Very well said! 2001: A Space Odyssey is a groundbreaking and revolutionary film in so many different ways and I agree with everything that you said! Yes, it raised the bar for sci-fi special effects, yes, it changed the Sci-Fi genre and made people take it seriously as a respected and sophisticated artform and yes, it inspired a generation of filmmakers! I would also say the movie also inspired future scientists, inventors, engineers, astronauts, technicians, doctors, authors, artists, and people in a variety of different career fields. I'm an aspiring author( and comic book writer and illustrator) and 2001 has been a big influence for the kinds of books and comic books that I want to write!
All this techniques were (at least) a decade old when Kubrik made 2001. Royal Weddings in 1951 used a rotative set Oskar Fischinger invented the technique used in Vertigo and 2001 Projection techniques using mirrors were common in the 40s and 50s What i mean is that it's ok to try to make people aware of 2001 as an spectacular achievement of cinema history but you could just focus on other stuff rather than technical because is a great use of this techniques but not an innovative one.
I've always wondered why rotating sets were needed for people that didn't need to appear being thrown to the side (as in the film examples shown). If they remained upright the entire time, it would have been easier to do nothing more than rotate the camera as they walked down a stationary corridor.

There was no CGI when 2001 was made back in the 1960s. That kind of technology simply didn't exist back then, so they made do with what they had and what was available to them and I have to say how impressed I am by how well to this day, well over 50 years later, the movie still holds up and looks better than some movies being made now! Now that in of itself is an achievement when nearly 60 years later, you can say that your film still holds up! 2001 really was ahead of it's time!
1:17 Desinformation The motion control, create in 1976 by John dykstra from ilm in star wars, on 2001, trumbull use the classic camera movement with front projection and miniature model
@@katush8810 Star Wars pioneered motion control camera technique, created by ILM for that, pioneering new tech exactly like 2001. But 2001 did not have motion control cameras, they used camera movement (or spacecraft movement).
2001 is a beautiful movie but none of the techniques listed here were brand new. Rotating sets were built for: "Dancing on the Ceiling" (Fred Astair, 1951) and earlier for "The Boat" (Eddie Cline, Buster Keaton, 1921) and even earlier for "When the Clouds Roll By" (Victor Fleming, 1919). The Slit Scan was invented in 1843 and called the "Ellipsen dagherrotype" and used for cool psychedelic stuff in the the experimental film "Catalog" in 1961 by John and his James Whitney and their film "Lapis" (1966). 2001 didn't use what we call motion control. They used an animation stand, and motorized camera mounts which is not exactly "motion control". "King Kong" (1933) used miniature front projection along with every other thing they could think of. Not that 2001 isn't really cool and all...
The 2001 space station is so simplistic in concept I keep wondering why [other than obvious cost etc] it hasn't been used even on a small scale. It makes no sense to me of how many decades has past we only have an expensive toy [International Space Station] erector station in low orbit.
There are videos that show how the human body can't handle small rotating space stations because it will confuse the inner ear too much and make one ill. So you need a larger structure, at least 300 meters or so in diameter, to overcome that. Oddly that is exactly the diameter of Space Station V in 2001...
I feel exactly the same way. A lot of people have said exactly the same thing. I don't know if NASA has ever given an official answer as to why they haven't ever even tried to build a rotating space station like the one in 2001 Honestly, I don't understand why NASA or a foreign government has never tried to build a rotating space station that simulates artificial gravity. Given how much money the space program costs and how much money countries have spent on space exploration( when we still can't get things straightened out and properly in order right here on this planet), I'm genuinely surprised and puzzled why NASA or anyone else hasn't done it or even TRIED to do it.
@@JR-ju3kj The actual problem in reality is size, money to fund it and right now research and experiments up there rely on a lack of gravity. If say the spacecraft is small, the faster it has to rotate which can make the astronauts disoriented, so if you're going to generate gravity safely it's got to be done with a very large spacecraft that spins very slowly. The bigger the disk, the slower you can rotate it. Also, the disorienting thing will happen if your ship or station has any windows in it. If a spacecraft's rotating portion were too small, residents would feel a huge difference in the force imposed on their heads and what they felt on their feet. They'd end up dizzy and lightheaded because blood would be drawn down, away from the brain. Right now there's no spacecraft on the drawing board big enough to do this. It would have to be a very large, larger than a football field. A true viable ship at that scale, a rotating spacecraft becomes one heck of an expense. For now, short-term space travel doesn't really need artificial gravity. In fact, most of the research done on ISS relies on the lack of gravity. And on a long-term mission, say, to Mars would need a big fuel-hungry spacecraft.

The material used for reflecting the projected image (Scotchlite) back to the camera is insanely reflective. (micro beaded) But only at an exact angle. So precise placement of the camera is necessary. But once nailed, look out. I bought a piece of it in the 1980's to fool with. (shooting Super 8 ) The ratio of reflectivity is so high that the projected image does not register on the ape suits, Tapirs, jaguar, etc. But it was reflected by the rear of the jaguar's eyes. Scotchlite can be found now on strips on the jackets of highway workers, etc. They use it for responding to headlights, mostly. You've seen it. Imagine getting the giant scotchlite screen to be perfect for 2001.
The African front projections and all scenes where you see the background with or without anything in the foreground were all still photos, so not technically “footage”.

As incredible as the effects were for the time, they do not reflect the reality of living in space. No one uses velcro shoes to walk up a wall. They just float from point to point (think Apollo 13). And even for long term space flight, it appears the use of centrifuges to simulate gravity is out. The structural and mechanical challenges are too great plus, depending on how large the centrifuge radius is, the inhabitants would experience disorientation when changing direction while walking on the floor. None of this takes anything away from 2001. The film was made with the knowledge they had at the time, and a need to not disorient the audience.
There was no motion control in 2001 and no use of computers for controlling the cameras. Also the you have rear projection and front projection mixed up. 2001 used rear projection not front projection. Poorly researched video
Doh!! 2001 used Front Projection. Also, they used a non-computerized form of motion control for shooting the Discovery ship. They moved the camera or ship on a slowing turning worm-gear, that was accurately repeatable enough for their purposes.
0:28 - Why is is a stunning sequence? It's awkward and slow as she shuffles around the ring as the direction of gravity changes. Someone get that lady a walker.
