While building the zoetrope, I had to find a good material to make the cylinder out of. After trying different solid objects, such as a plastic bucket, metal sheet, card stock, and a large can, I found poster board to be the best solution. In order to enforce the poster board and have it keep its shape, I applied black duct tape to both sides. The black background was also good for making the photos stand out/easy to see. I then measured, cut, and glued the photos to the black strip in sequential order, which I then taped down to the base. The base was made of a wooden stool top from Mrs. Burwell's old stools! I gessoed it and then layered paint on it to achieve a bright, neon color for the 1980s side and used pen and ink for the 1880s side for a simpler, black and white look. I screwed in a metal lazy-susan under the base to make it spin.
