The Moon Landings: Reanimating Kubrick in Operation Avalanche
The Creators Project go behind the scenes of Operation Avalanche, a faux-documentary narrative following CIA agents tasked with faking the 1967 moon landing.
As part of the research and creating a believable fake, the agents visit the set of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, blurring all boundaries between film and reality. By framing their film as a period documentary, these filmmakers created a unique challenge for themselves: How to have their characters interacting with the real Kubrick in archival footage.
Here, we see how director Matt Johnson and his team were able re-create this ultra meta world from archival stills with amazing ingenuity and creativity, virtual space, 3D projections, and green screens.
