Original Cel The Flintsones Animation Drawing Relaxing
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. * * * Man, this is the life... A life without worry and responsibility, how can anything go possibly wrong?? * * * * * Original Animation Cel, Drawing, and Reproduction Background * * Original "rough" animation drawing, in black pencil with the notations in black * * Overall size is a 12-field drawing that is 10 1/2" × 12 1/2" * Overall Size of Cel: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2"Overall Size of Background: 11" x 13 1/2" * * Very Good condition; been stored * * * * * 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 reproduction background. * * * * * The cel and drawing received by the winning bidder may be ever so slightly different from that in the auction photo. * * * * The printed background, drawing, and cel are ready to be matted and framed. The notations are located at the bottom of the drawing and cel. * * *
