This is new to me and a revelation.
Shown on the Aeon website, this was originally on the National Film Board of Canada's website.
To quote Aeon:
Universe also altered the course of cinema’s evolution: the film’s masterful cinematography and groundbreaking animation inspired Stanley Kubrick when he was researching his own space-traversing masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Kubrick even borrowed the voice of Universe’s narrator, Douglas Rain, for the iconic role of HAL 9000.
What do you think readers?
Very much the Universe of my childhood. One still with a great deal of mystery and magesty in it.
ReplyDeleteFabulous.

DeleteAnd all done with in-camera, back projection, animation and multiple exposure techniques, with maybe some optical printer work.
ReplyDeleteNo CGI or AI !
Yes, old school and I can see how it inspired a young Stanley Kubrick Mish!
DeleteAs '2001' inspired me.
