One thing I love about 2001 is that it’s like Fantasia: you’re not there for an exact narrative. You’re there for the visuals, abstract concepts/imagery, the music that goes along with the scene, and to admire the fact it was made.
Fantasia is a slept on masterpiece. In a way the medium peaked with Fantasia and that was in 1940.
2001: A Space Odyssey will go down in history as the greatest sci-fi movie. These videos will go down in history as the greatest study of 2001: A Space Odyssey ever. Splendid work.
Since I’m watching in 2018 I had no idea you dedicated 2 years to this series. That’s respectable, we need more like you.
My favorite moment in my favorite movie happens at the end of 2001. David is in his spacesuit and you can clearly hear him breathing. In a film, when there is a shot of someone's expression, the shot you cut to is that character's point of view (POV). This POV shot is David seeing himself as an older man, eating. One more shot of spacesuit David, breathing loudly and staring. Then the opposing shot is older David coming to look, but the breathing is gone! *We're in a POV shot for a character that is NO LONGER THERE!* This is the most perfect moment of cinematic existentialism that has ever or will ever be accomplished.
This series has been the most enjoyable documentary I have ever seen
Thank you!
Dude, this kind of content has infinite value. Surely your videos will live long and prosper through the internet. Videos like these can make a huge difference in the internet and the real world. Thank you so much for this content.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it!
very well said and great observation.
This makes one think deeper about this kind of movie.
THIS WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY TOP 2 OR 3 MOVIES OF ALL TIME
Could not have said it better.
Epic series you have made, that truly puts you in a small way directly with the awesomeness of the film itself.
No doubt your hard work will inspire many here. Bravo!
im seeing this for the first time, nearly 2 years since it was first uploaded. Never understood 2001 as a child when I first saw clips of it on cable TV, watched it for the first time in completion 6 years ago. This series has brought me closer to understanding the insurmountable work that Kubrick has put into the production of this film.
I absolutely agree with Leonardo. This series is amazing. A master class in 2001. Well crafted visuals and writing. This is a fantastic resource. Thank you!
I know this is a cliche comment. But I mean this with all sincerity, best videos on the internet. You should be proud of these. Thank you
Thanks so much!
You are a genius, this is the best 2001 documentary series I've ever seen.
You've compiled the most extensive work on one of the most influential pieces of art of all time. Beyond marvelous work! Your admiration for Kubrick is evident. what a tribute this is for him!
Thanks so much!
This is most likely the most comprehensive study of the production on TH-cam. Congratulations!
Thanks!
2001 is a masterpiece. The critics who blasted it just weren’t getting it. I own a copy and watch it whenever I can.
Just watched your entire series on this film. Very well done. Thank you very much. I have a renewed admiration of the film and Kubrick.
I’m a new subscriber.
Best 2001 documentary of all time... Thank you for the great job. Watched the Kubrick movie at least 10 times and still learned so much in each of your episode.
Thank you!
Same to me. Real content. SK would have appreciated the accuracy of your work..
2001 is and will ever be my favorite film.
Thank you for this elaborate and beautiful love letter to this masterpiece.
Glad you liked it!
Dude. You put everybody to shame with these videos, but you still get almost no recognition for it. Keep doing what you're doing, man. You're awesome.
Thanks! More is on the way!
Old guy here, I saw the movie when it first came out as a youth seeing the spaceships orbiting earth with the Blue Danube made perfect sense (old people at the time didn't get it). I perceived the stargate scene as the psychedelic scene (old people at the time didn't get it). It all made sense that by the time I'm an old man there will be regular trips to orbit and the Moon, which so far it's still years away (and Pan Am went out of business).
Nice series compiling various sources, good explanation about who was credited for special effects at the Oscars and who actually did them. I was always confused as I couldn't perceive Kubrick doing all the effects at the same time directing and producing a movie (and have read of the work Trumball and Pederson did but yet it isn't really clear in the screen credits).
I think what made this movie effective was that none of the aliens were seen. Even if they created something impressive it would have ruined the ending and entire movie. I know for a fact that after watching the movie including a couple times through 1970s when some theatre will feature it, my friends and I would debate and argue about what this movie was about. What is the monolith? What is the stargate (wormhole in space or the mind imagining stuff like on drugs)? Why did HAL go bonkers? Can computers develop a mind of its own? What was the room at the end all about? What were those noises? Did Bowman actually see an older of himself? When the glass fell and broke, was this a deliberate move by Bowman to see if physics behave like on earth? What is the star child all about? Finally I got the book and read it, which answered all those questions. Took the mystery out of the movie, and shucks, no more arguments about what the movie meant.
