many ways and we reflect on the highlights and talking points from the experience. The conversation covers cultural exchange and embracing difference, a ton of interesting observations that Man One made around norms and practices, and the art scene in both the major cities he visited. We also get into why the Japanese offer pay per view golf in their hotels, an amazing venue in Tokyo where Man One spent time, and trash trucks that play music on their garbage routes! Man One also reminisces about his time in Osaka in 1999 and painting with design students in the mountains, contrasting that experience with this trip, twenty years later. For all this and then some, be sure to join us on the Not Real Art Podcast, today! Key Points From This Episode: Man One's recent trip to Hong Kong and Japan and what he got up to. The importance of relationships in business and career development. How Man One visited Japan in 1999 to teach graffiti to design students. Pay per view golf in Japanese hotels and the strange reason it even exists. Trash trucks, respect for the blind and how different cultures approach death. The bar that Man One visited in Tokyo and the surprising guest who was there. The Japanese art scene, bombing and the maintenance of the city. Street art in Hong Kong and the local approach and intention behind it. Mile long escalators, Tesla Ubers and a driver with ten phones. No matter where you go in the world outside the US, people know that you are American. The life-size Gundam site that Man One had always want to visit. And much more!

INTERMISSION. Chris and Rudi watched and then discuss 2010 - Peter Hyams' 1984 follow-up to the 20th Century's greatest work of art. After some initial grumblings, Chris reviews the plot and subplots before they begin multiple rounds of the "compliment sandwich" game. Items discussed: Syd Mead's futurism, Konami codes, indoor/outdoor dolphins, Omni magazine, and flirting by proxy syndrome.
On this episode of 70s Trek, we’ll discuss the man who designed V’Ger. Syd Mead was brought in to do one job: That was designing something strange and unusual for the alien craft seen in Star Trek The Motion Picture. What he created was actually the second V’Ger model. The first was made by Abel and Associates. It didn’t turn out so well...just like so much that was connected with this film. The model was only four-feet long and looked like a submarine. After Abel and Associates were fired, the new visual effects supervisor, Douglass Trumbull, hired Syd Mead to do a new design. The resulting model was 68-feet long! Big enough to show on screen how large and imposing V'Ger was meant to be. His creation looks like it has organic origins, like it was grown, rather than built. Unfortunately, we never get to clearly see the whole model in the theatrical version of the film, only sections up close.
Syd Mead is a living legend in the world of futuristic design. I’ve been privileged to work with Syd for the better part of 20 years. In this final episode of season three, I cover many of the facets that make Syd’s mind a bonafide treasure for the world. Enjoy.

Today, Sully is back to discuss Syd Mead, over the shoulder tracking shots, and how James Horner was like The Ramones.
Syd Mead is a designer, an artist and a futurist whose career spans five plus decades of creativity and vision. He started at the Ford Motor Company’s Advanced Design Studio and then traveled the world illustrating books, catalogues, and product design for a wide variety of corporate entities. He created architectural renderings for most of the best firms and then moved in to the motion picture industry where he designed and illustrated for iconic films. In 2016 the Visual Effects Society awarded Syd their top honor as Visual Futurist. His first love is transportation design and Syd’s art and design can be found around the world. His latest book, the Movie Art of Syd Mead: Visual Futurist will be available in September, 2017 through Titan Publications. His autobiography is in the works as well titled A Future Remembered. This June Syd will receive a lifetime design achievement award at the Eleanor Ford estate in Grosse Point Shores, Michigan during the Eyes On Design Collector Car Show.

Sin duda es una de las preguntas universales y que se tratan en la obra maestra producto original del maestro de la ciencia ficción Philip K.Dick, de dónde vengo, adónde voy, cuánto tiempo me queda... Mitica, magica, irrepetible, sorprendente, inolvidable. De pequeño la recuerdo como una película algo rollo que no llegaba a entender pero que me dejaba un regusto extraño que me obligaba a volverme a sentar frente a la tele cada vez que la "segunda cadena" la programaba a altas horas de la noche. Con el paso de los años se ha convertido en una compañera de viaje que vuelve recurrentemente al dia a dia y que "ya no" sorprendentemente se asemeja a la sociedad y la situación que vivimos a dia de hoy. Una vez más nos juntamos embelesados por la oscuridad, el humo y el saber hacer de Ridley Scott, Syd Mead, Vangelis, Philip K.Dick, Rutger Hauer, Harrison Ford y una inacabable elenco de genios que convirtieron un proyecto nada atractivo para los estudios de Hollywood en una de las películas más idolatradas por los cinéfilos de todo el planeta. Roberto Garcia, Isaac Gomez, David Webb, Juan Sanchez, Angel Codón y Domingo Dark Vinyl pasan el test Void Kampf durante 90 minutos. Humanos o Replicantes... tu decides que somos
