Making of The Shining



Thanks to an accidental double-ship from newegg.com, I ended up with 4GB of RAM, so both PC's are now maxed out. Since we're now actually able to view x264 HD files on the big screen, we rewatched The Shining. God, it's beautiful. Regardless of what one thinks about Kubrick's adaptation or interpretation of the novel, the camera work and cinematography are mindblowing.

A quick look at the wiki on the film steered us toward the featurette, "Making of the Shining". Check it:

"Stanley Kubrick allowed his then-17-year-old daughter, Vivian, to make a documentary about the production of The Shining. Created originally for the BBC television show Arena, this documentary offers rare insight into the shooting process of a Kubrick film. The documentary... is included on both DVD and the Blu-Ray disc releases of The Shining."

I wish I'd had a 16mm sync sound Arriflex documentary camera when I was 17. The short itself is fascinating, and we suggest you watch it as well.

Download it. Or watch on my blog:
