"Yer Out!" Bugs Bunny Master's Collection Limited Edition Cel Signed by Virgil Ross (Warner Brothers, 1994). Here is an original limited edition pan cel of a sequence featuring Bugs Bunny sliding home, in a scene from the theatrical short Baseball Bugs, directed by Friz Freleng and animated by the late Virgil Ross in 1946. It quickly became one of the most-beloved Bugs Bunny shorts. The pan cel is approximately 26" x 12", and Bugs measures from 6" to 7" in almost every pose. The sequenced images are based on original vintage animation drawings by Ross himself, using four hand-painted images to showcase Bugs' famous slide into home base. Ross' artwork became part of the Warner Brothers Studio "Masters Collection". The cel is framed to 33" x 19" with a matboard aperture of 24" x 10". Frame sold as-is. Condition of the artwork is Very Good. If in a high street gallery this would command a price tag of
at least £2,000. Premier

Animation Art
Definitions |
||
Animation
Cel - A cel (short for celluloid) is a blank clear plastic
sheet used by the studio artist to paint an animated character or object
based on the animator's original pencil drawing. The cels are then placed
over a background and photographed in sequence to produce an illusion
of life in the completed film or cartoon short. Every cel is different
but this does not mean that every cel is unique. Often multiple copies
of a cel were created by the Inkers as colour models in order to advance
their technique and skills. 16
Field Cel - This refers to the size of the area on the artwork
which falls within the sight of the camera. Measuring approximately
12.5" x 16.5" this is the standard size for cels, backgrounds
and drawings. Sericel (Serigraph) - A non production cel created by means of a printing process similar to silk screening. No work is done by hand, therefore no painting or inking is involved. They are often produced in limited quantities of 300 - 5000, and they are marketed as a low cost alternative to production and limited edition cels. Animation Drawing - A drawing on paper in pencil, sometimes coloured which is created by a studio artist of an animated character or object for which the cels are later created. Production
Background - A background created for use in a production of
an animated film. It must be noted that a production background may
not necessarily originate from the same production that the cel is from. |

Frequently Asked
Questions |
||
What
is Animation Art? - Animation Art is more than just the cels
and backgrounds seen by a camera in the finished version of an animated
film, cartoon, short or commercial. It also includes inspirational sketches
and paintings, story ideas, character models, and drawings used in the
making of the animated film, as well as post production models and publicity
work, and all other works prepared after its completion. What makes Animation Art valuable? - Age and rarity are two important factors. What character(s) are in the Artwork, and what expressions they are showing. Figures in a full pose position are normally more sought after than a head shot or half body pose. Memorable scenes from classic films or cartoons create a high value. Villains and Princesses are also valuable. Signatures of artists connected with a specific production can often increase the value. Walt Disney's signature on the mount/mat will also increase the value, as he never signed the artwork itself. Should I invest in Animation Art? - Collectors have purchased Animation Art for as little as one pound and sold it for hundred's or thousands of pounds. You can view past auctions at Christie's to see the value of vintage Disney and Warner pieces. The value of Animation Art is increasing more rapidly than any other Art form on the collectable market. Select and purchase Animation Art because it gives you pleasure. Enjoy it to the full, and you will receive the greatest return on your investment, the joy of owning a moment in film making history that will never be repeated again. What
is Premier Animation? - Premier Animation is an online gallery
offering some of the finest vintage and contemporary Animation Art on
the net. We are currently a mail order only and do not have a brick
and mortar gallery. |
