Welcome to Cardboard Box Office – our homemade creations of some of your favorite scenes from film and TV built from some of our favorite domestic junk.
The project began after finding that we had accumulated both a lot of cardboard boxes (due to moving to a new country) and a baby (due to giving birth). With our social lives drastically altered we decided to find a way to make some of those housebound weekends a little more fun.
The costumes, props, and sets in Cardboard Box Office are created entirely out of everyday household items, toys, cardboard, and three individuals slowly losing their sanity. Enjoy!
Lilly, Leon, & Orson

Now you need to make a Transmogrifier…..and put Orson in the role as Calvin! For static comic panels, Bill Watterson has such dynamic action, maybe something you can capture in photo form.
Wow! Epic! Thanks 🙂
