We've seen the "surface gauge" devices left by the animators in various frames of KING KONG.
Here's something not quite as noticeable--
--a paintbrush used to dab blood on the bullet-riddled Kong during his last stand against the biplanes.
An animator (Willis O'Brien, perhaps?) left it in the frame...
...but it disappears a split-second later.
Just one of those little details that make KING KONG such a fascinating movie.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
I understand that there's also a pair of pliers in one of the jungle scenes. After noticing it, the animator supposedly had it "slither" out of the scene, as if it were another critter. On a related note, there's a still of the beautiful city miniature from the movie, 'Just Imagine,' that has a couple of one gallon paint cans visible in the lower right foreground. In retrospect, this is a nice indicator of the scale of the set.
