As with the shots of <i>Discovery</i> in <i>2001: A Space Odyssey</i>, it took hours to photograph just a few seconds of screen time. The shots of the <i>Cygnus</i> lit only by distant starlight looked magnificent on the big screen. The movie <i>The Hunt for Red October</i> had similarly low-lit shots of submarines in the ocean depths, which looked great in the cinema, but looked almost like silhouettes on video. Maybe a Blu-ray release of <i>The Black Hole</i> is somewhere in the future?Metryqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243936063167180159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-64103377331657135522011-09-22T23:30:43.441-04:002011-09-22T23:30:43.441-04:00I've seen several places online where movie pr...I've seen several places online where movie props and models are discussed which mention that the second Cygnus model was being stored at one of the Disney theme parks until it was ruined in a forklift accident. The remains of it were thrown away since it was so heavily damaged. Some googling of Cygnus model and forklift should produce the sources.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-72114620655255004642011-09-22T20:30:58.777-04:002011-09-22T20:30:58.777-04:00Awesome pick I like how they shot in from of the ...Awesome pick I like how they shot in from of the painted backdrop instead of bluescreen.
