[moley]

Tron was correct.....

Tron was one of the first movies to make extensive use of any form of computer animation, and is celebrated as a milestone in the industry; but only fifteen to twenty minutes of such animation were used, mostly scenes that show digital "terrain" or patterns or include vehicles such as light-cycles, tanks and ships. Because the technology to combine computer animation and live action did not exist at the time, these sequences were interspersed with the filmed characters. The computer used had only 2MB of memory, with a disc that had no more than 330MB of storage. This put a limit on detail of background; and at a certain distance, they had a procedure of mixing in black to fade things out, a process called "depth cueing". The movie's Computer Effects Supervisor Richard Taylor told them "When in doubt, black it out!", which became their motto.

Most of the scenes, backgrounds, and visual effects in the film were created using more traditional techniques and a unique process known as "backlit animation".

I forgot I entered this.

A bit disappointed that "Harry Potter and the Itchy Ballsack" didn't score less.

[The Raven]

Nice to see that Tubeguru put in a lot of effort into the quiz.

[tubeguru]

Well James was moaning no one had entered, so I decided to oblige.

Do the scores stand, or does Moley score (or not) for Tron?

[tractakid]

Tron was correct.....

For question 4 at least

Glad to win one of these, even though it was a tie. A little annoyed at my incorrect answers.

I'll adjust it in a bit, don't worry.

And given that Tubeguru entered in July during the original time limit, I don't think he can use the excuse of bumping up the numbers...

[tubeguru]

Have you adjusted it yet?

[jamesthegill]

Should be adjusted now. I've been trying to dodge the network admin at work so may not be correct.

[tractakid]

Shouldn't Moley's score be 32?

As far as I am aware he scored 2 thrice and 4 once.

You're right, thank you. Knew there was something not quite right!
