Xena Special Effects Crew T Shirt-Valkyrie Trilogy

This is a very rare item as only about 2 dozen were made. The special effects team on Xena had them made up for each other to remember the trials and tribulations they experienced while working with the Grindl Monster from the Valkyrie trilogy. This shirt was received from a special effects crew member. It is in like new condition. The front says "I survived Grindl" and the back has memorable quotes uttered by the FX guys as they were working with it.

Empty film canister from Xena Episode 15

Another lovely original production item! This metal canister was used to transport exposed negatives for development from the set to the lab in New Zealand. This one is empty, of course, but an added bonus is that it comes with the original box that the canister was transported in. The box is heavy, and is similar to those 8mm "home movie" boxes that your dad stored the family "video" in way back in the 70s. Label is stamped with PAC-REN Pictures LTD under "client" and "Xena warrior princess EP#" on the "title" line; everything else is handwritten in. This is evidently the B roll and has a note saying "Save Tail," so none of the film was discarded.

Xena Animated Movie Original Production Cel

Film cels are used to create the different sequences and frames for animated features. This is an original production cel, with a hand-painted background, including the sword. The cel is laid over the top and features Xena. Note the original studio seal on the cel. This is a fairly large item, approximately 11X14 for just the colored areas...and would look nice in a frame.

Xena Original Production Drawing signed by Lucy

I love this piece! This is an original, pencil sketch of Xena from the Animated Movie. It is drawn on yellow paper; almost the consistency of tissue paper but thicker. The sketch has several numerals at the bottom and two oval-shaped holes as if it were in a binder of some sort. This came directly from the studio in 2000 after being signed by Lucy. She wrote "All Love, Lucy Lawless, Xena 2000" on this. Her signature is in black sharpie and bleeds through to the back slightly. Size is 11 by 13 and will look great matted and framed.

Xena Continuity Photos

Two more continuity photos; one of my favorite parts of my collection. These are original polaroids of Lucy; one from "Gurkhan" and one from "God Fearing Child." Continuity pics continue to be one of the rarest production items out there; due to both the originality of the pictures (they are one of a kind, literally!) and the fact that they were generally tossed after the scene was complete. In addition, they were only taken in specific instances where filming would resume at a later time or date and the character's makeup or wound placement needed to match..for "continuity" in filming.

Xena Costume Form

All of the production material you see here is ORIGINAL production material directly from the set; acquired from a crew member. These are not copies; these are the actual call sheets, production schedules, etc. that were handed out onset. This one is Xena's costume form, printed on photo type paper to accommodate the picture. It is pretty awesome; gives details of the costume; down to the smallest thing. Since it lists scenes the costume would be needed in; I assume they did this for other actors and costumes as well. I'd love to know how many survived the set!

Xena Friend in Need Third Unit Call Sheet

All of the production material you see here is ORIGINAL production material directly from the set; acquired from a crew member. These are not copies; these are the actual call sheets, production schedules, etc. that were handed out onset. Call sheets are really fun to have; they list different things needed for those involved in filming for that day. Some of those things are: Names of the cast and crew who must show up on that day, dates and times of filming each scene, which extras should be present, descriptions of the scenes to be filmed, and other interesting information such as a list of props that will be used, FX (special effects) gear to bring, animals needed, and lists for the art department. This is the call sheet for the third unit and is in GREEN. It is several pages long and was primarily for the body doubles' scenes.
