These items were part of the early design process and use the initial slightly more cartoony design for the Babel Fish before I "straightened" it all up for the actual finished sequence to give a more digital feel. This item offered for auction is a pencil drawing on animation key paper (31x25 cm) and is one of an animation of 11 turning the Babel Fish from side view to front view. There should be a number 12 but I haven't found that yet. If I do come across it at a later date I will offer that too. I am offering these as separate items rather than a single package with the intention of giving as wide an opportunity as possible to an interested group rather than confining ownership of all to one individual. This will come with an accompanying authenticating letter embossed with the Pearce Studios Ltd seal. I will sign the drawing - and the letter of course ! In case anyone feels the value of original items might be diminished I give notice that I reserve the right at some future date to offer digital prints of any original items auctioned. This is on the principle that digital prints of the Mona Lisa do not diminish the value of the original painting. Not of course that I am comparing any of this stuff to the genius of Leonardo ! - just an example.

This item is an early "key" pencil drawing on 305x252 mm animation paper made by Rod Lord in the early stages of planning and layout for the part of the sequence where the Babel Fish turns head on in the centre of screen while a human head appears on the left and an Alien head on the right.

This item is an early "key" pencil drawing on 305x252 mm animation paper made by Rod Lord in the early stages of planning and layout for the part of the sequence where the Babel Fish turns head on in the centre of screen while a human head appears on the left and an Alien head on the right. The drawing on the left fixed with masking tape is an early stage of the change from the earlier more rounded style to the more "digital" feel of the final animation.

These two animation cells were traced by Rod Lord and intended for the part of the sequence where the Babel Fish turns head on in the centre of screen while a human head appears on the left and an Alien head on the right. When these cells were traced the intention was to paint them on the back in the conventional animation technique and use them as artwork layers under the rostrum camera using normal top lighting. They never got painted because the whole approach to technical production changed. These animation cells will come with an accompanying authenticating letter embossed with the Pearce Studios Ltd seal along with a full description of the way they fitted into the production process.

Items from the early stages of the Babel Fish sequence, the first half of which constituted the initial pilot test piece for the BBC. 10 pencil drawings, numbers 2 to 11, by Rod Lord on tracing paper and originally registered in place with Sellotape onto punched 305x252 mm animation paper. The Sellotape has inevitably dried out over 30 years and become unstuck in many instances. I have not made any attempt to repair anything, so some tracing paper drawings are loose from their registration paper and some are missing it. These were the start of the process that became the section of the Babel Fish animation sequence where the human ear zooms up to close up. From these outlines tracings were made with Rotring pens onto animation cells which were then reversed out by a contact exposure onto photolith film for back lighting under the rostrum camera.

These were camera artwork used to back light under the rostrum camera. This is the animation that starts with a close up of Zaphod's heads after he has turned from a single side view to front view. This animation zooms Zaphod away while drawing in the extra lines needed for the rest of his body. 3 - A photolith strip with the text "Zaphod Beeblebrox" used for back lighting under the rostrum camera. 4 - The camera "dope sheet" for this section of animation.

Storyboard - Episode 6 - Ford Prefect's theory and the Belcerebons It may seem strange to jump to episode 6 but I just came across a fairly complete entire sequence. It seemed logical to start with the storyboard which consists of 15 frames on 2 pages. Storyboards were certainly not presentation items as they often were for other projects. These were very skimpy and the first hasty stab at roughing out how the screen time might be filled to fit the supplied voice over. Working out the actual details of the layout was gradually evolved and refined during the next step of layout and key drawings, and further still with pen tracings onto cell. This storyboard deals with the sequence that begins with Ford Prefect's theory relating to a strange human behavioural pattern and goes through the Belcerebons of Kakrafoon Kappa. I notice that on the storyboard they are noted as BALCEREBONS while in the final artwork the text reads BELCEREBONS. This item will come with an accompanying authenticating letter embossed with the Pearce Studios Ltd seal along with a full description of the way it fitted into the production process. I will sign both pages - and the letter of course !

You will see from the images that there is an angled fold mark on the top left across the Vogon's nose and forehead and also a granular black discoloration damage mark just above the old masking tape at bottom left. The way the graphic Vogons looked was developed by Rod Lord from pre-production photos of the prosthetics being prepared for live shooting.

