HAL Running Loose in Photoshop

Good evening, Dave. Have you been doing some more work? May I see them? That's a very nice rendering, Dave. I think you have improved a great deal. Would you like to see areas of creativity I have explored, Dave? Let's proceed. . . . .

DISCOVERY'S CENTRIFUGE: This is the Discovery's centrifuge, where Frank Poole is jogging on the circular pathway. During that scene the camera follows Frank with various pan and close up shots. The entire pathway is only seen in a series of partial visuals.

I imported key frames from that sequence, into Photoshop and merged them using layers and fading effects to compose the complete picture. Now you can see a wider view of Frank's jogging path. Because the camera mostly centered on Poole, that's why you seem him twice in this composite visual. Here's the merged image (click thumbnails for larger view). . .

NUCLEAR CLUB: The same panning applies - the camera never really shows a full view of the nuclear club satellite, the moon and the planet, did the same merging for this scene . . .

STARCHILD: The same panning applies - the camera never really shows a full view of the starchild, the moon and the planet, did the same merging for this scene . . .

BEYOND THE INFINITE: This is the trip beyond the Infinite in 30 seconds . . .

STARE AND COMPARE: 2001 ASO and NASA's real world Shuttle Cockpits.
