RE: The Toybox Tales Stage
A
computer desk is the main stage, with camera on the keyboard section.
I have my camera on a short tripod on a small rotating plastic base designed
for putting under a TV. I had to drill holes in the rotating base to hold
the tripod, otherwise the camera would tip forward.
To duplicate the blue curtains I have would be a
little expensive, as I took two Wee-Folk table top stages from Puppet
Productions and cut off the flaps that make it a case and attached them to
the computer desk. Camera goes on a mini tri-pod on keyboard section facing
upper desk where story is told with toys. The background are two Wee-Folk
stages.
You can view Wee-Folk products at
http://store.yahoo.com/puppetproductions/weefolks.html. I did not buy
the stages for Toybox Tales purpose, but after four years in the
resource room not being used, using them
weekly justified ruining their intended purpose. I obviously inverted the
stages so that the blue part was IN rather than out.
