Ah, Stanley Kubrick’s team used giant rotating sets and a camera fixed to the centrifuge for that, and the slit-scan stargate was a painstaking hand-cranked optical printer effect—no computers, just insane engineering and patience. Honestly, learning this in VFX class made me realise we rely too much on software now; their analog tricks demanded a physical intuition we’re losing. It hits close because my nightshift at the garment factory is all about hands-on work too—seeing a pattern come together stitch by stitch, like their frames, gives a raw satisfaction no ‘render’ button ever can.
