[MOPO] A Death

2005-03-24 Thread Danny Steward
John Box, 85; Four-Time Oscar Winner Created Lavish SettingsBy Myrna Oliver
Times Staff Writer

March 23, 2005

John Box, four-time Academy Award-winning art director and production
designer who re-created wintry Russia in midsummer Spain for "Doctor Zhivago
 and built lavish dreamscapes for other period productions, has died. He was
85.

Box died March 7 in Leatherhead, Surrey, England, of natural causes
associated with aging.

The Briton collected an impressive four Oscars for epic films released from
1962 through 1971: "Lawrence of Arabia," "Doctor Zhivago," "Oliver!" and
Nicholas and Alexandra." He was also nominated for Academy Awards for his
work on the 1972 film "Travels With My Aunt" and the 1984 "Passage to India.


Box earned Britain's equivalent of the Oscar, the British Film Academy Award
 (for best art direction for re-creating 16th century England for the 1966
A Man for All Seasons," imagining early 20th century America for "The Great
Gatsby" in 1974 and conjuring the game as well as the arena for the
futuristic 1975 "Rollerball." He also received the British Film Academy
Award for special contribution to filmmaking in 1991 and a Film Critics'
Circle Award for lifetime achievement in 1999.

Among his more recent films were "Black Beauty" in 1994 and "First Knight"
in 1995, starring Sean Connery as King Arthur and Richard Gere as Lancelot,
for which he built a Camelot from scratch in a Welsh reservoir.

"If I do my job well, nobody should notice there's been a production
designer on the film," Box told the Los Angeles Times in 1995 when "First
Knight" was released. "We have a saying: 'No picture postcards, please.'
Never be self-conscious. Never show off. Don't show people how clever you
are."

The London-born Box grew up in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, where his
father worked as an engineer. He later studied architecture at the
University of London and served in the British Army during World War II,
commanding a tank regiment in France.

After the war, he completed his architectural degree and went to work as a
draftsman for London Films at Denham Studios. Box, who liked to describe
himself as "of the David Lean school," opted for film over architecture for
two reasons: In cash-strapped post-war England, few buildings were getting
built, and he became inspired by seeing Lean's 1946 black-and-white "Great
Expectations."

By the mid-1950s, Box had moved up to art director, credited on the 1953
The Million Pound Note," starring Gregory Peck, and the 1956 film "Zarak,"
starring Victor Mature.

Box hit his stride toward the end of the decade with "The Inn of the Sixth
Happiness" for director Mark Robson, for which he re-created a walled
Chinese city in Wales; "Our Man in Havana" for Carol Reed, putting the
glamour back into a Cuba nearing Fidel Castro's revolution; and "The World
of Suzie Wong," adapting teeming Hong Kong streets for the camera of
director Richard Quine.

The art director first got the chance to work for Lean on the famed director
s "Lawrence of Arabia" in 1962 and teamed up with him again three years
later on "Doctor Zhivago." They also worked together on "A Passage to India"
in 1984.

Box first earned the nickname "the magician" when he produced a snowy Russia
in the scorching location in Spain that Lean chose for "Zhivago."

But the production designer had already proved his creativity to Lean on
Lawrence" in the middle of a barren desert.

To enhance the scene of Omar Sharif emerging from a mirage toward Peter O
Toole as Lawrence, Box had the sand painted black. Then he remembered a
lesson from architectural school about the importance of lines. "I suddenly
had an idea," he told The Times in 1995. "I painted a white line toward the
mirage…. The cameraman went over and kicked at it, dismissing it as art
department b.s."

But the line worked. "After shooting, O'Toole came up to me and hugged me,"
Box said. "He said it was extraordinary. He focused on it, and that one
small detail made his concentration on the mirage that much more intense."

He said Lean came up to him and said, "I don't know how long you're going to
live, but you'll never do a better job of designing in your life."

Once divorced and once widowed, Box is survived by two daughters, Susan and
Deborah.

Colours fade alright, I've been on the recieving end of a faded poster,
not pretty.

But if these red posters have faded, hasn't everything else on the
poster faded as well? My faded poster (only worth $10 or so), is nothing
like it's non faded friend. A shadow of its former self, if you like.

I have restored 6 VERTIGO one sheets and three have been slightly
different
in the orange screen color.  One was very red-orange.  I have found
the
flat
orange color to be inconsistent on the rest of the the paper as well
including lobby cards.  The one sheets seem to be printed on the
cheapest
paper and I would suppose the printing process was a major pain.
Remember
the cheapest materials were used and the Saul Bass design was not
easy to
reproduce.  The flat coverage of that off orange color must have
driven
the
printers mad.  I would guess the orange color had to be mixed and was
not

I think Todd's right on this. As a collector of
political campaign buttons, I have experience with red
fading very easily. I'm very careful about exposing
red & orange to any light.

Also, I sold a Vertigo poster a couple of years ago to
a dealer. I was very proud of the fact that it was
deep red/orange. It was in great shape. I got $2300
for it. I think I'd ask $4k for it these days.

Re: [MOPO] Vertigo Posters

2005-03-24 Thread Phil Edwards Cinema Arts
We've had several VERTIGO lobby cards over the years including one complete
set that was known to be a full set and one not made up over the years from
various sets. No fading, but there was a definite inconsistency of the
orange/red.

Now while Jean-Claude Van Damme may have little to do with VERTIGO, years
ago I was doing the marketing for KICKBOXER in Australia. I decided to use
the key art differently to the US version and worked up a slightly different
lay-out with the graphic artist who did all my work for this particular
distributor.

