My favorite thing about Tron Legacy is that my dad got to see his son’s name way, way down the credit roll before he died.
My second favorite thing is that night we all went out into the parking lot outside the Whale and contributed the backs of our heads to the crowd fill.
My third favorite thing is that I’m pretty sure the movie wouldn’t have made its premiere if it hadn’t been for some last-minute Python I wrote to fill the last drive to rush out the door.
God, was DD a good place to work.

- yawpitch 3y agoNot much, really, just validating some incoming work from an outsource vendor, kicking off some conversions and bookkeeping entries in a database, then copying the critical files required by the edit to the external drive to be hand-carried to the finishing suite… problem was the outsource stuff showed up REAL last minute, and didn’t match what it was supposed to. So basically glorified ETL with one hell of an expensive deadline.
- Feverish001 3y agoI watched a preview of that movie during a high school Disneyland trip and was completely blown away. It was nice to watch the whole thing once it came out, since it was one of the few movies I was excited for at the time. Thanks for your hard work to make it a reality
