Making of the Cardboard Guitar

As this is a very playful song we decided to use a different way of showing this by using varied instruments instead of the real thing, For example here we are making the card board cut out guitar which I feel, sticks to the joyfulness of the song without straying off making the music video look budgeted.

Another reason which we used these types of instruments was that are search for musicians could be increased to nearly anybody who could keep up with the beat of our song.

The instruments we decided to use where a comb which is for the singer of the group, four cooking pots which will be put together to look like a drum set and a card board cut out guitar which is for the guitarist of the group. The pots and comb will be easy to collect as i already have these objects but for the guitar there will be a bit more effort which will be needed to go into the designing and making.

To start with I found a picture of a guitar on the internet and used that as a template which I based this guitar around. Then I used a stanley knife and a cutting board to cut around the template of the design which left a basic outline. This was all we were going to do but decided that the guiat looked flat so we decided to add two stripes of cardboard where the guitarist would strum the cords which gave it a more three dimensional feeling.
