2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) - Douglas Trumbull Collection: Set of Production Contact Sheets and Additional Photographs - A set of contact sheets and additional photographs from the production of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. These vintage photos were taken during production by the official production photographer and by special photographic effects artist Douglas Trumbull for his family during pre-production.

This lot from the collection of Trumbull consists of 11 black-and-white contact sheets taken by the production photographer featuring never-before-seen content from the production, with each sheet hand-annotated in red ink and graphite; 14 additional color- and black-and-white-printed photographs; two black transparencies of the moon and one of test planets; nine negatives with a card marked "Transparency of Stargate Corridor Sequence -'2001'-" in an envelope marked "'2001' 4x5 internegatives for D.T's Pictorial biography" and "270-13"; and a set of 41 35mm Kodalux slides with two blank negatives strips in a Kodalux box marked "2001 8x10's." This lot exhibits discoloration and bends to the photos. Dimensions: (largest) 10" x 12" (25.5 cm x 30.5 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.