Thanks for the comment! I totally agree about the aliens. I think the ambiguity is what makes the film so intriguing.
@weighted - bullshit. I was 28 when I saw it in first-run theater the summer of 68 when it was released. Everyone I was with got it even the over thirty guys.
Tyler, this is an outstanding series. I watched the movie tonight with my teenage son and I'm in awe of how a 56-year-old movie still looks like it was made today. Your series here really helped me make sense of how Kubrick and Clarke were able to make the illusion complete. Your videos here have helped me because I couldn't sleep without knowing how they did it with 1965 technology before blue/green screens!
Well, don't keep us in suspense! What did your teenage son think of it?
I saw this movie in 1968, at the Ziegfeld theater in midtown manhattan. I was 12 years old, and allowed to travel on the subway alone. It's been one of , if not my favorite film, ever since. This is the best documentary on the film I've ever seen, bar none. Thank you.
2001: A Space Odyssey was my film crit final documentary thesis in 1979 when I was in broadcast school. I saw it first in 1970 when my older brother snuck me to view it as I was underage. I then saw it 49 weeks in a row on Monday nights at a repertory theatre that projected the film in CinemaScope. My documentary report paled in comparison to your series which was fantastic. I applaud your critique and incredible documentary abilities in what is my favorite film. Thank You so much for you intensive work and intelligent commentary on what I believe to be a milestone in film excellence. I still believe that 2001 was the most accurate SF film ever made. (The airlock sequence in orbit of Jupiter, with silence, then the cacophony of air injection into the airlock). Again my thanks. I’ve subscribed...
Fantastic series, mate.
So well researched and articulated.
My Mother took me along to see this when it was released. I was only four.
I can still remember looking up at her after we'd left the cinema...and asking her what it was all about. She looked down and smiled and asked "didn't you understand it?" like she expected me to actually be able to figure it out while still a pre-schooler. :-)
It didn't take me very long.
I've watched it over 150 times in the years since.
This film (and the Apollo 11 landings a few months later) made a lifelong, indelible impression on me about the Nature of the Cosmos.
Something that still keeps me getting out of bed to this day.
You should be proud of what you've done, here.
Thank you! I can only imagine how great it was to see 2001 in the context of when it was made. Thanks for sharing!
Well put mate.. My mother was completely baffled when she saw 2001 with me back in 68.. I was almost 10 and completely smitten by Kubrick's masterpiece. Well over 150 viewings and many SCI FI film projects as a SFX artist since; this one film has remained my all time favorite. Recently I inspired my oldest daughter with her first look and she'll be watching this series after a few more passes. Sadly by caring for my dying father I missed the anniversary and this incredible tribute until just a few days ago. We did watch 2001 together before he passed into the infinite and I often made him laugh calling him Bowman as he resembled Dullea at the films end. With the purchase of several kits released at the anniversary I'm thrilled to relive it all over again. Cheers ComaDave and especially to you Tyler for this incredible series. I look forward to seeing the Kubrick Exhibit in London in a few months!
Even some grown up adults failed to understand this film and becomes the haters.
I'm still glad that your mother introduced you this masterpiece.
As a lifelong film nut I have to extend a heartfelt and sincere thank you for such an in depth, meticulously researched documentary on this iconic work of art - I've spent a great deal of my adult life contemplating what this fascinating film means and the process used in bringing it to reality. Kubrick is a gifted filmmaker who transcends the physical process of filming an story to make a movie and creates tangible, breathing fluid works of art that will be studied and analyzed for years to come. Thank you for your efforts - I'm now hooked on your channel.
These 7 videos are amazing. Someone needs to string them all together into a full on documentary. 2001 will always be on of my favorite films of all time
Dude you deserve a medal for this...!
I now want to make film more than ever...
The industry tells us that the BEST movies are those that score big at the box office - what I have learned - "the best movies are those you can watch after 40 years and still carry meaning"
Well done!!
Thanks so much! I totally agree. Box office speaks so much more to the marketing than the quality of the actual movie.
