By rolling a sheet of reflective paper into a tube and affixing it to a stand that we could easily adjust, we created a method of forming kaleidoscopic images by aiming the tube at rotating prisms. We colored the prisms with tinted gels and placed them on different reflective materials that we attached to a turntable. This allowed us to rotate them and play with different colors and mirroring effects to see what we could catch on camera.
