• From Old World Christmas

Lights, Camera, Action! When making films, a Director's Board, or clapboard, is used to help align the sound with the film. Combined with a chalkboard for the details of the next take, the clapboard is filmed briefly at the start of the take and traditionally has diagonally striped lines to ensure a clear visual of the clap. This glass Director's Board ornament by Old World Christmas looks just like the real thing, with fields to write in all the information about the movie, and a glittered border around the board and the lines on the clapper. Feel like a real Hollywood director when you hang this ornament on your Christmas tree.

Also known as clapboards or slate boards, these essential filmmaking accessories have a rich history dating back to the early days of cinema. Originally made of wood or acrylic, director's boards help synchronize audio and visual elements during filming, ensuring seamless edits and professional productions.

Our ornament captures the essence of this filmmaking staple with meticulous detail—a black and white board adorned with essential information like scene numbers and take counts. Glitter around the edges adds a festive flair, turning your tree into a miniature Hollywood set!

Hang this ornament with cinematic flair and let it transport you to the glitz and glamor of Tinseltown. It's a witty nod to the artistry of filmmaking and the creative visionaries behind the scenes who bring stories to life on the silver screen.
