Creating my own Animation Light Box

We had no contextual studies on Friday so I decided to make my own animation light box instead of buying one. I made it for £40 and it took me about 7 hours and its three times bigger than the normal costing £65, I made it from vermiculite and soft pine double sided hardboard and a piece a quarter inch Perspex that I had lying in my shed.  I brought some electrical cable three light fittings and three energy-saving bulbs I first cut and put the box together, followed by the mounting of the light fixings themselves and cutting lengths of electrical cable, I wired it on three sides of the box and on the base.  I placed double sided tape with two links of tinfoil to give it extra illumination it works great.  It plugs straight into 240 V .  I will put in a series of pictures to show how this was achieved now I'm hoping to do some real good animation.








As you can see from the last pictures it works well, and I'm looking forward to using it. If you make one of your own make sure you no what you are doing with the electric side of things.
