    Thanks for your article.

    May I post a couple of typos for your next edit?

    Kubrick is spelled with a “c”. 2001: A Space Odyssey premiered in April, 1968. Jerome Agel’s book “The Making of Kubrick’s 2001″, Allison Castle’s “The Stanley Kubrick Archives” the April, 2001 issue of Cinefex … and a great many others, perhaps much better than these, describe in some detail how the effects were achieved.
