The Tempest Paper Theater
I got the opportunity to bring my characters and ideas to life in a completely different way than usual and build a paper theater with a set and characters inspired by Shakespeare’s, The Tempest.
Step 1: Designing the Characters
I wanted my version of the Tempest to take on a dark swamp theme with surreal forest spirits and otherworldly designs. I couldn’t help but to quickly animate Caliban;s character as the idea of their movement in the wind was too fun not to.
Step 2: Designing the Set
I had to create the set in separate panels with a background and a front piece so that it could be constructed into a set. The design theme of the set is dark swamp with some surreal creatures to match the character design.
Step 3: Assembly
This step involved cutting everything out, assembling the theater and crafting character stands so that the characters can stand up within the theater.
