Steven Lisberger (born April 24, 1951) is the creator, co-writer and director of the movie, Tron. He also worked on the film's unique special effects, especially the trademark "glowing circuitry" of Tron. He is currently working on two movie projects including the long-awaited Tron Sequel.
Before Tron
Steven Lisberger's beginnings in animation started in 1973, with a short film that he directed and animated with fellow animator, Eric Ladd, called Cosmic Cartoon. The cartoon itself is very psychedelic and features many different animation techniques.
Soon after, Lisberger founded Lisberger Studios, an animation studio in Boston, Massachusetts. Unfortunately, very few animators lived on the East Coast of the United States and work was hard to find. Eventually, a movie was made called, "Animalympics".
