Cardboarding!

Throughout our music video, objects throughout the house are going to turn into cardboard to show that, despite their search to be the perfect couple, their life is becoming so fake and forced that everything is becoming 2D. Furthermore, the idea that they're cut-outs of objects begs the question 'were they ever real in the first place?'

We realise, however, that turning objects, possibly big ones such as a sofa, in to cardboard is going to be a challenge and so we researched ways of doing this.

Firstly, we though that we could just take high quality photos of the objects we want to change and then send them to a company to have them printed onto life-size cardboard cut-outs. However, most websites we found were charging quite high prices, for example, £60 for one cut out of a person.

This lead us to seek other methods and I went and spoke to the set designer/builder, Al, who said that the Theatre Department have a piece of software which allows a person to take a photo and print it on to however many pieces of paper needed in order to assemble them on to a life-size cardboard structure: like a jigsaw. He said that we are welcome to use it as long as we cover the cost of the ink, which might be expensive so we will need to research this further.
