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.
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.
