Re: Animation Idea Submission Thread

A couple of weeks ago I read "2001: A Space Odyssey" for the first time, and decided I had to own the movie.

My order came in a few days ago, and I'm amazed at how well the movie's crafts fare in comparison to modern spacecraft. The 1968 movie's vehicle design is more plausible than most of the sci-fi stuff pumped out these days.

The EVA pods are my favorite:



Lots of 2001 spaceship references

I'll probably start one on my own, so if someone else picks this up and I do the same, don't be offended. Maybe someone could do the EVA suits, and we could have an animation of HAL disposing of Frank Poole or something more elaborate... if anyone else even has an interest in space exploration/2001
