Problem solving at Aria Group in Los Angeles during the set build. On the wheel, digital modeler Joe Hiura. Its not as bad as I look there. Just need to find solutions quickly.

The size of the cockpit was kept rather large to work better on camera.

Time for a drink. Celebrating at the London premiere. Tron stars Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde, director Joe Kosinski, producer and Disney head of production Sean Bailey and little me. What an overwhelming journey, I will always remember that time.
