For this one minute Finger Tip, you'll need a paper dinner plate, a pair of scissors, a bit of modelling clay and a pencil.
See if you can beat Stephen's studio time of 47 seconds by using the exclusive Finger Tips timer!
|
|
Start by cutting two slits about 4cm deep and 1cm apart at the north, south, east and west points on the paper dinner plate.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
Now, tear out the four bits of paper plate that are between the slits you've made.
|
Put a loop of sticky tape onto the paper plate.
Then take the pencil and make a hole in the centre of the plate. Press the pencil through the plate, but remember to put the modelling clay underneath to protect the work surface!

 |
When the hole is made, leave the pencil through it.
You've made an animation projector!
To make it work, you need a four picture cartoon, drawn onto a circle of card and stuck onto the flat bit of the plate.
|
You can make your own by drawing four stages of an animation onto the circle of card. Or, you could print one of these out to get the hang of it first! Just click on the design you'd like and it'll load in a new window ready for you to print.
|
To see the projector work you'll need to find a well-lit mirror.
Hold the projector in front of your face. Look at the mirror through the top slit in the plate.
Focus on the top picture, and keep looking at it. Spin the plate, and you'll see the image animate.