When it came to printing the posters, both artist and myself were present at
the print run start-up so we could check and approve the proofs on the spot
and get the job underway due to a pressing deadline. We decided after a test
run (about 50 posters spat out) that we were not happy with the red in the
title treatment and wanted to deepen it more, which we did by adding a very
small percentage of black. The printers explained  and showed us examples of
how even minor changes to colours where it was not a standard ink batch
could vary throughout a print run. Similarly, a large print run that require
ink top ups regularly could vary if there was a slight change to the mix.
Similarly, as ink started to thin and required top up, then those at the end
of a run could be lighter on some colours.

The art of poster printing is not a science with exactitude that applies to
colour batching. Movie posters were and are a relatively cheap form of paper
advertising. They did not (and probably still don't, though technology has
made control easier) have the same sort of exacting standards applied to
them as fine art prints.

Re: [MOPO] Amelie help, please

2005-03-24 Thread Sue




Hi all,
this is ed..
Sue drug me over to her computer to answer this :-) 

First, thank you JR for your kind comments... This gives me an
opportunity to explain a few points that collectors that use our LAMP
DataBase are over looking.

When you look for a title in our database... it is best to use a key
word or 2 and not the entire title. We try to use the official title,
so sometimes it doesn't completely match popular title, especially when
there is a hyphen, etc. 

Next, when we started with the database, we told everyone to look for
the little golden poster to see if there are images online... NOW.
we tell everyone... click on the title whether it has the 'little
golden poster' or NOT and here's why.

Most collectors that look up a title DO NOT  look at the Release
History.and Amelie is a PRIME example.
If the poster has an aka OR a different country of release.. it
will be marked in the Release History. The original
release has our '1st' mark on it. Be sure to look if there's a 'little
golden poster' beside any of the akas
If the case of Amelie.. there are 2 aka's listed and
BOTH have images. 

Here's the link to the original
release

For Amelie... we have the Italian, the Japanese, 3
French and the UK. ... we do NOT have the US version yet... as we load,
we will continue to add more images.  

and Finally. We have just added a new generic section our
Dealers have just started loading this section, so it will take a
little time before you start seeing a massive amount of items
listed This section is to let collectors know about items that our
dealers have that we DON'T have images online yet. The mark to look for
is our 'green dollar mark'. If you see this in the section below the
thumbnails... look to see what it is... The first category is theater
issued and beside the 'green dollar mark' will say the item that
the dealer has. like 'original one sheet' etc..Then you can contact
the dealer directly to find out more information. 

The new generic section WILL NOT give a 'little golden poster' in the
primary search... so you have to open the record to find out. 

For size comparisons or any other reference information, each record
has lots of cross-links that are cross-referenced to the LAMP reference
sections.  For example, if they don't  know the size of a French
poster, click on the abbreviation below the title, i.e. FR-OS, and it
will link to the LAMP-International
website to the French article which breaks down the sizes and then
presents a lot more information about French posters and industry. 

If anyone has other questions.. OR would like me to show them more
email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll be glad to.

good indication that there might not be.
   
  Sometimes when I'm looking for a second opinion I actually go to
  www.moviegoods.com -- which
I'm sure horrifies some people... Yes, they sell almost exclusively
prints and reproductions, but they do list one heck of a lot of titles
and often have examples of Style B, C, half-sheets and overseas
variations that can be hard to find a picture of anywhere else. On
Amelie, however, they only show the Italian, which kind of tends to
confirm the info on LAMP that there is no US paper.

I
love this film and the whimsical image (green background, smiling face)
associated with it. I know nothing about the posters, though. 
What,
if any, one sheet paper was issued in the US? Is it the same image we
associate with the film?
What
size is the French equivalent of a one sheet and was that poster used
in the US?
Thanks

  How to UNSUBSCRIBE fro

[MOPO] Vertigo Posters

2005-03-24 Thread Danny Steward
I have restored 6 VERTIGO one sheets and three have been slightly different
in the orange screen color.  One was very red-orange.  I have found the flat
orange color to be inconsistent on the rest of the the paper as well
including lobby cards.  The one sheets seem to be printed on the cheapest
paper and I would suppose the printing process was a major pain.  Remember
the cheapest materials were used and the Saul Bass design was not easy to
reproduce.  The flat coverage of that off orange color must have driven the
printers mad.  I would guess the orange color had to be mixed and was not an
ordinary color gallon bucket.  I sometimes feel like an archeologist wishing
I could have been there in 1958 watching how these posters were printed.

Here is something you don't see too often.   I will provide a link at the end
of this email.   It is a poster with a great image of popcorn, candy and
candy bars and a kid with a big smile!   Has a GAU logo and everything.   Check 
it
out!  Great 60's colors!  This would look great in a home theater room.

[MOPO] Bruce's auction - discounts

2005-03-24 Thread Henry Mazel
The one sheet of Iron Duke (1934) starring George Arliss went for $192 in Bruce's auction. I have a mint half sheet of the same title, a much more pleasing poster. It is stone cold mint, never folded and a sight to behold.

PLUS - I even have a better title of Arliss -CARDINAL RICHELEAU also 1934. Also mint, never folded, and a wonder to behold. Crisp, clean, as though it was just off the press (both half sheets).

$425.00 for the pair. JPGs are available, Some wiggle room if you have something I might be interested in. You really might one to look at the JPGs on these. The HS are sensational.

I suggest it's just a matter of ink running low in one color on the press &
there is no difference between teh posters as they all were printed at one time

[MOPO] Amelie help, please

2005-03-24 Thread Doug Taylor








I love this film
and the whimsical image (green background, smiling face) associated with it. I
know nothing about the posters, though. 

What, if any, one sheet paper was issued in the US? Is it the
same image we associate with the film?

What size is the French equivalent of a one sheet and
was that poster used in the US?

Thanks for the help. Obviously, I'm trying to figure
out what I want to buy.

DBT
