The Ellenshaw Museum: Tron (1982)
With the recovery of our castaway Passamaquoddians, things are slowly getting back to normal. So, I decided I’d take a walk through at the Ellenshaw Museum. Today I headed back toward the Harrison wing.
Although viewers of Tron spent mst of the time inside a video game, there was a small portion that happened in the “real world”. And in the real world there are cubicles. And more cubicles. And more cubicles. Ellenshaw, who acted as a Visual Effects Supervisor andAssociate Producer on the film, grabbed his oils and brushes and provided us with … cubicles.
If I heard correctly, TRON will be playing tonight, shown on the side of the schoolhouse – the non-Dragon smash side – provided the weather behaves – we certainly don’t want to lose folk again.
If you’d like a tour of the Ellenshaw museum, type “Ellenshaw” in the right menu search engine.

Doc, While watching the old Zorro episodes I have noticed many scenes that most likely include touches from Mr. Ellenshaw. In particular there are scenes where Zorro and his faithful horse Toronado jump from one canyon wall to another. If I could get a scree capture I would send it to you. But alas I still can seem to figure out why they always come out black.

Indeed, Peter Ellenshaw did create some matte work for Zorro. Some of the smaller pieces for television are even more interesting than the large feature film mattes. For television they are not only a cost cutting measure, but they also telescope information into one quick shot. We’d love to get some captures for the Ellenshaw museum.
