Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) Department Manager Folder
I scanned a production-used department manager folder from the 1990 movie. This is laid out similar to a press kit, but it was only given to crew members who worked on the film.

Wow that is awesome to see Mike! The info in the packet makes you feel like your a part of the cast.
Love the group photo how the cast members are holding props. Looks like they are sitting on the truck from the farmhouse too. Also I loved seeing the sewer lair from a different angle. |

That is pretty neat dude! Funny I can't find James as Shredder anywhere in the group shot unless I overlooked it lol.

Super cool post! There was a similar package in the material I bought from Eastman, but it didn't have any of the production memos, only the early press/PR stuff.
I know props get the golden treatment in the hobby, but I've always been a huge fan of production documents. There's really no other way to get a peek inside the day-to-day production, seeing the stories of how these things were produced. |

I agree! I know a lot of people here LOVE props, but I've always been more interested in this sort of information - particularly because it's something that can be shared with everyone.
Thanks, NinjaRap! |

I haven't really looked at this at all just yet, but I did download it eagerly. Seems like something super cool, & I look forward to going over it. Thanks so much for sharing! I get so jazzed on this kinda behind the scenes material. I try to digitally archive all TMNT history, so this is a sweet addition to my collection of files.

Ninjarap Mike is a super rad dude that's incredibly generous with sharing rare materials from his collection. Plus, he has one of the most fun TMNT-themed websites online. |

It's funny you should mention Eastman because I happened to be watching a video on YouTube the other day that goes into his vault, and I thought I saw a similar-looking glossy folder resting against a painting in the background (around the 1:18 mark):
There was a time when I didn't think much of production material, but now I totally appreciate it as an invaluable look into the movie-making process. You can learn a lot more from this kind of ephemera than with props. It also doesn't hurt that this stuff is a hell of a lot more affordable (and likely rarer, too, because I can't imagine much of the paperwork survived after filming wrapped, let alone almost 30 years later). By right, there really should be a stickied thread dedicated to behind-the-scenes material, like there is with props--a place to post set photos, production documents, scripts, storyboards, old magazine scans, etc.--because these things are just as important. That might encourage more people to share items from their collections. For example, I remember reading years ago that someone here owns Paige Turco's annotated TMNT III script in which she wrote profane comments in the margins whenever she got frustrated with the screenplay. Now that I would love to see! |

Wasn't it Roseangelo that picked up Paige Turco's TMNT3 script? |
