Oversized Clapperboard

Description

**Action! (But please, use your legs, not your back.)** At Gauge & Gear, we looked at the standard film clapper and thought, ‘This is fine, if you’re filming a dollhouse.’ For the rest of us—the visionaries, the maximalists, and the people who want their production gear to double as a structural load-bearing wall—we present the Walnut Megaboard. Measuring a subtle 4’x5′ and a chunky 6″ thick, this isn’t just a tool for syncing audio; it’s a statement that your cinematic presence is literally too large to ignore. **The Art of the Lamination.** Each unit is painstakingly constructed from laminated walnut pieces, creating a visual rhythm of grain that provides more dramatic tension than a third-act plot twist. We’ve skipped the engraving entirely because, frankly, no laser-etched text can compete with the raw, unadulterated beauty of high-grade timber. It’s analog high-definition at its finest. If the scene is a dud, at least the editor will have something beautiful to look at for three seconds.

**Features & Specs:**
● Massive 4′ x 5′ footprint: Visible from space, or at least the back of the studio.
● 6″ Laminated Thickness: Provides a ‘thwack’ sound so deep it might register on local seismographs.
● Premium Walnut: Because your production deserves better than hardware-store plywood.
● Zero Engraving: We let the natural wood grain handle the storytelling.
● Weight: ‘Substantial’ is an understatement; we recommend a dedicated grip or a small forklift.

**Final Take:** This clapperboard doesn’t just start a scene—it demands an encore.
