This promotional short for
2010 (1984) shows moviegoers how some of the film's visual effects were created. This includes makeup for
Keir Dullea's character, how the astronauts float in space, and the construction of the spaceship in which the astronauts carry out their mission. The vehicle is so large, the two largest sound stages on the MGM lot were used to construct it.