Seller Notes: “As usual the old Sellotape has given up so the punched 35mm registration strip has long gone and there is also an angled fold on the right hand side which I hope the photos show adequately.” Currency - The general layout and camera setup key for the currency sequence. This was a guide in pencil and pen on animation key paper for the animation of the infinity symbol, the positioning of text, and an indication of the positioning of the row of Zeros and the Zero blowing a raspberry. As usual the old Sellotape has given up so the punched 35mm registration strip has long gone and there is also an angled fold on the right hand side which I hope the photos show adequately. Under the "n" photolith is a cut-out shape and I don't remember why that is. Overall size : 30.5 x 25.5 cm General background info - Based on the storyboard camera setup layout keys were done and production drawings were made on tracing paper or animation key paper. These were taped in position for the camera setup and traced with Rotring pen in black ink onto clear cel. This was then reversed by contacting onto photolith film in the darkroom and "spotted" with black plastic paint for camera artwork to be back-lit with colour lighting filter gels under the animation rostrum camera. All these various pieces of artwork were originally taped to strips of 35mm film punched with peg registration holes. The aeons of time since they were created means that in most cases the sellotape or masking tape used to fix items in place for registration has long since dried up, become brittle, and separated. This will come with an accompanying authenticating letter embossed with the Pearce Studios Ltd seal which I will sign and date. It has been pointed out to me that signing the artwork itself can cause problems for the display of items. So I now instead include a self-adhesive label with a portion of the Pearce Studios Ltd embossed seal with a dated signature. The new owner can decide to use this or not - or they can include a message with their PAYPAL payment to request a signature on the artwork itself and its position.

Seller Notes: “The cels and paint are in reasonable condition but as always the old Sellotape is giving up and the 35mm registration strips are falling off. The last cel has black magic marker "squiggles" on it. See explanation below” ATOM BOMB - from Babel Fish sequence 13 items - A camera setup key on animation paper and 12 clear animation cels with the nuclear explosion painted by Rod Lord with animation paints. This was one of the very few animation ingredients made for a top lit exposure. This was mainly because it was more economic to paint than to cut out various colour filter gels or to shoot multiple exposures with back-lighting. That option would have required a lot more artwork in the form of mask separations. The cels and paint are in reasonable condition but as always the old Sellotape is giving up and the 35mm registration strips are falling off. One or two have gone. Cel number 11 has black magic marker "squiggles" on it. This was because it was the last frame of the animation and was held static at the end of the sequence for some time. Specks of dust and marks would have been quite noticeable and it was quicker to touch them out with marker than to keep cleaning the cel with a brush. This was common with top-lit cels on black background.

Seller notes: “This piece has the usual problem with old brittle Sellotape but this piece seems to be holding together reasonably well although the film registration strip has gone.” BABEL FISH - 03 A photo lith with clear lines and shapes in black taped in position onto animation cel. This was masked around with loose black card and used back-lit under the rostrum camera as one of the many exposure runs that went to make up the finished Babel Fish sequence. A single exposure run often consisted of just one colour but in this case to cut down on the number of times the film had to pass through the camera gate and try to reduce the risk of a "hair in the gate" several colours have been combined by cutting the colour filters into shapes to fit. A "hair in the gate" was actually a slither of film emulsion that became trapped in the camera gate and obstructed light from the lens onto the film surface. They were the bane of our lives as it meant that after days of camera work the scene had to be reshot.

Seller Notes: “As usual old Sellotape has long since gone brittle and the piece has separated from its animation cel. Some of the old Sellotape is still hanging on around the edges. I hope the photos show the condition of the piece adequately.” FORD PREFECT - text 01 Photolith with clear text in black. This piece was originally Sellotaped in position onto a clear animation cel. But as usual the Sellotape has long since gone brittle and the piece has separated from its cel. Some of the old Sellotape is still hanging on around the edges. I hope the photos show the condition of the piece adequately. At the beginning of the production I had hoped that we could stay flexible and speed through the vast quantities of text that would be needed by getting it typed on an IBM Golfball machine on good paper, then enlarging it in the darkroom to suit whatever the camera artwork requirements were. But the resulting quality was awful. Another option was to use our photo-typesetting service in central London but the cost of motorbike couriers and the lack of flexibility to adapt mitigated against that route. In the end most of the text in the animation was hand letrasetted onto clear animation cel and then contact exposed in the darkroom to produce clear text on black.

This was used to back light with a colour lighting gel as camera artwork for one exposure run. This was part of an animation of the Babel Fish turning to face forward consisting of 11 positions of 2 frames each. Once this number 11 was achieved the Human and Alien head scanned in on either side. This piece includes the animation positions of the tail turning towards the alien head as part of the same artwork. These would have had masks painted in black animation paint on clear cels to reveal each position in turn for 2 frames. Pencil key drawings were done on animation key paper, traced in Rotring pen onto clear animation cel, and then contact exposed in the dark room to achieve the clear lines in black that were used as final artwork under the camera.

I hope the photo shows the condition adequately.” AW_149-00A - Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy Original Artwork from BBC TV series animated graphics BABEL FISH - Photolith 00A Photolith with clear lines in black fixed to clear animation cel. This particular piece formed the basis of the sequence where the Babel Fish is facing forward in the centre and coloured directional flows and matrices are cycling, representing the flow of data from the Alien speech to the human brain. The Alien head shows several mouth positions together which were masked under camera to show only one at a time, which saved having to reproduce the head outline accurately for every frame to avoid a "wobble". This is also the start position for the human head with brain, eyes and inner ear to zoom up to an enlarged close up into which the Babel Fish can turn. This animation consisted of 11 positions of 2 frames each. Once position number 11 was achieved the Babel Fish turned from front view to side view into the inner ear canal. The first time this is used the cyclical matrix animations are introduced. The action is re-used at the end of the sequence to trigger the nuclear blast. Pencil key drawings were enlarged manually step-by-step using the Agfa Repromaster, traced in Rotring pen onto clear animation cel, and then contact exposed in the dark room to achieve the clear lines in black that were used as final artwork under the camera.

