DIY Micro Studio

"Fox" by Will Foster
Earlier today, I got bored, I was sitting around watching a Mariners Game, and got the excellent idea that I should get creative. After reading all of those Do It Yourself (DIY) blogs on creating one out of a cardboard box, I went ahead and made one of myself. I finally decided to put together a micro studio. It turned out great!

I live extremely close to Wal-Mart (like 5 minutes walking) so making the purchases was very simple! I drove anyway, because i didn't want to carry a bunch of odd things, even if it was a short distance to walk. Yeah, I know, I wasn't thinking much for the local economy or the environment, so don't rub that in!

So, here are the supplies that I collected:

(1) Used box from moving a month and a half ago, FREE (but about $1.50 at Wal-Mart).
(3) Large Poster Boards, $0.38 each (For the white background and the reflection from the top of the box).
(1) Parch Paper, $2.84 (it is supposed to keep your cookies and stuff from sticking to your pan. Instead, i used it to diffuse light).
(1) Clear boxing tape, $1.77

The Setup

Here are some more pictures from the shoot.

So overall the project turned out great, now i just have to find some place to store this beast!
