SILENT RUNNING (1972) - Douglas Trumbull Collection: Screen-Matched Valley Forge Manual - A screen-matched Valley Forge manual from Douglas Trumbull's Silent Running. Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) consulted a Valley Forge Manual to summon repair drones and reprogram them to be able to operate on his leg injury he acquired in a scuffle with John Keenan (Cliff Potts). This manual screen-matches to the various red marks and discolorations on the close up of the cover.

This lot comes from the collection of the director and special photographic effects artist Douglas Trumbull. It consists of a white plastic comb-bound manual with beige vinyl covers and labeled "Valley Forge Operations Manual" on the spine. This manual features various pages of diagrams, graphs, and instructions maintenance drones programming, flight plans, and guidelines. This lot exhibits a torn front cover, loose pages, tape residue, as well as discoloration. Dimensions: 9.5" x 11" x 1" (24.25 cm x 28 cm x 2.75 cm)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.
