BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE RIDE (1991-2007) - Douglas Trumbull Collection: Set of Hand-Drawn Ralph McQuarrie Storyboards - A set of storyboards hand-drawn by Ralph McQuarrie for Back to the Future: The Ride at Universal Orlando theme park. Based on the Back to the Future film series, the ride serves as a mini-sequel to Back to the Future Part III. Legendary science-fiction concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, who most famously created concept art for the original Star Wars trilogy, worked on storyboards and concept art for the ride.

This lot comes from the collection of special photographic effects artist Douglas Trumbull. It consists of 21 pages of hand-drawn early storyboards hand-drawn by Ralph McQuarrie detailing the DeLorean car going through the ride scenes with handwritten notes along the side, 17 of which are dated for June 15th 1989. Also included are two pages of printed storyboard with illegible printed notes, and a set of printed storyboard frames adhered to white paper with handwritten and drawn annotations. This lot exhibits minor discoloration and smudges. Dimensions: (largest) 8.5" x 14" (21.75 cm x 35.75 cm)

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.Visual effects pioneer Douglas Trumbull was born in Los Angeles in 1942. After abandoning architecture for technical drawing and cartooning, his talent for photorealism soon earned him work at Graphic Films, an esteemed Hollywood studio for which he designed groundbreaking cosmic effects for the 1964 New York World's Fair. After seeing Trumbull's work, director Stanley Kubrick hired him to create animations and VFX shots - including the iconic Star Gate sequence - for what would become his seminal masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. From that film's success, Trumbull became one of the industry's most trusted photographic effects experts, designing and producing legendary screen moments in such sci-fi landmarks as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Blade Runner, all three of which earned him Academy Award& reg; nominations. In addition to directing the cult classics Silent Running and Brainstorm, Trumbull later received a Scientific and Engineering Award for his high-speed photography process Showscan in 1993, one of two specialty awards given to him by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences before his death in 2022. 60 years since he first made his mark on global cinema, Propstore today celebrates Douglas Trumbull by presenting a selection of rare memorabilia from his personal collection to the public.
