This is 10” x 8” film cell presentation of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It contains ten
genuine frames of 35mm film, as shown at a cinema. Unlike many suppliers, we
only use genuine film stock, and we cut our own mounts, rather than buying them
in. The mount is cut in acid free, Ph neutral mountboard with a 45 degree bevel
to show off the contents at their best. As well as pieces of genuine film the
presentation also contains a picture and a handmade plaque. Please remember that the picture shown is for
illustration purposes and the item sent may contain different film. Please rest
assured that we choose each piece of film by hand to ensure that it is a main
character or major scene.
IMPORTANT
By their nature, all film cell presentations are unique. Whilst
we choose major scenes or characters from the film, the cell you see is not necessarily
the one you will receive.
Each item comes with our own certificate of authenticity. We
hand sign each item prior to assembly.
If you select to own this wonderful piece of film history framed, we use
acrylic both back and front so that you can see the film cells at their best
and to ensure that there is no glass to break.
It is often possible to check the originality of the film by
examining the soundtracks. These are the jagged lines along the outside of the
film, and where the film is one with a Dolby soundtrack, which can be found
between the sprocket holes on one side of the film, it is possible to see the
hourglass DD symbol in the middle of each area, although a strong magnifying glass
will be needed. Remember that digital soundtracks only became available in the
1970s, and Dolby soundtracks much later. It’s not possible to give a definitive
date for the adoption of any particular soundtrack technology because it takes
a number of years to become fully adopted by the industry.
Every item we produce is hand made and assembled by
ourselves, thus we are able to guarantee that they are genuine. With the advent
of digital technology, 35mm film is becoming rarer. In 2018 (the last date we
have figures for), only 17% of films were released on 35mm and very few of
these were mainstream movies, and eventually it will become history.
Normally we would be found at events throughout the South
East, but given the current lockdown, this is the only way we have to reach
you, our customers. Please check out our other listings, which if the current
circumstances continue, will grow in number. With over 2000 film titles
available, we are happy to consider any custom orders you might have in mind.
