According to biographer Vincent Lobrutto, one of Stanley Kubrick's visual-and aural-inspirations was the 1960 National Film Board of Canada animated short documentary Universe (1960). The 29 minute film, which had also proved popular at NASA for its realistic portrayal of outer space, achieved "the standard of dynamic visionary realism that he was looking for." Wally Gentleman, one of the special effects artists on Universe, worked briefly on 2001. The short film's most notable influence may have been Kubrick's decision to cast the narrator of the documentary Douglas Rain, relatively unknown outside Canada, as the voice of HAL.
