Cel Original Background The Flintstones Animation
The show is set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock. (In some of the earlier episodes, it was also referred to as "Rockville"). The Flintstones was about a working-class Stone Age man's life with his family and his next-door neighbor and best friend. The show's continuing popularity rested heavily on its juxtaposition of modern everyday concerns in the Stone Age setting. In this fantasy version of the past, dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, and other long-extinct animals co-exist with cavemen. Like their mid-20th century peers, these cavemen listen to records, live in split-level homes, and eat out at restaurants, yet their technology is made entirely from pre-industrial materials and largely powered through the use of various animals. For example, the cars are made out of stone, wood, and animal skins, and powered by the passengers' feet. Now here is special photo album that has taken me years to finish and I want to show you what I've done with it... Original Production Background and Animated Cel Overall Size of Background: 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" Overall Size of the Cels: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" Excellent condition This is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the production of an episode of "The Flintstones." Each one-of-a-kind set-up represents a slight change in position of the characters. When individually photographed and projected in rapid succession, the images appear to move. To create production cels, the original animator's drawing is transferred onto an acetate cel (by hand-inking and/or photo copying). The cel is then hand-painted on the reverse side. The background accompanying this set-up is a hand-painted original production background. The drawing is ready to be matted and framed. The animator's notations are shown at the top of the background and the bottom of the cel.
