Auction History Result 4m0339 BIRDS camera original 2.25x2.25 negative 1963 Alfred Hitchcock with lighting equipment! Date Sold 6/11/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Photographic Negative (measures 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" [6 x 6 cm]) (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, the classic 1963 Alfred Hitchcock suspense horror thriller ("Nothing you have ever witnessed before has prepared you for such sheer stabbing shock!"; "'It could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made!' - Alfred Hitchcock"; "'...and remember, the next scream you hear may be your own!'"; "The birds is here!"; "Daphne Du Maurier's shattering psychic thriller."; "Based on Daphne Du Maurier's Classic Suspense Story!") starring Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, Tippi Hedren (billed as "Introducing 'Tippi' Hedren, A Fascinating New Personality"), Veronica Cartwright (13 years old), and Richard Deacon. Note that Alfred Hitchcock used the two taglines "The birds is coming!" and "The birds is here!" on several different types of advertising for this movie, no doubt because he thought it was funny that while it is technically grammatically correct when referring to the movie, they "sound wrong"!

Important Added Info: Note that in February of 2022, we auctioned a different 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" negative from this sequence (with Hitchcock and the people in a different position), and that sold for $626! Note that this is a very rare original Rollei production negative taken during production on this seminal classic film! This is one of ten 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" unpublished negatives (which we are auctioning in ten separate auctions) that show wonderful behind the scenes looks at the stars and crew creating this masterpiece of horror. Each is one of a kind! Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo (see below for more on this). We have put a scan of the negative that shows the "positive image" (in addition to a photo of the negative image, so you can better see its condition). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE A PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE, NOT A POSITIVE IMAGE LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction that positive image scan that is both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is. What are camera original negatives? These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Obviously, camera original negatives are far more rare (and far more desirable) than studio-issued ones, but both are very high quality, and both can be used to make extremely high resolution positive prints of the image. Condition: good to very good. One edge is slightly frayed, but it does not affect the image. This has India ink numbering at the bottom. This has some dust, light scratches and other minor flaws that could easily be cleaned before printing or retouched after scanning. See our positive image for how great this looks!
