How Kubrick made 2001: A Space Odyssey - Part 2: The Floyd Section

Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the making of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. In Part 2, we dive into the production of the Floyd section of the film. Every bit of information in this video was available for free on the Internet and from the Bluray of the film. I explored what was available on the Internet and found tons of great information from a wide variety of sources concerning the special effects, music, costumes, set, and several of the actors.
