I've been posting a series of How-To photos on my Twitter stream showing the behind the scenes making of the video for my song Bubble Clouds. Now all the photos have been posted I thought I'd make a little summary of them for you.
Assembling the parts, Blue Peter style[/caption]
I used cardboard tubes to wrap the scroll of paper around and egg boxes to keep the tubes in place.[/caption]
I tested the scrolling using a few sheets of A4 scrap paper.[/caption]
Oops, the screen wobbled loads when I tested the scrolling so I added a brace across the two rollers to prevent this. The brace was of course made from cardboard![/caption]
Yay, the brace works a treat. No more wobbling![/caption]
I "painted" the scenes on my iPad using Sketchbook Pro, then printed them out. Each scene needed to be stuck together forming one super long scroll.[/caption]
Here's the part where the sea falls off the edge of the earth into space. The stars are those glow in the dark stick on ones.[/caption]
