B25 Clapperboard Replica - Interest thread - updated OP

minigeffminigeff EnglandPosts: 7,884MI6 Agent
Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here, life’s been... interesting, but I’m hoping to get back on my feet. I have some loose ends that I need to tie up and this is the starting point of making my way through it.

I’ve had the idea of making some replica B25 clapperboards to kick things off. These will be full size and you’ll be able to write your own stuff on with a whiteboard marker.

At the moment the plan is to make them as aesthetic pieces, but if there’s interest I could do a light up (but non functional) 7 segment display at additional cost.

I don’t want ANYONE to send any funds now, this is purely an interest thread.

Based on 18 boards being made, the estimated cost would be £110 each plus p&p, so approx £120 all in.

To make it work I need at least 6 definite buyers.

There will be no reruns.

    Nice to see you back on here MG—It's been a while! I hope everything's okay -{

    I'd like to throw my interest down. If we get a title/logo before these are made are you planning an update?

    Yeah that’s a possibility, for now it’s an exact replica of the board in the first post. If anyone wanted any personalisation going on I could accommodate that but I’d need a deposit of some sorts so I didn’t end up with a wasted board should someone change their mind.

    Would it be possible to wait until we have the actual title?

    Well I guess technically you could, but the idea for me is to always make screen accurate stuff. The way I saw it was making this version with B25 on captures a bit of Bond history and gives more of a talking point.

    Interesting project. That's a Denecke (possibly a TS-3) Time Code "smart" slate. Looks like they customized it with a piece of plexi. £120 is not a bad price considering real smart slates go for $1200 - $1500 or more.

    Indeed it is, Deneke TS-3 with custom slate.

    Interested at all? :007)

    Hi guys,

    Quick update.

    Along with trying to keep my life on track, I’ve been doing bits and pieces. The clapperboard from B25 is one of them, and I am making some headway.

    It’s been a nightmare trying to find someone to do a good enough job on these, I think I’m about there though with the slate parts.

    Just some stickers to get made and then I should have a ‘first off’.

    Stay tuned....
