Lightbox Landscapes (NeonMob series)

This GIF series was made for NeonMob.com. Each card in the series is color themed to a season and accompanied by a haiku to evoke their tableau. 
Spring Bamboo
Repose beneath leaves. 
Bending wood and narrow path. 
Forest thick but soft.
Summer Waterfall
Quick rushing water. 
Suicide plunge into air. 
Repose into mist.
Autumn Temple
Far remote from eyes. 
Watching unspoiled nature. 
Honing discipline.
Winter Canyon
Great rift in the earth. 
Bridged by men and their train. 
Never contained.
Storm Dojo
First rain this season. 
Falls on the place of the way. 
Lone figure sits watch.

The first lightbox I made as a gift for my cousins. This was the inspiration for my digital Lightbox Landscape NeonMob series. I made a cardstock construction out of several layers (spaced with some thin particle board) with the window growing gradually smaller to give the illusion of distance. I rigged a set of christmas rice lights to run back and forth along the top edge to cast light downwards and create a silhouette effect on the bottom of the motif.
Here is the video Examination.
This is the second lightbox I made as a gift. I was able to separate the different colors into each frame panel and create a different motif for each. This one inspired the majority of the NeonMob series.
Here's a look at it in the light.
And the video examination.