I don't think we never gonna experience this type of artform life movie again, thank you Kubrick more than filmmaker an MASTERMIND
Congratulations, Tyler. You've have created the definitive telling of Kubrick's masterpiece.
What a fascinating and lovingly obsessed story of creation.
I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey when it first arrived in the cinema in Toledo. I was a child. I went with my father. The effect it had on me has stayed with me for over fifty years. I vividly remember the awe I felt then; the sense that this was something unique and important. In all that time I didn't know what to make of the last third of the movie; the journey that Dave takes on his own. Your excellent series gave me insight, and understanding, not just about that portion, but about the entire film.
I had no idea about the intracacies of the techniques that Mr. Kubrick and his technical specialiists created and used. Your fine description of these innovations is outstanding. I am overwhelmed by the effort and genius that went into the movie. Your videos have added a dimension of appreciation of this great film that I didn't think possible.
Thank you very much for the research you did and the fine presentation of the work, both physical and intellectual, that went into this film.
Your series stands out as one of the most intelligent and insightful presentations I've seen. It is this sort of thing that gives dignity and meaning to the misused internet. Thank you very much. Bravo.
Incredible. I absolutely love 2001 and had no idea about how much work was done to make such an amazing film. I stumbled accross these videos and have been immersed and facinated with your documentary series.
This exposition on the techniques and decisions inside the production of "2001" are almost as adroitly and precisely executed as the movie itself. Bravo, sir. Very well done.
I have no words... I saw 2001 when I was 14 years old. The story and the film's ambiguity captivated me and is one of the reasons I'm now into filmmaking. Truly a masterpiece. Thank you so much for such a detailed and interesting documentary, like someone on the comments said, a beautiful tribute to Kubrick and all the people involved in its production.
Keep on doing this kind of quality content! You definitely deserve more subs and recognition.
Thanks so much! I'm so happy to hear that 2001 continues to inspire other filmmakers/cinephiles as much as it has inspired me.
I've watched all 7 parts of your mini documentary. I was like a child watching Saturday morning cartoons. I throughly enjoyed watching each part, while learning so much about what has to one of the greatest movies ever made. The work, the attention to detail, lighting, sound, special effects etc. Its impressive work. Before the advent of c.g. this painstakingly made. Today C.G. does all the work, including those who make look so real you question what's real. The mind is so powerful in helping us to make this journey. It is amazing. I watched the movie just to admire the work that both you and Stanley Kubrick did. Thank you both.
9:12 it's so bizarre to see a film crew in this legendary room.
Totally agree!
And an Alfred Hitchcock lookalike among them.
All 7 parts of this series are, to me, the best documentary on 2001, and one of the best documentaries about a film ever made.
Damn, that was a good series! The amount of effort you put into these videos is exemplary. Keep it up!
Thank you! More videos on the way!
I can’t thank you enough for showing how my favorite movie was made. I never appreciated Kubrik's genius and vision. After all these years the impact of this short documentary on me is profound. The physical camera work and the expertise required to to make 2001 happen is mind boggling. What a craft.
Bro this is the kind of youtube documentary I thought only existed in my imagination. Where it's visual, it's super interesting, it has a nice soothing narrating voice, it's what I expected when I saw the title, like what the hell...that never happens haha
Loved this series. Congratulations man, brilliant work.
Just finished watching Parts 1-7. Completely amazing series. From special effects, to research, to delivery. Couldn't have done a better job. Well done.
Just watched through every part today and loved every second of it. The quality of this series would make PBS jealous. Thank you for putting in the time and effort for this. You got yourself another well-earned sub.
Thank you! It blows my mind that people are interested in listening to me talk about 2001 for over 3 hours! :)
I have to say, these are BY FAR the best in depth look at this amazing movie. Equaling the quality and detail of the actual movie. Great work.
this documentary is a masterpiece
I was lucky to attend a 70mm screening last year, I walked out speechless despite watching it multiple times on a small screen. Thanks for the brilliant series, made me appreciate the film more!
Measured and penetrating analysis. This is what youtube should be about. Your AWE comment hits the nail on the head. No bleeding heart characters. The thrust of the film is awe at something beyond our experience but so well executed we believe it and it stays fresh - I first saw it 40 years ago.
