In addition to cels, Simpsons artwork can also be found in the following formats: Production Drawings - Simpsons production drawings and sketches were used as guidelines for cel set-ups, character models, or concept art during the production process. It is common for production drawings to be framed along with their matching finished cel set-up. Master Backgrounds - Simpsons master backgrounds are original all hand painted backgrounds that were used during filming. It is rare to see a true master background framed within a cel set-up. Cel set-ups usually come with an authentic reproduction background while masters are sold separately. Storyboards - Simpsons storyboards are a series of sketches, similar to a comic strip, which outline the action and dialogue in a scene. These key drawings are the earliest stage of an episode's animation and are used as a visual reference throughout production. Giclees - (pronounced j'clay) Simpsons giclees are the latest in reproduction animation art. Giclee is a french word which means 'spray of ink'. These pieces of artwork showcase an amazingly high resolution with more than four million droplets of ink per second sprayed on canvas. Images appear lush and velvety with the luminosity feel of a strikingly rich watercolour. |
