- Lot Description
A collection of customized HP computing equipment and other production material used in WarGames (MGM, 1983). Colin Cantwell used this equipment and related material for his work on creating NORAD at MGM Studios in Culver City, California. These displays were designed to match the NORAD look by using special filters and software. In one of his last Hollywood projects, Cantwell was asked to design the NORAD war room scenes for the movie WarGames . The 12 giant War Room wall screens were programmed by Colin in a rush environment where each screen's programming occurred the night before filming. These "large monitors" were, in fact, mini customized Hewlett Packard computer monitors that were enlarged for dramatic movie effects. This lot includes three sets of equipment that were set up in front of each camera so that each of the three monitors could be filmed: an HP custom code writing green image display, no model number, and a modified HP 1336 A (two stand-alone monitors) and 1336 P power supply (three of each piece, nine total). These were custom modified medical displays that were converted by having picture tubes with special phosphors to produce the seven colors needed for the war games monitors. Included are all three pieces of equipment for each setup, one for each of the three cameras; nine pieces total for each of the three systems: one monitor that is 20 by 8 by 8 inches, one monitor that is 20 by 8 by 6 inches (x3), and one power supply that is 14 by 8 by 6 inches (x3). In addition, there is a fourth, slightly modified set of the above three items, which were used by Cantwell to use in programming the content for the NORAD screens for the next day's shootings (same dimensions as outlined above). Also included in this lot: manual for the HP 1336 A&P equipment; stage plan for the shooting of the war room scenes; technical production schematic; five production blueprint storyboards for the NORAD war room; map and diagrams of WarGames studio location at MGM Culver City; scale model of WarGames MGM Culver City Sound Stage 16; illustration/diagram of image projection paths for shooting the movie (two copies); NORAD image of U.S. Air Bases (one black and white, one with red as printed by the HP printer); the first illustration/proposal of the WarGames screens (13 pages loose, some with hand illustrations); later arrangement of NORAD screens; multiple pages showing screens as the movie progressed (26 pages in a black three-ring binder, with notes and hand illustrations), WarGames 35mm still picture camera with custom bracket and interface used to check camera alignment, WarGames Production Notebook with Final Draft of Screenplay (“FINAL DRAFT” dated January 6, 1982; 132 pages), script is bound in a black three-ring binder and includes handwritten notes from Cantwell throughout; a WarGames Production Script marked “29” (“FINAL DRAFT”, dated July 8, 1982; 116 pages), script is loose bound with two brass brads, and a map illustrating layout of the War Games rapidly expanding attack on the United States.