When I saw it as a teenager in the 70's I couldn't fully comprehend how important this film was... but I knew I had seen something significant. It has stayed with me for life. Nothing has come close, since.
just binged this series today and i almost teared up a couple times, i just watched the film for the first time recently and went into it knowing nothing about it, it is easily one of my favorite films now and this documentary has been just as enjoyable for me, i can tell you put so much effort and love into this!
A magnificent movie and a magnificent documentary. Here it is 50 years later, and it's still relevant and beautiful, a vision of what could have and should have been. Tragic in that real life, 2001 was such a dreadful year.
I came across this playlist only this morning, and watched the entire series nonstop. It is simply beautiful the way you dissected this film in terms of methods of film making and the philosophy behind the story. Even after so many years, people can learn new aspects about this work of art. I am an aspiring cinematographer and you have just given me an entire universe of inspiration and insight. Thank you so much for content like this.
Yours truly,
A subscriber till the end of the universe :)
Surprising, beautiful and revealing documentary about one of the most intriguing, impressive and creative films in the history of cinema. It has been a delight to finally find out how Kubrick achieved such a number of scenes and effects. Thanks a lot.
Absolutely fantastic video. Can't believe it was two years ago that this series started. If the progression of quality in this series is any indication, I'm tremendously excited to see where your content goes from here!
Thanks! I can't believe it either! It was pure coincidence that I happened to be finishing this up on the the anniversary of the first episode.
Every time I watch 2001 I have to remind myself it came out in 1968. The effects are so mind-blowing amazing, and the fact that CGI wasn't a thing just makes it even more amazing. After watching your series I'm once again blown away at the amount of work that went into. This movie truly is a timeless masterpiece. Thank you for making this documentary.
On a dull Sunday in late January you have kept me enthralled for the last 3 hours straight. Thank You!
Just finished all 7, superbly researched and produced documentary. Thank you. Amazing how well this film has held up for over 50 years; as each year ticks by, it never looks outdated.
Cinema Tyler Definitely the best 2001 documentary ever - Bravo! Thank you very much - greatly enjoyed.
I was 13 years young when I saw 2001 in a Century 21 theater equipped for Cinerama with that huge curved screen and surround sound - all new tech. I have the 2001 Century 21 Cinerama brochure. Tickets were $2.50. My friend and I didn't watch a movie, we had an experience.
Thanks so much! I can only imagine how amazing it was to watch it in Cinerama!
@@CinemaTyler You made me remember, I've read some years ago about a Cinerama equiped theatre in London, where they re-release movies.
We need to find out in internet. I'll do it now.
Just completed the whole series in a binge. Being a Retired Engineer that worked in CT Scanners, Robotics, Machine Vision and Automation plus IT for the IC, I now have a MUCH DEEPER appreciate for the human effort and the imagination in 2001. But I also see here the objective of open interpretation and I agree, if you do not have a worker brain the film may have been boring, but for me, I have been filling in the blanks for over 45 years. I have never forgot the music, imagery and themes. You have done an amazing job to bring this all back to my frontal cortex, right next to Close Encounter, 5th Element, Snow Piercer, Roller Ball, Dr. Zhivago, American Graffiti and of course Animal House. Thank You. Dennis
Been looking forward to this for months. It didn't disappoint - the whole series is the most engaging and well researched making of Documentary I've ever seen. Thanks!
This makes me so happy! Thank you!
This commentary is perfect because you actually show the alien concept designs which I never thought existed
Just finished your "2001" series. I first had my mind blown by "2001" in 1968 at age 17, when I watched it in awe several times at the Hartford, CT, Cinerama theater. I've seen it in every possible format in the intervening years, never tiring of it, always finding something new and even surprising in the experience. My most recent viewing (BluRay, 55" HD) was about my 30th journey beyond the infinite. Your videos are as interesting and illuminating as anything I've read about the movie, and I've seen a lot of the mountain of printed material and published archives out there. I'm really looking forward to your effort on "Barry Lyndon" (my fan letter about which elicited a letter of response from Kubrick in 1976!) and "The Shining," and would suggest "Eyes Wide Shut" as a worthy subject, too. "2001" and "Barry" are my favorite films in a lifetime of movie-going, and I love the fact that they have found a place in the hearts and minds of so many young people, having been one of those myself when I first discovered them.
Thanks! It's amazing how timeless it has become considering it takes place in a time that has already passed. That's so amazing that Kubrick wrote you back!
