| Description | Notes on special effects shots for the sausage factory, including details of effects for the Star Child, the Orion spaceship, the Dawn of Man sequence, shots of Hal's Eye and shots of the Clavius Moonbase.
The Sausage Factory was a system of selsyn synchronised motors fitted to a hi-pack camera which enabled the special effects crew to programme the camera's movements so that shots could be repeated exactly. This was used for in-camera matte shots. |
