Giant Book set design
Fri, 6 Aug 2010, 09:02 amHi. My name is Jason Bancroft and i am a Drama Teacher in Western Australia. For our next production, i would like to make the set a giant book measuring 3m tall with pages 4m wide. Each page could then be turned (on casters) to set the next scene providing a total of 4 scenes comprising of 3 pages and a front and back cover. Visually, i can see what i want but our maintainence team at the school are having difficulties coming up with a construction solution. We are able to bolt the spine of the book to a brick wall but are unsure how to create braced pages that are light enough to move. Anyone who could offer any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You can produce them easily yourselves utalising ordinary butt hidges, grinding off thier hindge pin & bending up a suitable rod.
