Three Minute Video

 For the shadow puppet theatre I used a see through white fabric and drew on the frame for where the shadows will be which was harder that I thought because all the lines were wavy or slanted and it took me a while to sort it but I got there in the end. I took it to college and one of my tutors suggested to stretch it over a wood like a canvas to keep it taut, and they happily made me one at the Art and Design building. I put masking tape around the shadow puppets frame and painted the boarder in black acrylic paint, which is the best paint to use on fabrics because its cheap, dries quick whereas oil paint would takes weeks to dry properly. I'll just smooth the edges over when it has dried. I just have to make the shadow characters and scenes which I am really looking forward to creating.
