'How To' Steps

1. Collect the following items: a film reel or a wheel of some sort, construction paper (black and white), glue, a ruler, scissors, tape or stapler, a sheet of color photos of moving image (from Kinko's for $.99). *For this project, I shot a video of myself, created a Quicktime movie and selected twelve successive shots through Photoshop. I'm sure you can create your own set of successive movement shots by using a disposable camera or with a digital camera.
2. Measure paper (divided by 12 photos).
3. Cut the photos from sheet and arrange in order making sure to label the back.
4. Paste the photos, in order, on the sheet of paper.
5. Cut slits above each pasted photo (about 3 inches high).
6. Create a cylinder by rolling the sheets of construction paper along the reel and secure it with tape.
7. Place on a stable base with a stick in the center of the wheel.
8. Spin and look through the slits.
9. Make sure to play with the speed – the faster the speed the more seamless the motion.
10. Have fun!
