  • Music by Daft Punk Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
    ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK MUSIC BY DAFT PUNK © Disney Enterprises, Inc. I had been listening to Daft Punk for almost ten years before I met them at the 101 Coffee Shop in Hollywood one morning in November 2007. I sat down not knowing what to expect, and I was immediately struck by their deep knowledge and love of film and particularly the sanctity in which they held Steven Lisberger’sTRON. It quickly became clear to me that this had the potential to be an exciting collaboration. With topics that ranged from Bernard Hermann to Wendy Carlos, the discussion revealed a shared desire to create a score that blended classic orchestral themes with an electronic minimalism in a way that had never been done before. I walked out knowing that there was an opportunity here to create something truly special. Now, three years later, we are in the final stages of mixing and the result has truly exceeded my high expectations. Because the score was developed in parallel with the production of the film, I’ve had the opportunity to live with it for over a year now and it never fails to thrill and inspire me as we near the finish line. I am excited for you to experience Daft Punk’s first contribution to the world of film scoring – I have a feeling it won’t be their last. Joseph Kosinski / September 2010 © Disney Enterprises, Inc. More than twenty five years ago I inspired Daft Punk with the originalTRON. With this score, that inspiration has come back to me in full measure.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Looking at various newspapers, magazines and websites over the period 2004 to the present, it becomes apparent that our understanding of the reintroduction of stereoscopy (D3D) is anything but clear. There are disagreements among accounts of D3D regarding its artistic value, and its impact on the entertainment industry and audience. Over the 2004 to the present period, the digital screen period, I have seen D3D cast as an evolutionary step for the industry: ‘Why wouldn’t we want this Darwinian edge in our workplaces, in our sports and entertainment, in all our peak visual experiences?’ (Cameron in Cohen, 2008). I have seen it described as ‘the next great revolution’ of cinema (Giles & Katzenberg, 2010, p. 10) and as a facilitator of art, one that could aid the audience to enter the realm of the on-screen performer (Wenders in James, 2011, p. 22). I have also seen it described as artistically limited, with claims, such as, director, Werner Herzog’s ‘[that] you can shoot a porno film in 3D, but you cannot film a romantic comedy in 3D’ (Herzog in Wigley, 2011, p. 29). Newspaper headlines have described it as a health concern: ‘3D film strikes two movie-goers with bout of motion sickness’ (Helliwell, 2010, p. 2).2 As well, I have seen arguments expounding the idea that stereoscopy’s reintroduction is simply evidence that the popular film industry lacks ideas. For example, popular film critic, Roger Ebert, has argued that D3D was just ‘[a]nother Hollywood infatuation with a technology that was already pointless when their grandfathers played with stereoscopes’ (Ebert, 2010a).

  • You've Seen the Movie, Now Play The
    “YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE, NOW PLAY THE VIDEO GAME”: RECODING THE CINEMATIC IN DIGITAL MEDIA AND VIRTUAL CULTURE Stefan Hall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Ronald Shields, Advisor Margaret M. Yacobucci Graduate Faculty Representative Donald Callen Lisa Alexander © 2011 Stefan Hall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ronald Shields, Advisor Although seen as an emergent area of study, the history of video games shows that the medium has had a longevity that speaks to its status as a major cultural force, not only within American society but also globally. Much of video game production has been influenced by cinema, and perhaps nowhere is this seen more directly than in the topic of games based on movies. Functioning as franchise expansion, spaces for play, and story development, film-to-game translations have been a significant component of video game titles since the early days of the medium. As the technological possibilities of hardware development continued in both the film and video game industries, issues of media convergence and divergence between film and video games have grown in importance. This dissertation looks at the ways that this connection was established and has changed by looking at the relationship between film and video games in terms of economics, aesthetics, and narrative. Beginning in the 1970s, or roughly at the time of the second generation of home gaming consoles, and continuing to the release of the most recent consoles in 2005, it traces major areas of intersection between films and video games by identifying key titles and companies to consider both how and why the prevalence of video games has happened and continues to grow in power.

Kevin didn’t work the night shift or anything. He owned a software company, Encom, and he worked there…a lot. Sam loved his father’s stories because they were almost always about Tron, the hero of the popular video game his dad had invented. “The grid is the digital frontier,” Kevin would tell Sam. “Add quantum paring, biodigital teleportation, enfoldment, and they have the power to change everything…” Hold up, dad, Sam would think. I’m only seven! Even though Sam wasn’t quite old enough to understand everything his dad said, he loved the stories anyway and would always try to follow along. “I imagined what it looked like inside the computer,” Kevin would say to his son. “I kept dreaming of a world I thought I’d never see.

  • Linn Lounge Presents Daft Punk
    Linn Lounge presents Daft Punk Welcome to Linn Lounge presents Daft Punk Tonight we’re going take you on a musical journey, on an electronic journey, listening to Daft Punk in the highest quality available - on a Linn system. Some of the tracks that we’re going to play tonight are in the highest quality Studio Master format, letting you hear the music exactly as it was recorded, before it was altered to fit on a CD or squashed down to MP3 size. So sit back and relax as as we uncover the story behind the French Robo-Duo who brought disco back to the masses. Play ‘Get Lucky’ (Studio Master) – 06:09 Emerging from the kindling flames of early acid-house, Daft Punk represent year zero for dance music as we know it. Bringing electro music to the mainstream, they took the tough, rocky, techno sound of bands like The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy and re-invented it with a four-four beat and melodic, disco style. Their impossibly catchy house music sounded just as great in the pop charts as it did in the deepest depths of a hardcore 90s rave. Surprisingly electro music was not the first interest of the French duo, though. Best friends from the age of 13, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo grew up enraptured by the greats of 60s and 70s pop-rock: The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, The Stooges… This mutual admiration led the boys to form their own band with a school-friend, Laurent Brancowitz, in 1992, calling themselves Darlin’ after a Beach Boys song.
