The model was filmed for the Discovery Channel TV show The Great
Books - 2001: A Space Odyssey. The show looks at the
collaboration
of science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke and film producer/director
Stanley
Kubrick to create the novel and film.
Filmed in 2002 and first shown on the Discovery Science Channel in 2004, it features narration by William Shatner and my misspelled name in the "Special Thanks" section of the closing credits. (Don't blink!) The program can be seen in its entirety on YouTube, here. The model appears about 18 minutes into the show. |
