The idea for the praxinoscope:
This idea has come to a failure. This is due to not being able to cut the mirror into exact small enough pieces, without having to see a specialist company. I will have to change to plan to make it a zoetrope instead, due to not having enough time as I have other things which I need to make and finish before the show along side this.
This means that all I have to do next is make 24 stills and place them onto card which will go around the outside. I will also have to add slits twice the size of the image above each still. When this is all added, I will make a wire hanger which you will be able to hang the lanterns off in order to see the inside of the zoetrope. This will then allow the viewer to see the piece, with the lanterns still being needed to do this with.
It is a bit of a disappointment to change the design last minute, but I have done this to allow me time to finish and get ready for the show in time. If I were to overcome this mirror problem, then there is still a possibility that I will encounter another problem, wasting a lot of value able time which can be used to make something else like a canvas or even some more angel dolls.
