Four VFX storyboards of the Devil's Tower chase hand-drawn by production illustrator George Jenson for Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The American military chased Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) and Jillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon) while they attempted to scale Devil's Tower.

Created by Jenson to coordinate which VFX were needed for the landing sequence, this set consists of four storyboards titled "Troops Moving Thru The Trees," "Troop Leader Signals Recall," "Basecamp Staging Area," and "Reverse - Past Wild Bill - Beyond Lacombe." Each is annotated with specific shot requirements, including angles and lighting, and rendered in ink and watercolors on serrated drawing paper. The set exhibits torn edges and discoloration from age. Dimensions: (each) 11.75" x 9" (30 cm x 23 cm)

Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
