Original Clapperboard Used By the Film Crew of the Motion Picture - Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes - Based on the Novel Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
1984
by BURROUGHS, EDGAR RICE
1984. An original clapperboard used in the creation of the well-received take on Tarzan by the accomplished screenwriter Robert Towne. A clapperboard is a pair of hinged boards clapped together at the beginning of a film shot in order to aid sound synchronization and at the same time record the shot number and the number of individual takes of a scene. The board lists the production name, the director’s name Hugh Hudson, the cameraman’s name John Alcott, the slate number, the take number and the date of shooting. 10 inches wide by 8 inches tall. Very good condition. This piece belonged to Nigel Seal, one of the film’s camera operators. In the finished film, Christopher Lambert plays Tarzan, Andie MacDowell as Jane; with Sir Ralph Richardson, Ian Holm, James Fox, Cheryl Campbell, and Ian Charleson. (Inventory #: 14543J)