This series helped me make a really ambitious science-fiction film for my high school's film program. I cannot believe how absurdly meticulous and well crafted 2001 is. Great work, Tyler, I hope you do more of these "How They Made" series on other difficult epics like Apocalypse Now, There Will Be Blood, etc.
Truly appreciative of the insurmountable amount of work you've done. A masterful documentary on every level.
Thank you so much!
I just finished watching your series on 2001. PHENOMENAL! it was probably the best documentary I have ever seen on it. It was thought provoking and even gave me new insight into a film that I have watched again again over the years. Thank you.
Your series is spectacular. I was there, at the Uptown Theater in DC. As an 11yo it left a lifelong impression on me. I couldn't sleep that night!
Thanks again for your great work. I learned so much. You have a great perspective.
Thanks! I can only imagine how amazing that must have been!
Just completed this series. Wow. There is content to view online, then there is something like this. Truly outstanding work. I intend to watch every video you have produced. This kind of video enriches the lives of those who watch it. Many thanks!
Brilliant series! Just FYI, the "weird alien sounds" in the baroque room when Bowman arrives is actually another Ligeti composition called "Adventures." More of it can be heard on the soundtrack CD.
OMG....your research is phenomenal!!!
Never saw such passion in the making of a movie like this one.
Your documentaries deserve an Oscar.
Greetings from Brasil
Very glad that I watched this series after all the videos have been uploaded. I could not have waited for them if not. Thank you for the great insights!
Thanks! You really lucked out-- I don't know how some had the patience to follow this series for two years! So glad it's finally finished!
Briefly as this could be long.....By the time I was 5 had devoured the 'Time Life' books (the universe, early man etc) my Mum had brought around '68-69 so I already had a fascination with science - only the pics tbh but loved it. Mum took me to see 2001 when I was about 8 years old, would of been about 1973/4 and yes, the beginning was a bit documentary for a 8 year old and then...the transition from bone to satellite. Hooked ever since. It still is the BEST sci-fi film ever made. No, its more than that and your series of vids on 2001 has put so much flesh and 'life' into this film that its now taken me beyond just a brilliant film. The technical parts are simply mind blowing in themselves, the time, money its all in these vids. Thanx you so very much for this, you should be proud of this work you have created. Again, thank you (big smiley face)
On one side, I regret to admit that I did not discovered this channel earlier. However, the ignorance enabled me to watch all the parts of the series in one go.
Firstly, I would like to congratulate you with heart and soul for such an amazing achievement. Your research, editing, narration and all aspects of the series were spot on and it was very enjoyable to watch. Two years is a long time to dedicate yourself for just one film and this fact increases my respect for you even more.
Secondly, belonging to a country whose main film industry produces the largest number of films in the world every year, we still have a long way to go to reach anything remotely close to 2001. I am a mechanical engineer myself with genuine love for world cinema and some of the innovative ideas the makers used in the film made me think "Damn, that was really smart!" With no major softwares, cgi, and other frequent used technologies in films, creating such an amazing space story is sheer brilliance. Thank you for showcasing it to the world.
Thirdly, and lastly, like other comments I would also suggest to stitch the series in one big video and may be pitch it to a studio. They might pick it up.
Once again, thank you for such an amazing series. I dont know what to do with my life right now!
Greetings from India and good luck for your future projects.
You lucked out! I can only imagine the patience people had to endure waiting for me to complete each part. Thank you so much for your kind words! I totally agree with you about the innovative ideas. There was something so creative about special effects before computers. I definitely want to turn it into a big video sometime. I also want to go back and tweak a couple of things because there were plenty of photos and articles that I came across toward the end of the series. Thanks again!
Omg you actually replied! I am honored. I wish you all the best for your future endeavors and will definitely wait for your next series. Good Day!
I saw 2001 in Hollywood as a kid, it still had the Pit dialogue.
Fantastic work sir, well done.
Thank you.
Congratulations on completing this massive project! I'm happy to come across passion projects such as this, as passion is infectious! It radiates from the screen, and affects those who see it.
Whatever endeavors you may do in the future, I hope they will be things you are as passionate about!
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
Just spent the night watching all 7 episodes. Congratulations on a first-rate piece of film making. I have waited a long long time to see a documentary which analyses my favourite film in such depth.
