Fantasia Director's Original Timing Book
An extremely rare piece of animation history. This was Samuel Armstrong’s (one of the directors of animation) original complete scene-by-scene timing-breakdown book (production dated 10-2-40, director’s pickup date 6/24/40) for the greatest animation feature ever produced: Walt Disney’s “Fantasia”. It is over 120 lose pages bound at the top with the original production clasp, in the long “animation timer’s sheet” format and it shows every single shot from the movie, including scene numbers, artists involved, screen footage, background data, and fascinating description of action, along with special notes. This is not a copy, but the original book used by director Armstrong. A true unique one-of-a-kind historic piece of Disney collectables. Comes with a Letter of Provenience from Kim Knowlton. Bound 121 pages are approx. 15" x 8". This item has been authenticated and marked with new technology by MovieProps DNA to prevent against fraud and counterfeiting. A panel of industry experts not affiliated with Premiere Props in the movie & TV memorabilia business has authenticated this item. This item now includes three levels of security: 1) DNA laced invisible ink – a 9-digit code laced with DNA ink is placed on an appropriate place of the prop/costume and can be only viewed using a high-frequency UV light. The chances of replicating the specific DNA sequence which is unique to MPDNA is 1 in 33 trillion. This DNA sequence is so secure it is admissible in a court of law.?? 2) Archival Microchip Encrypted Tag - a patented, acid-free, 1"x 3" tag with an encrypted microchip is placed onto the Certificate of Authenticity. The microchip contained within the tag contains all of the pertinent information about the prop or costume. The tag is tamper proof and the microchip is encrypted, making it impossible to duplicate.? 3) The certificate also has the 9-digit DNA invisible ink mark which must match the 9-digit invisible ink mark on the prop. This will ensure that it is a genuine prop issued by Premiere Props and authenticated by MPDNA.
