![]() ![]() One (1) circular (12" diameter) fluorescent light and bulb(s).Scrap for mechanism on back of desk (we used spruce): one (1) 1"圆"x4' (you will rip it into two (2) 1"x4"x19.25" pieces later), one (1) 1"x4"圆' (you will rip it into two (2) 1"x2" (true)x17" pieces, and one (1) 1"x2" (true)x23 5/8" pieces), one (1) 1"x2" (true)x9.5" that we made from scrap.Scrap for light support: One (1) 1"x4"x18", two (2) 2"x4"圆" (we used birch plywood).It is a little darker than the aspen, but it stains seamlessly. We used clear spruce, which had no knots. One 1"x8"x8' that you cut to make the four sides.Eight (8) 1"x2"x3' pieces of aspen (for the legs.they'll be glued together in pairs).The extra 20"x18" piece will be used for the disk. You'll use this as the top of the desk and for the disc. Aspen one (1) 20"x48" sheet (you can get whatever wood you want, but aspen is soft, pretty cheap, and attractive).To begin, here is a sufficient (but not exhaustive) list of supplies that we used: Though I don't have plans on paper (a lot of it was ad hoc and written on the wood itself), I will attempt to explain what we did as best I can. So-how does one go about making one of these bad boys? That's an excellent question. My wood-savvy Dad agreed to help (read: I drafted him). I'm not the best one to answer that but what you can do is set up a tri pod tape it to the ground/table lay out your papers and make some sort of vice you can place each paper and they will always be in the same exact spot, you don't want your animation to be bouncing around all crazy.After reviewing a few sites discussing how to make an animation desk (including here, here, here, here, and here), and after the eighth(ish) family trip to Disney World a few months back, I decided to make one myself. So what do I do when i finish drawing all my frames? The more advanced answer would be, Plan your animation/movie I wouldn't start a movie jsut yet if I were just starting out try making a stick figure run, that's a challenge in it's self. Hmm interesting question, fortunately I have a few good answers, get some paper and a pencil draw out your first frame of the animation then go from there! I like to use a bag clip with a rubber grip on it to hold my pages completely perfectly square, It takes a lil' bit of prep work but without it I don't see how I could ever animate anything.īetter to have those chips go stale then to fudge up your animation. Now that you have a self built light box as good as any other how do I use it? ("umm define perfect?" if you're thinking this id say go back and restart from the beginning.) I put mine in like 4 inches ,from the edge.Ħ.you should now have 4 points exactly perpendicular to each other, take your strait edge and make lines between each point,ħ.From each edge of your rectangle measure into the rectangle 1/2 inch or one cm, make 2 marks on each edge.Ĩ.then draw out the lines you should now have a perfect rectangle inside a perfect rectangle position the glass exactly with one edge on the right line and one edge on the left line.ĥ.Slide the pane of glass up and down the desk to find your comfortable spot. do the same thing but for the top half of the desk this time.Ĥ. Mark a point on 0 and on the number you got when you measured your pane of glassģ. measure your pane of glass, divide that number by 2 and the number you get needs to be where you place the yard/meter stick. mark that out on the top and bottom of the drawing surface.Ģ. 1.Measure the exact with of your desks surface, Divide that by 2 ,and voila you have the exact middle area of your desk. ![]()
