The New Civic commercial steals Tron Light Cycles!

on Friday, December, 15, 2006 11:58 PM

Ok So I was up late the other night. And I saw this new commecial from Civic. And I saw that they copied the intro to tron. Not only that but they copies the Light Cycle game grid almost exactly! They even have two people in tron costumes in it. The cars are shaped like normal cars. But they leave a trail of light behind!

Can they just rip of the whole tron world and use it in a commercial? DO you think the created of Tron even know this?

Sorry if this is a repost. If anyone has the video of the commercial please post it to youtube or something so everyone can see it here.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

Yeah, this has been mentioned about four times now . . . it's even on the front page of Tron-Sector if you scroll down a bit.

But it's such a cool commercial, it deserves to be mentioned again.

Regarding a video clip, you can see it here (in Quicktime):

As for whether the people who worked on Tron know about this commercial . . . well, by now they all probably do, but Richard Taylor certainly knows about it (he was the computer graphics supervisor on Tron). In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he even helped them out with the commercial.

Off topic yes, but I elect this post as kindest post of the month.

On any other forum, ANY OTHER FORUM:

The reply would have been something like this by my experience:

"This has been posted four times now just use the fricken search button! Topic locked"

Or something like that. Man I love this community. You even provided a link to the commercial. so different.

Back on business:

It's interesting how tron still has a lasting impact to today. If only there were some way to make another one.

I couldn't agree more!!! Tron-Sector wasn't the first forum I frequented but it sure has become my favorite. Now if I could just find the time to be here more.

The irony with that, Hikaru-- does the search button even work? (Just saying that it'd be impossible to say something like that, y'know.)

I'm pretty sure it'd be hard to rip off Tron without anyone being aware of it now.

Kia: Cool. I'm a infamous mythological perfect User.

Kia is right . . . unfortunately, the Search button doesn't work properly. So that's probably part of the reason why we're getting repeated threads on the same subject.

Hopefully the remaining site issues will be fixed, some day.

LOL! so true

There is a small blurb about the commercial in the new 3Dworld Magazine. I've been lazy but I will get it posted up on here. It gives a little insight how they did the visuals. FYI for the impatient, the commercial was animated in Maya.

More later...
