hi, as i promis (to tdub303) i upload my tut "stensil"
first of all sorry for my english :_\
in russia In each shop is chinees noodles (Disgusting)
The software-boxing is done of a box:
1. 
On the back party we cut out an aperture under the form of flash
2. 
The external party we paint in black color. It is necessary that light from flash would not pass from lateral faces of a box
3. 
Then we print the image. I print 2 pieces. I impose against each other so the image would be imposed, it is necessary that light would not pass through a black background
4. 
Then the printed picture it is put on a cover from a box
5. 
We take flash and it is inserted into an aperture
6 
all is done
i hope what this tut help somebody...
and second time Sorry for my english ))

Dude, awesome tutorial! Really freakin cool. I didn't quite understand that the front of the stencil didn't need to be black, and that the flash came from *behind* the stencil. This is much more understandable after reading through your whole tutorial. Awesome shizz :)

Here is my version of the light box:
just a box with drop in stencil
folds flat for storage
It's pretty rough looking..but it's my first attempt
thanks guys for posting your work!

@ steve06srt8 - thanks for showing us. i am using almost the exact same set up. The difference is my flash is at the back of the box behind the stencil where i noticed yours is at the side. Why did you choose the side rather than the back?

Hi tdub,
There just happened to be a handle hole there...
haha
I was planning on putting it at the back...i may still do so
I just built this today. Still pretty rough

i find it can be fun to skip the whole opaque cellophane step. it makes the fills a little more interesting

1st attempt at stencil-ing! :D
My techniques & tools are still a major work-in-progress (had to just make due with what I already had), so it came out looking a bit rough... but was lots of fun to experiment with!
Looking forward to playing with this technique some more in the future...
Thanks for posting all the great tutorials, everyone... they're really cool!

I printed the color image (on matte photo paper) on a black background on one side, then a white silhouette of the image on the other side (with a black background)

My first attempts after reading this tutorial. Thank you all, I now have something to get proper obsessive over!
I Made the stencil from a shoe box, packing foam sheets and a film camera with toilet roll over the flash to disperse the light.
Not perfect but a good start.
Going to need a bigger box...

Hi everybody! My attempt on building a reusable, foldable light stencil with "stencil changing option" ;-)
Got the basics from tdub303´s tutorial and used the basic design of THEM_chernobyl_BUDS project. A big thanks to you guys!
It´s made of Foam, you can fold it and the stencil it self can be exchanged very fast.
The test pictures are done flashing a LED behind it so its not that good but i´ll try it with a flash tonight

michaelzyy There is another way to post photos.
Go to the photo you want to post.
At top of photo click on "All Sizes"
click on "medium"
In the text box under "Copy and paste this HTML into your webpage:" click once, the text will turn blue.
Now, right click on the blue text and select "copy"
Go to the topic where you want to post your photo and scroll down to where it says "Reply to this topic?" and right click in the box and select "paste"
Then click "post now"
Hope this helps.

Oh damn, why haven't I been reading this tutorial before?!
That is SO much easier way of making light stencils than what I've been using! Oh well, live & learn! :P
I have made my light stencils by carving them into a cardboard shoe boxes and lighted them with my mobile phone from the side of the box, not straight from behind..
The good thing about lightning the stencils with a longer lasting light is that you can move the stencils, which gives them quite cool effect! :)
Here's my version:
The bad thing is, just like tdub said, the stencils look always a bit blurry:

so my first ever stencil that worked well was about 7 months ago
I am wondering, especially at you, TDUB... how are you making yours so solid and bright. ive moved to a new city where there is going to be some great stuff and i have got a new bunch of folks who are keen on helping.

Hey guys, you do great! What kind of coloured film do you use to make the stencil light so nice?
For my stencils I use "sandwich-paper" and fix 5 layers on top of each other to get the right brightness - how do you handle the brightness?
Cheers

Just a thought as to the "opaque cellophane" - try using wax paper or parchment paper. Works just as well.
