Stage Test
Stage Test
After researching how I could actually create this test, I followed the steps shown through the YouTube tutorial I have linked. This entire experience was both really exciting and incredibly frustrating to create. I loved trying something new and exciting, playing with the concept and eventually getting the entire piece the work. However, the process was long and tedious, especially with the measurements being off due to the material difference (between my use of cardboard and the foamboard suggested). I unfortunately forgot to record alot of my process, however I did remember to take a few photos of my progress throughout.
At this stage, I had created the stencils and cut out each individual piece from cardboard. Then, I stuck the sides, front and back to the base, and then together to create the box shape. Beforehand, I had precut the gaps in each piece, and pre-pierced the small holes into the base ready for the spindles.
In these two photos, you can see the creation of the spindles close up. These were by far the hardest part of the process, me having to make multiple types to make sure they were the right size and height for the stage. after this stage I created a dent into the top and bottom of the ends of the spindles, enough of a dent to fit a pencil in, of which was hot glued into place.
These are two videos of the finished trial. The top video shows the fail attempt with the scroll inside. I found that I had cut the hole in the front to large, so the scroll would fall out and wouldn't follow through like it was supposed to because it would get stuck. To fix the problem, I added extra parts of cardboard to the hole, creating a frame to hold the paper in. With this, it worked very happily and I'm really happy with how the trial has turned out. I know for my final piece I would definitely like to use foam board rather than cardboard, due to the material differences causing alot of issues for me with the trial.
