I don't remember the color being that saturated in the film, but it's kind of a neat/science-fictiony effect.
Saw Gravity (Warning: auto play) this evening. What a fine film! There is one sequence where Dr. Stone makes radio contact with someone. They have a short conversation but do not communicate well. This short film, done by the director's son, shows the other side of that conversation. I don't know what the windlasses at the beginning are but I imagine they are fishing lines of some sort.
There is some quibbling about how accurate some of the science is, in particular whether they could get from one orbiting space machine to another using what they had on hand. My reply is that the odds of them being hit in the first place are astronomically low, and coincidences seem to run in batches, so yeah, the odds of being in a favorable position are good. Besides, just because the International Space Station and Hubble Space Telescope are on different orbits now, doesn't mean they would always have to be on different orbits. And anyway, where is the shuttle they were using? There are no more shuttles! So who knows what would have happened if they had kept flying the Space Shuttle, maybe they would have changed the orbits of these two structures and so flying from one to another using a fire extinguisher is entirely plausible.
