Close Encounters of the Third Kind Mother Ship Model
The model makers put together a complex model to convey an overall effect of a city of light. They used various train and other model kit parts and, knowing that smaller details probably wouldn’t be visible in the final cut of the film, they added some inside jokes. One example is R2-D2 which, as it turns out, is actually visible in the film
Before designing the sets for The Shining, Stanley Kubrick sent out a small team of people to photograph hotels and lodges throughout the United States. The hotel that most influenced Kubrick and Production Designer Roy Walker in their design of the interiors of The Overlook Hotel was the Awahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, in California.
Many Overlook Hotel design elements were lifted directly from the Awahnee, including the double red doors, the hotel lobby, the Colorado Lounge, and the pervasive Native American motifs. These photographs of the Awahnee illustrate just how strongly it influenced much of the Overlook’s interior design.
Stanley Kubrick reviews a take with Jack Nicholson on the Gold Room set of The Shining. Watching from behind are Kubrick assistant Leon Vitale, actor Joe Turkel, Camera Operator Kelvin Pike and Director of Photography John Alcott.
A human friend sent me this link to Roddy McDowell’s home movies of ape masks and cigarettes.
I’m sure Dana Gould has seen this.
There is more ZAIUS footage from our night at Cobb’s in January (actually just more footage of me ranting).
I shall post it soon. And I shall RETURN to Cobb’s with Kasper Hauser on 4/29.
That is all.
Blast! Tumblr's API is down again!
