Building the Contraption.

For the Base, I ended up getting an umbrella base like this:

I bought a wooden dowel that fit into the base, and drilled a 3/8 inch hole into the top of the dowel. Black tape was wrapped around the dowel for greater aesthetic appeal.

I stuck and metal rod though a wheel similar (but not the same) to the one below, and drilled four holes around the circumference so skinny metal rods could stick into the wheel and be able to now spin.

Tent poles were stuck together to form a ring which was then places atop the metal rods. This formed a circular structure to which the printed paper was formed around. Once all 51 of the images were finished, they were compiled within a .PSD file and printed on one long piece of paper.The paper was then attached to the tent poles with tape and the contraption was nearly complete.

Hwaryoung suggested I make a device that restricted vision to all but one frame at a time. After I mapped out the dimensions, she was able to get two pieces of plastic laser cut for the viewing device.
