Alfonso Cuarón, cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, and visual effects supervisor Tim Webber decided they couldn't make the film they wanted using traditional methods. For the space-walk scenes, says Webber, "We decided to shoot (the actors') faces and create everything else digitally." To do that, Lubezki decided he needed to light the actors' faces to match the all-digital environment. Whether the characters were floating gently, changing direction or tumbling in vacuum, the facial light would need to perfectly match Earth, Sol and the other stars in the background. "That can break easily," explains Lubezki, "if the light is not moving at the speed that it has to move, if the position of the light is not right, if the contrast or density on the faces is wrong." Lubezki suggested folding an L.E.D. screen into a box, putting the actor inside, and using the light from the screen to light the actor. That way, rather than moving either Sandra Bullock or George Clooney in the middle of static lights, the projected image could move while they stayed still. The "light box", key to the space-walk scenes was a nine-foot cube just big enough for one actor.

Kowalski detaches from Stone so that she can survive. He presumably breaks Solovyev's space walk record. Stone uses the soft landing jets on the Soyuz capsule, which has no other fuel, to get to the Chinese space station as it's reentering earth's atmosphere, gets into their functioning re-entry vehicle, and makes it back to Earth alive. She lands in a large lake, swims out, kicking off the space suit, and staggers ashore.

Pooper:
Astronaut Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) returns to Earth in a capsule she salvages from the Chinese Space Station.Long Version:
After the Space Shuttle Orbiter Explorer is destroyed while servicing the Hubble Space Telescope by a storm of space debris initiated by a Russian anti-satellite test, astronauts Ryan Stone and Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) attempt to reach the abandoned International Space Station (ISS).Kowalskis maneuvering unit runs out of fuel and he lets go of Stone after she gets tangled in the parachute lines of the Soyuz capsule that is attached to the ISS.
Stone enters the ISS, but is forced to leave one orbit later as she is untangling the parachute lines from the ISS when it passes back through the debris storm. Stone attempts to commit suicide by lowering the partial pressure of oxygen in the Soyuz, but she has an hallucination of Kowalski entering the capsule and reminding her that the Soyuz entry modules landing jets can propel her towards the Chinese space station.
Stone uses this technique to reach the Chinese Space Station, where she enters the remaining escape module that is similar to the Soyuz. As the station enters the atmosphere, Stone manages to detach and she splashes down safely in a lake. She swims free of her spacesuit and crawls up to the beach where she stands up on the shore.
