Light box begins to take shape

Journal Entry: Mon May 18, 2009, 4:22 PM
Finally started working on my light desk, was going to cut the hole for the disk today but the damn disk wasn’t delivered today :C Here’s a pic of what I have so far though with an artistic representation of the bits I still need to make.




Made it with an old table stand and a few bits of wood. I plan to make the height adjustable by using two long metal screws (its one long metal screw at the moment but I can soon make it 2..) I will have to make a wide hole to fit it in so it has room to move about to allow the angle of the metal pole to change when the height is adjusted. I also plan on attaching some old snooker table cloth around the back to stop the light from bleeding into the rest of the room. As for those lights, I don’t know if Its good to have a shelf attached to the top board or to leave them like in the pic, one light its bright enough to light a room pretty well.

Still a shame about the disk though.. I cant really work on any of it until I get the hole cut for the disk and with out the disk I cant really accurately measure where to put the cut.


alsoalso I made some further progress on that acting clip I'm making. That can be seen here [link]

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

you should give it a whirl, traditional animation really teaches you to be more accurate with your frames because mistakes can really take time to fix.

looking good man. cutting that circle will be tough for it to sit just right, but heck of alot cheaper than buying one.

I managed to cut it right c: Disk fits like a glove. I had two seperate peices of wood and cut a hole in the first one smaller then the disk and another hole in the 2nd piece just about the same size as the disk, the disk sits on the bottom piece with the smaller hole and fits into the 2nd hole which keeps it in place.

I'm sorta targeting myself to keep the cost below £140 (chromacolours portable light box), mines cost £76 to make so woot : D
