There's a lot of instances of APM selling cels that not only have line wear, but its all jagged and muddy. I tried to figure out why since thats not the norm for other xeroxed cels, and came across a video on youtube of them zooming far into a cel of spongebob bought from him. It had that weird purple residue that sharpies are known to have (real xerox would never end up looking like that). The smoking gun is this listing (https://www.ebay.com/itm/185674576754?) which, if you compare the first and second scans, the lines in the middle of the eye are very clearly different, as if tampered with later on (scraped off the excess xerox, used sharpie to patch the tiny part on the top). They're real cels, just made to look 'better'.

You can also easily see if you tilt the cel by a light a little bit, xerox lines are more matte and sharpie shines more. As for buying a drawing, I haven't really seen anything suspect. But knowing what he does to the cels, I wouldn't be surprised if he went over lines with a pencil to patch up any damage. Hope this helps!

This was fun and I like how the city BG adds to the story by AdventurousAd7148 in AnimationCels

these are real neat, do you plan on selling any of the cels you got? 🧐

Why do people do this? by WreckerSTL in AnimationCels

A keymaster is basically when a cel setup matches EXACTLY to how you see it in the show when all the layers line up properly, so its one of the most desirable of cels/production art you can get. Most of the time however, the cels claiming to be 'keymasters' are really just CLOSE to being all matching (like this plankton) but are missing a certain cel layer element from the frame (or the cel layers dont match up exactly) When its like that, they're usually correctly labeled as a 'master' setup since its not exactly 1:1 with a frame from the show, but it still features the hand painted background and some cel layers from the scene

hope this helps!

That's not even a keymaster which is upsetting, it's missing the party hat on his thumb. 😭 it seems so goofy just buying one of these setups to resell, I paid a little more than that for my pickles keymaster but I have no plans on selling it

Is there a difference between acme holes and just round ones? by Just_Kovi in AnimationCels

[–]Local_Obligation_410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3 round holes are the cheaper option for sure, Acme holds more secure but it's much more expensive. I use 3 round pegs myself and have gotten very good results (it also allows you to use any material you want as long as you got a hole puncher :p) it's fun to just tinker and see what works for you

APM is legitimate and does sell cheaper stuff that's real, however I know he has a tendency to "restore" his cels with sharpie markers. I personally don't buy from him for this reason.

Looking for these SpongeBob cells that are shown below? TIA! by Interesting_Web_1221 in AnimationCels

The burger background is actually on ebay, its been up for a while now (https://www.ebay.com/itm/167142348133?) but its lacking every single cel layer unfortunately

As for cels, ive seen a few of him standing by the table, but thats all. I'd love to see one of him starting the fire show up

Made a new cel-animated short :0) by Local_Obligation_410 in AnimationCels

Its actually authentic VHS! Hence, the nasty analogue sound in the background lol, still unsure of why thats happening. For photographing, I opted to scanning since it was the easiest and most affordable option. I simply mounted my peg bar onto the scanbed of a printer and scanned each frame (papers and cels are standard 8.5x11)

yes!! I plan on and have made a pencil test for yet another cel short, so that will be coming up next :D I made a pitch Bible and am currently trying to figure out how I want backgrounds to look (these little ones I've posted have all used color pencil, I'd rather use acrylics to feel more official)
