"Gremlins" 1 and 2 - clapperboard reproductions

MAKE BELIEVE · Jun 4, 2023

Thanks mate.
I aged all the letters a bit but did not want to go too crazy on it (maybe not too noticeable on the pic).
But yes, I might distress it a bit more.
Thank you.

Wanted to point out it should say "Edeson," and not "Edson."

Damn! How did I miss that. Will correct that part and weather it more. Thanks a lot for pointing it out

Love these, but it bothers me that the all the Casablanca words are hand lettered on the original. But I understand why you would go the font route.

For some time that I've been wanting to reproduce a silent movie clapper.
Found some shots of Chaplin's "The Cure" (1917) and "The Kid" (1921) slates, so decided to give it a shot (the pics are not the best as ref, but here it goes anyway)

No "clapping" going on here, just marking shots for the editor. Pretty cool!

Thanks mate. Yes this one is all wood. I wanted it to look as real and worn as possible.

Raiders of the Lost Ark clapperboard reproduction large size (35,5 X 32 cm // 14 X 12 in)

Of all the clappers I've made so far, this is the one I'm most satisfied with. Very happy with the way it turned out.
