Space: 1999

A set of original storyboards used in the production of the cult science fiction series Space: 1999 produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.

For the Year One episode Space Brain these hand drawn storyboards were created by noted visual effects artist Brian Johnson who would go on to win Academy Awards for his work on The Empire Strikes Back and Alien. These fourteen storyboards were hand drawn by Johnson whilst designing the visual effects shots for the episode, accomplished in pen and felt tips with twelve of the pages containing four illustrations, some in full colour, and scene descriptions underneath relating to the shot which are all inscribed in Johnson's hand. Each of the storyboards feature red crosses over the drawing with some further inscribed with shot numbers, this being done by Johnson after each of the shots was completed at the time of filming.

The storyboards measure 13" x 8" and remain in excellent condition with only minimal edge wear having been carefully stored since the production, very fine.

An incredibly rare example of an original hand drawn storyboard artwork from this acclaimed television series.
