Paul McO'Smith III@WestSeattleBill @2001 always annoyed me that the angle of the bone and the satellite were not the same when the jump cut occurred.
quite ruined the film for me.
Jesse Spielman@heavyimage @WestSeattleBill @2001 and we've been led to believe that Kubrick was a perfectionist...
@pavsmith @WestSeattleBill @2001 haha. Love stricter perfectionists ragging on suggested lesser perfectionism.
Clueless by Sam@heavyimage @WestSeattleBill @2001 @pavsmith
The moon landings were filmed by Kubrick, but such was his dedication to perfection he insisted they be filmed on the moon
@heavyimage @pikesley @WestSeattleBill @2001 it annoyed the hell out of the guys that spent a fortune on this!
Stefan Ihringer@pavsmith @WestSeattleBill @2001 I feel the same way.

I remember when we learned about that transition in film class and when I saw it for the first time I was very disappointed. Every film that ripped that off made a better match cut. #Kubrick https://frames.social/@2001/statuses/01KGNEHZZEJYD39SHYB2FNW7PE
Corentin Lamy@pavsmith @WestSeattleBill @2001 I’ve never really understood why the spacecraft didn’t have the same angle as the bone. Surely it wouldn’t have been difficult for Kubrick to make it match, so why that choice?
@CorentinLamy @pavsmith @2001 I saw a YouTube post on this that an exact match would be too gimmicky. I agree. If Kubrick wanted an exact match, he could have made it happen. With CGI these days it would be easy, so we expect that. But at the time, I think that Kubrick didn't wanr it. It was a conscious choice?
@WestSeattleBill @CorentinLamy @2001 as a bit of a perfectionist otherwise... it must have been deliberate.
i suspect it'll get people talking.
John Shaft@WestSeattleBill @CorentinLamy @2001 @pavsmith The cut works perfectly in motion. (Well may be not if you watch it a 100 times in a short period of time :) )
Reminds me of Jackie Chan explaining that a cut in a fight sequence is more effective by getting a few frames back on the second shot. Gives your brain the time to apprehend the edit. My guess is that the same logic applies here.
The real problem for me is the edit between the 2 bones shots (problem with the sky, the position of the bone...)
@shaft @WestSeattleBill @2001 @pavsmith Hmm, I’m not sure I agree. I haven’t seen 2001 a hundred times, maybe two or three, and it always bothered me.
