Making the set

I wanted the set to look as much like a real stage as possible. I used an old box and cut off some of the edges. I then painted the sides black. I made a little stage that fitted in the side of the box and painted that silver. 

I also decorated the box with glittery stars and patterns to make it look more like a stage, as well as adding a red curtain which would close at the end of the show. 

The main problem I faced when making the set was that the set was really dark. Mainly because it was painted Black, but also because the sides of the box was not letting in enough light. I resolved this by using a torch. The animation is a show on a stage so I figured the torch could work as a sort of spot light, highlighting the contestants. This ended up working really well and actually made the animation look more like a show than it did before.
