611 shots, huh? That’s like the first 2 minutes of the last Transformers movie.

2001 definitely makes for a very interesting version of this layout. For one it's great to see the color palette change throughout the film based on where the story is. Also really interesting to see how many of those shots are just of HAL. He's often thought of as the prime example of the Kuleshov effect, where you derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than just from one. HAL really is just a light and a great emotionless vocal performance. But somehow you can almost tell when the light is jealous, angry, vengeful, and afraid because of the editing. But you look at it here and yeah it's just a light, the meaning comes from the construction of the story.

Pretty cool stuff!

611 shots seems really low for such a long movie
