The Pinhole Project

I’ve been meaning to make a pinhole camera for a long time but i never got down and did it. Well, I’m compromising here that I will make one and you are here by my witnesses.

Today I stumbled upon this website – www.corbis.readymech.com/en and came across some cool looking pinhole projects and decided with all my might a good will that I was going to make one. But me being a picky lady, I opened photoshop and started messing with one of their designs and decided to make a Tim Burton Cheshire Cat pinhole camera. I know, it’s lame but I like cats. Moving on…

This is the original pinhole camera design.

This is my model for the outside box that will contain the box for the actual 35mm film.

If you like my lame design you can download the template here so that you can build it yourself. I will require you to take pictures of it and with it and show me.
The rest of the pinhole project can be downloaded here, this is just the outside box, remember?

As I said before the copyright of this pinhole project belongs to Corbis. I just messed with it, printed a note with their copyright on my box and hope that they don’t get mad. It’s just a project that I’m doing for fun.

My next step is to buy stuff such as black tape, a can (with coca-cola inside so that i can drink it first), get film and print out the box and actually build it.

You can expect a follow up post about this.
