Stanley Kubrick: 2001: A Space Odyssey

Sasco card for '2001: A Space Odyssey'

One of the many Sasco cards (filing cards assembled into a chart) from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Arthur C Clarke called Kubrick 'the Sasco Kid' in reference to his fondness for Sasco cards. The cards were used by the special effects department to plan filming and include details such as the direction models should be moved in. Together with the special effects reports and mat shot folders they reveal how the special effects were achieved. The colleciton includes; scripts; artworks; special effect records; and letters for example, from Arthur C Clarke.
