Le cel, ou cell, ou cellulo, ou celluloïd est une feuille plastique transparente d' acétate de cellulose sur laquelle on peint à la main les différents éléments animés que l'on superpose sur un décor pour avoir une image d'un dessin animé. On en produit donc autant qu'il y a d'images dans le film soit 24 le plus souvent par seconde d'animation. Cependant ils peuvent être réutilisés si le personnage apparait sous le même profil par exemple ou être utilisés plusieurs à la fois pour avoir différents éléments animés simultanément. Il faut toutefois remarquer que la plupart des cellulos représentent en fait des animations de transition donc les personnages en train d'effectuer un mouvement et ne sont donc pas très intéressant esthétiquement car ils ont des éléments incomplets ou dans des postures déséquilibrées. Je vous présente donc dans la galerie une sélection de cellulos qui mettent le plus en valeur les personnages ou les actions.
You're bidding on an EXTREMELY RARE art package that was produced entirely for internal use within a major media corporation, and was never meant to be seen by the general public. Each year for many years, the FOX KIDS Network commissioned an art piece as a special perk for network executives and network affiliate owners (FOX KIDS was a programming block of childrens entertainment on the FOX network from 1990-2002). This art piece would be produced at great expense, with high production values, in extremely limited quantities (we're talking dozens, not hundreds); which would be sent as special gifts to a handful of network executives.
This is one of those pieces, from 1995. It consists of a series of 15 illustrations, each featuring a character or program running on the FOX KIDS Network that year. Each character is rendered into a style or scenario parodying a famous piece of classical or contemporary art. Each piece is litho printed onto heavyweight high-quality textured archival paper, resembling the surface of an art canvas. (To see comparisons of the parodies and the originals, go here.) The heavy art frame was sculpted with bas-relief images of these same characters, cast, and then lovingly composited, hand-finished and antiqued to create the look of ancient gilded wood, with a faux nameplate reading "Musee du Renard des Enfants" (an inside joke, as this would translate roughly to "Museum of the Fox Kids").
The concept is that each of the 15 canvases would be rotated occasionally in the frame, resulting in a seemingly endless variety of new art, based on the FOX KIDS stable of characters. The frame measures 18 inches wide by 21 inches tall by 1.75 inches thick. Each of the 15 art prints measures 13 inches by 16.25, with the image area measuring approximately 10.25 inches by 12.75 inches. The frame and artwork together weighs just under 4.4 pounds (1975 kilograms).
This is a strikingly handsome piece, in mint condition. It has been lovingly cared for in a smoke-free home. You will never see another like it offered at public auction.
Characters or shows sculpted on the bas-relief frame include(clockwise from top left corner): Spider-Man, Carmen Sandiego, Bobby Generic, Masked Rider, FOX Cubhouse, Batman and Robin, Casper The Friendly Ghost, Tasmanian Devil, The Tick and Arthur, FOX Cubhouse, Eek! The Cat, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Life With Louie, Goosebumps, X-Men, and FOX Cubhouse.
The 15 art prints include: Masked Remington features the Saban Entertainment character Masked Rider, a live-action spinoff from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise, rendered in the style of American West painter and sculptor Frederic Remington.
Doomed Bison-Tazcaux Cave, France features the Warner Brothers/Looney Tunes character Taz (short for Tasmanian Devil), rendered in the style of the prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux, France.
The Rain of Louie features the animated character Louie (based on the childhood of standup comic Louie Anderson) from the series Life With Louie, rendered as a parody of the Rene Magritte painting Golconda.
