Making my own lightbox- Castle brief

-

I am making a lightbox for my cut out layers. It will be A2 size and I will fit lighting inside that has multiple colour to change the mood effect. I have white perspex instead of clear that will soften the lighting.

 

The above photo is of the side panels that I will attach together with the staple machine



In the audio video below I go through my process of making the light box.


Getting ready to attach the base.

However, under further inspection, I prefer first image, covered with card because the background looks smoother.  In the video footage you can see the ripple effect from the lighting. this is something I thought I would like but I think it is distracting and doesn't help with the illusion I am trying to create.