Congratulations on creating a truly fantastic documentary series! I discovered these a couple of days ago and have had an amazing couple of days watching the whole series. I’m especially impressed how you’ve managed to avoid putting your own interpretations into this series, but still offering hints and different angles to read this very complex, thought provoking and beautiful movie. I can’t imagine how much time and effort you must have put into making this. So thank you very much, I’m heading to your Patreon page to offer what I can to support you! Sincerely, thank you!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! There was a point when it seemed like I'd never get there. I'm so happy to see it completed!
Wow! Just watched the series in one go and I have to say, it was fantastic. The analysis was thorough and insightful, and the narrator did a great job of breaking down the various themes and symbols present in the film. I especially appreciated the discussion of the film's prop usage and great cinematographic experiments ahead of it’s time. Overall, it was a great watch for any fan of the film or anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of this classic work of science fiction.
This series is fantastic we really appreciate it!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I just came across your series here almost two years after your posting of the last episode. I found it wildly interesting, if a touch too quickly read to fully appreciate and absorb so many fascinating details. Recalling the film is bittersweet for me, now 68 years old. I was a 17 year old high school student in 1968 who had the notable, yet humbling, experience of working as an usher at the Glendale theatre, Canada's first Cinerama theatre, in Toronto during 2001's entire two and a half year premiere run there from 1968 to 1970. A beautiful 700 seat theatre with a floor to ceiling 180º curved screen with two 70mm ?carbon arc? projectors. It was a reserved seat engagement and almost every night was sold out. I must have seen it well over 400 times myself. And I can honestly say in reflection, that the experience was personally influential and awe inspiring. It gave me, and many others I suspect, a remarkable sense of optimism about the not too distant future and cause to reflect on why the Vietnam War, for example, was so wrong and counterproductive to what our true place in the universe might be. It's unfortunate that the legacy of this remarkable and outstanding film has been overshadowed by so much discord and inequality in so many ways. Kudos on a job well done.
Wow, two years!
I could say I'm in part lucky to just discovered these videos just a couple weeks ago or the patience for new videos would have been so much. And at the same it would have been an interesting more personal journey to see you going through one video to the next. Congratulations in finishing this and never stopping. They were great both in content and in the way of presenting it.
Thank you! This series really took a lot of patience for viewers! I believe there was a stretch of more than 6 months between two episodes because I was working on other videos. Feels good to see it completed!
There's simply nothing like this video series on TH-cam. Done with respect and attention to detail, just like the film itself. Congratulations! And thank you
Thanks so much!
This is the best documentation I have ever seen
Thank you!
I watched 2001 during its first theatrical release as a teenager. I was awed by it. It is still my favorite movie of all time. Your series on it is one of many documentaries I have seen on it over the decades, and I would put your work on a level with the best. All are different, and all approach 2001 differently, but yours is equal of any other delving into the who, how, and why of it being produced.
You should really consider doing a video, or a series of videos, on Kubrick's unrealized masterpiece, "Napoleon". Or alternatively, Jorodowsky's "Dune". Both were set to be "one of the greatest films ever made" and I'd like to see you investigate that claim!
Definitely want to do something on Napoleon at some point. I've been collecting resources on Napoleon and saw some great stuff at the Kubrick Exhibit when it was in San Francisco. Such a shame the film never got made.
How about doing a series on ALIEN?
CinemaTyler theres a huge book you can buy online from Taschen, thought about snagging it for myself at some point. It has the script and tons of material and a code for an online catalogue of thousands of research pictures. And yea kubrick is the master of "what could have been"s.
Also interesting to me is the many iterations that went through Eyes Wide Shut including a low budget black and white woody allen comedy, and one with Steve Martin.
Bravo CinemaTyler Bravo. This was the most in depth movie documentary I've ever seen! This was a very great source of educational entertainment for the past 4 hours. Thank you very much for making these videos!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I was lucky enough to see 2001 recently in the theatre with a friend who hasn’t seen it before. I’d seen it years ago but this time around it felt like watching it for the first time. Needless to say we were both floored at the level of stunning visuals that still hold up considering the time they were created. All I wanted time to do was find out everything I could about how Stanley and his team pulled off these magical cinematic moments. Your videos did just that. Thank you thank you thank you for your time and dedication to making this🙏
I love this series so glad to finally see it finished
Thanks! I'm happy to see it complete too!
