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.

Xena Friend In Need Second Unit Call Sheet

This is the final call sheet for the second unit; it is in YELLOW and is several pages long. It includes tribute poems written for a horse that died onset and other "goodbye" poems and notes from the crew. This second unit was filming all the stunt scenes, so the stunt doubles are the primary filmers for this day.

This call sheet is for the main unit (Lucy and Renee's scenes) and is double-sided. There are also directions to the set, a fire escape plan, and every other detail needed for the day's filming. This call sheet is white.

Xena Continuity Photos

Truly a "holy grail" item for anyone collecting authentic production material! I was fortunate enough to be able to buy some of these genuine, one of a kind collectibles from New Zealand. A set carpenter took them home after filming as a keepsake and fortunately, decided to sell them just recently. You can't see me, but trust me when I tell you I'm doing the happy dance right now. I have always hoped to be able to find some of these for my collection!

For those of you not familiar with this medium, a continuity photo is almost always a POLAROID photo, taken onset after filming has wrapped for the day. The pictures are taken by the prop, wardrobe, special effects, or makeup departments so that when filming resumes the following day, scene continuity is maintained. Usually the photos are of hair, makeup, wounds, or certain placement of items on an actor's person. These photos are exceptionally rare, because most were tossed or kept by crew members. They are also sought after because there is no negative and they cannot be reproduced. So each one is a one-off, so to speak. The actors often clown around for these pictures as well. In addition, most of them have writing in the white margins, to indicate episode, or other information such as material used for wounds or accessory placement.

Of the ten photos pictured, eight are of Lucy and two are of Rebecca, from the Amazon horse department. The picture in the upper right corner, side view of Xena with a wound on her arm, is no longer in my collection. The other nine are. My favorite is the one of Lucy smiling, wearing her set robe and holding a script.
