💡 Shadow Prototype Techniques

Students study short mentor examples of rough shadow scenes and rehearse just-in-time moves for testing light angle, silhouette clarity, puppet scale, movement pathways, and bilingual line delivery. They use flashlights, lamps, tracing film, cardstock, sticks, and a script template to practice how a prototype can answer one audience need without looking finished. Teams annotate a quick test sheet naming which design choices are meant to improve emotion, clarity, and cultural accuracy.