Fantastic job! I saw 2001 for the first time back in the mid-70s, it was showing at a local big screen theater called the Ute 70 (now a climbing gym). Only 13 years old, I was blown away by its special effects and mysteriousness, like no other movie up to that time or since...on so many levels the greatest film ever made I think. Your coverage and analysis does it justice, great work, thank you!
Nice work, Tyler! This 2001 series has been fantastic. Really high quality work! Thanks a lot - I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you!
I've waited for this for so long! Wow, what a way to end my day... Thank you!
Now *this* is a Video Essay.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for these seven episodes which I watched back to back today and ruined a perfectly good Sunday’s mountain bike exercising (thanks!!). 2001 was shown on BBC2 in UK again last night, so I imagine a lot of viewers will have found these episodes today. Again, thanks so much.
You did one hell of a job on this series! Incredible insight to my favorite movie of all time, 2001.
Thank you!
Honestly. Hat tip to you good sir. I can barely imagine how much time and effort this series took to make. Thank you for doing this. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
You should make all the videos into a long movie and sell it to Netflix.
I do want to stitch all of the parts together at some point. I kind of think that this series could only live on something like TH-cam because I was able to use a bunch of different sources under Fair Use that a large company like Netflix wouldn't be willing to risk having a copyright problem.
HombreDeCalifornia I agree - this video has more value, and shows more passion, than most docs that make it to T.V.
@@CinemaTyler If you are afraid of a copyright strike, you might consider offering the re-edited full documentary as a separate (or private) link, or something to order from you directly like what Rob Ager does.
A slight critique: you might consider changing the font for your channel name, as the "comic sans"ish font doesn't quite live up to the quality of your videos.
Netflix is overrated I still like TH-cam better
SCREW Netflix. This docu-series is way too good for them to have >_>
Bravo man. I was looking to understand the making behind the masterpiece that is 2001 and you have crushed it. This whole series was so well done and you ought to be very proud of yourself. The depth you've went through to flush out this story has not only been noticed but very much appreciated. Kudos
Many many thanks for this series about 2001: A Space Odyssey
for two years i follow patiently the wonderful look how Kubrick made this Masterpiece
and i will look out for more on Kubrick on this channel
or other great movie how there are made, perhaps on Ridley Scott move or on Jean-Luc Godard Alphaville, even maybe James Cameron ?
Thanks so much for your patience! I love Scott, Godard, and Cameron. Definitely want to do videos on their movies at some point!
I can think of no further praise to add to that which has already been said. You did a remarkable job on a very complex movie and its director. Kubrick was a genius of remarkable stature. He made some of the most amazing films in the history of the industry. I am happy to have watched this series and hope you keep up the amazing work. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Goddamn it I was halfway through the book when I watched this series and you just straight up spoiled a major difference. Oh well still a really cool series.
Thank you for creating the most detailed documentary on 2001: I’ve ever seen.
YES, YOU THE MAN TYLER! Thank you so much for a great series.
Thanks!
I'm so glad we had Stanley here. It's clear he really cared about what he did, it wasn't just some job to him. He wanted to change the way we saw humanity and the universe. I am really, really upset I never got to meet him; he died 3 years before I was born, but at the most he left these films for all of us to enjoy.
Fantastic videos. Thanks so much. One correction, though, and I believe it's important. The "alien sounds" Dave hears in the hotel room are actually a composition by György Ligeti called _Aventures_. It's not listed in the credits.
Thanks! Yeah, it blew my mind when people started mentioning that. If I ever make a follow-up or correction video that will definitely be in there!
Just what I needed
I saw the original presentation in 1968 at age 16 and, at the end, said to my younger brother and cousin "W H A T ??? WHAT HAPPENED??? I DON'T GET IT!" Later I read the book and began to appreciate the story. I did a report on it for a college English class. I read a "making of" book about the movie and began to appreciate it too. Much more like this over the intervening years. Your "How Kubrick Made ..." is fantastic, the best ever. Thank you very much!
Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks for watching!
Wow. I’m speechless about the level of research and passion about this film. Your love for SK can surely tell. I remember watching this in my first year of film school and how it raised my standard about making a picture. And now thanks to you I can see why.
Greeting from Argentina
THANK YOU SO MUUUUUUCH
Thanks for watching!
