2001:a space odyssey CG Station-5 5 minutes

[@scubawrestler]

I can never get enough of the gracefulness of Space Station V. It's too bad we let earthly woes get in the way of going there.

[@Papa-fv1rn]

I especially like the way you begin it, with a slow reveal from behind the shadow of the rim. It emphasises the massiveness of the vehicle.

[@luthermcgee3767]

I wasn't going to give it a thumbs up, But I couldn't resist "The blue Danube." I have cherished this piece for nearly 50 years.

[@Music--ng8cd]

Put some skiffle music to it and I'll give it a thumbs up

[@Papa-fv1rn]

Excellent. That station almost feels like an old friend whenever I see it in videos like this.

[@SkidMunro]

Absolutely fantastic! The original 2001 LP cover artwork shows humans working on the unfinished part of the station. Including them might've made this even better! But I quibble. Thank you for this!

[@lylewood2029]

You can't work on a rotating structure like that, you'll be thrown off. If the "floor" of the station were to suddenly disappear, all the people, furniture, and other...stuff... inside would be hurled out into space. The only thing keeping people in the station from flying away is the floor against which they are pressed by the illusion of gravity afforded by the centrifugal/centripetal forces generated by the rotation. Even a tethered astronaut working on a spinning station would find him/herself unable to work plus their tools and materials would also fly off into space. The station would have to be stopped for construction and restarted when everything was fastened down and the people safely inside.

CGI has got fine colours and good details... but it's to cartoon like. Kubrick's model is a little more realistic.

[@CarlosOsuna1970]

It’s not that CGI can’t do photorealistic things, it just takes more time to achieve. In due time we could have a hyper realistic model.

[@Dylank001]

@@CarlosOsuna1970 it’s actually quite easy if you use proper textures and lighting

[@simongee8928]

Agree. Also a fault with most space films now is gradual shadows. As there's no atmosphere to scatter light, shadows are either dark or non existent, I.e., no 'gradual shading'. The original film got this right. Check it out. But to me, with the music, this is still the most evocative scene of the whole film. 😁

I was so impressed seeing this in the theater when it was first released. I really like the way they showed the station still under construction.

[@georgehenderson7783]

I know it was just a movie but still when this was released in 1968 a lot of us believed that in 33 years ( 2001 ) we would have a space station like this or close to it. Here it is more than 54 years later and we have nothing like this. We could have though if we didn't engage in constant wars and nations cooperated with each other in building this.

[@craigmyers4269]

Kubrick would go absolutely bananas with this. Magnificent!!!

dude, this is fu&%in AMAZING!!! Now we just need the live action shots...any ideas for who could play Heywood Floyd?

[@stevesculptor1]

This is a great rendition, was it done Blender? Original Move. Beginning of shot: space station in orbit, earth drifting, shot from six inch colored transparency on an animation stand, SS-5 rotating .0025 of an inch per frame (6mm) stars shot separately to match, then matte it to clear all elements in shots. Space Station model was six feet in diameter. - Taken from J Agel’s book.

[@sclogse1]

Many fabulous moments in this. I think the unfinished framework should look a bit skinnier, and it would give the rest of the station more mass.

[@tognoncostruzioni2792]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

[@bf99ls]

Would be interested to find out what modelling software and rendering programme was used for this. It’s a lot of work to construct each part, but relatively simple to render animation frames after that. Just takes a lot of time.

Beautiful work, thanks. I would love to see an attempt at the docking sequence of the Boeing as it enters the space station. And possibly a recreation of the Ares moon shuttle flight and landing.

[@speeta]

I'm sure you've studied the original footage for reference, and I'm sure that you discovered the station's direction of rotation reverses halfway through the sequence of shots it appears in.

[@mediamauro]

Have you manipulated the sound file or is it the orchestra? It sounds odd.

[@Admiral8Q]

Had to change it for "copyright" or get blocked by KZbin.

[@PAULLONDEN]

*That* .....was highly impressive... This was still a space station under construction (the open metal frames ). Wonder though where the engineers hid the solar collectors . One slight hitch must be for the workers in the center of this construction ,where gravity is zero .

[@原平次基]

このステーション作るためには、日本の国家予算全投入でも厳しと思うが、むちゃくちゃ好きです。

[@andrewh7713]

The ISS cost about 100 billion dollars. Apparently the next moon missions planned will cost about the same. Maybe for a similar cost or less, we could have Kubrick's station.

[@sclogse1]

I already left a comment but need to mention this: You never show the back of the station. The Aries 1b had to come out of it somewhere. So, it had to be the rear. Isn't it time to show it with the Aries in it?

[@KiyoshiHiHiHi]

[@paull3341]

The "Clarke-Kubrick" space station is a "typical" goverment project. More than five decades gone by and the blasted thing is still under construction. A space version of Boston's Big Dig. I wonder what the cost over-rins were.

[@f22photos]

The official in-universe name of the space station is "Space Station V," so there are 4 others floating around up there, no doubt complete. 😊

[@darynbrown3640]

Is the baby conducting the orchestra? It would explain alot...

[@jimsteele9261]

I think this is great. I've dabbled with photographing physical models and CG. One thing that CG eliminates is depth of field issues. Unless your model is very large and you pour enough light on it to melt your model, DOF will give away that it's a model.

[@cinewillp6391]

Jim, I had the joy of shooting models for some low budget movies in the past . Had an ABS submarine model go limp and catch fire under 10K of wattage , scary. but you do need it for that depth of Field -Obviously thats why Star wars used held exposure/long shutter with their robotic arm.

[@jimsteele9261]

@@cinewillp6391: I was just doing some hobby stuff, but I did melt the Galactica model I was using. I needed so much light on the ships, that the engine lights were washed out, so naturally, I used bigger ones. Too big. :-) This was before LEDs. It would have been great to have ILM's motion control and do it all in separate passes.

Lucas l'a fait en partie avec THX. Il faudrait l'accord de Christiane Kubrick. Cela pourrait être supervisé par un ami de Kubrick dans lequel on pourrait tous avoir confiance, par exemple Spielberg.

The CGI is very good, very sharp, high resolution and grain free BUT somehow it just doesn't look real. The original space station in 2001 DID look real. There's been speculation whether Kubrick would have used CGI, had it been available. The general view is that he wouldn't, because models just look more like the 'real thing', provided there's enough time and effort spent on the exercise.

[@KeithWright-ub2ce]

[@marktalley2550]

Unfortunately they didn’t do a very good job of showing Space Station 5 in the high orbit it was in the original film, where it was several thousand miles in altitude. They used low orbit views from the international space station. Even now, we have not sent people that far from Earth since 1972, And the ISS views used here underscore the lack of Crewed space flight ability we still are limited by.

At 3:50 change of "point of view": we see the stars rotating and the space station ... stationary. This reminds me that we still do not know how inertia really works: how is this "rotating" Universe generating artificial gravity in the space station? What kind of influence is it really? Strangely enough the nearby Earth plays no role at all, only remote bodies do.

[@bf99ls]

The ‘rotating galaxy’ isn’t providing any gravity for the space station. Tbh, the stars shouldn’t be visible when the sun is in view or lighting up anything: like at midday on Earth. The ‘gravity’ is caused by the first ion of the craft: centrifugal or centripetal force as it’s often termed. There would be zero gravity at the hub, increasing as one heads towards the outer ring. If the rotation wet to radios is designed for, one works experience 1 g inside the perimeter. Think I’ve explained that without getting tied up with the vocabulary.