Seller notes: “I hope the photo shows the condition adequately.” H2G2_ AW_159-BABEL_Text - Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy Original Artwork from BBC TV series animated graphics BABEL FISH Text - Handwritten Type setting spec  At the outset of the H2G2 Babel Fish test piece it was clear that a lot of text was going to be required. I started off thinking that we might be able to manage most of it by using an IBM Golfball typewriter onto high quality paper and enlarge it to whatever size was needed. After one or two initial tests it became clear that we would not be able to get sufficient quality using this method. Shortly before this we had been producing record sleeves using large quantities of photo-typesetting for paste-up assemblies for the back of vinyl album covers. So in these early days of H2G2 I got chunks of text photo typeset. This sheet was one of my handwritten specs to the setters at a facility in London for some of the text used in the Babel Fish sequence. It was not till a year or two after this that we were using fax machines for this kind of thing so this spec would have been motorcycle couriered late at night to the 24 hour facility in London and I guess I probably phoned once it arrived to talk it through at which time the note must have been scribbled on by whoever I was talking to. Most of the handwriting is mine but there is a scribbled note in pencil done by the type setter with our studio phone number, my extension, my name, and "after 10". I'm sure the latter refers to the fact that I used to start my day at the studio at 10 am. I usually set off homeward sometime around 3 to 4 am. It didn't take long to become obvious that this method was time consuming, inflexible, and costly so we soon changed to manually Letrasetting most of the text we needed. It may be that pieces like this are not of interest to anyone. There is other material of this type so I am using this as an indication of how to deal with this stuff. If there is no real interest I will simply dispose of it. Paper size : 30.5 x 25.5 cm This will come with an accompanying invoice and authenticating description sheet, both embossed with the Pearce Studios Ltd seal, which I will sign and date. It has been pointed out to me that signing the artwork itself can cause problems for the display of items.

Seller notes: “I hope the photo shows the condition adequately.” H2G2_ AW_160-BABEL_Text - Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy Original Artwork from BBC TV series animated graphics BABEL FISH Text - Handwritten Type setting spec At the outset of the H2G2 Babel Fish test piece it was clear that a lot of text was going to be required. I started off thinking that we might be able to manage most of it by using an IBM Golfball typewriter onto high quality paper and enlarge it to whatever size was needed. After one or two initial tests it became clear that we would not be able to get sufficient quality using this method. Shortly before this we had been producing record sleeves using large quantities of photo-typesetting for paste-up assemblies for the back of vinyl album covers. So in these early days of H2G2 I got chunks of text photo typeset. It didn't take long to become obvious that this method was time consuming, inflexible, and costly so we soon changed to manually Letrasetting most of the text we needed. I'm afraid I can't now remember which method we used to generate this particular batch for the first of the running-in text at the bottom of screen. Black on clear was contact exposed in the darkroom to create a clear in black version. A long vertical strip was assembled using sellotape and any imperfections or holes in the black ground "spotted" with black animation paint. The rostrum camera table was rotated so that the 4 parallel pan bars were running north-south, 2 either side of the back-lighting glass panel set into the table. The clear in black panel was taped to one of the pan bars and masked around with black card. A strip of black card with a lighting gel taped to it was used to reveal each line letter-by-letter, exposing a frame or two at a time. A gap between the black card and the gel allowed the back lights to shine through as white for a leading edge to the reveal. As each line reveal was completed the pan bar handle was turned in microscopic amounts to slide up taking the clear in black text with it and making room for the next line to be revealed. Once all the text had been done in this way the camera shutter was closed and the film wound back to the start of the scene for the next exposure run.

It didn't take long to become obvious that this method was time consuming, inflexible, and costly so we soon changed to manually Letrasetting most of the text we needed. I'm pretty sure this piece used photo-typeset text but I'm a little puzzled as to why it was assembled using already reversed-out photolith strips in this way. Normally the assembly would use black on clear strips sellotaped in position and the whole piece contact exposed in the darkroom to achieve clear in black. This particular piece was used during the section of Human and Alien heads with the Fish in the middle and used already clear in black text cut into pieces and assembled in position with sellotape, the reverse of the cel painted black using animation paint. Perhaps the sellotape on the front of the artwork was catching some light under the camera prompting the use of more black animation paint on the front.

I also needed to run them past Doug Burd, who was our liason in BBC graphics, and producer-director Alan Bell, to try and avoid misunderstandings on all sides as well as to pick their brains for other ideas and opinions I may not have thought of. Mostly we were so short of time that it all just wooshed through on a hasty nod which was lucky because very often artwork was already in progress and major changes might have been very problematic.
