Take the afternoon off. You're going to be spending some time here.

Matte Shot - a tribute to Golden Era special fx

2001 is one of those rare pictures where almost every shot is suitable for framing, and I've (not?) even gotten onto the VFX (visual effects) shots yet. The interiors of space stations and shuttle craft are simply exquisite in both set design and cinematography. The shots aren't flashy like most of today's over indulgent hyperactive camerawork. The shots are beautifully framed and often held on screen for a long period of time without a cut, or unnecessary camera movement.
