Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Denise Robinson, and I'm a set designer for television and film. And, I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. Now, in this segment we're going to put together our shaker. I'm going to take some of my beans. And, I'll put them in my measuring cup. Take my cup off. And, just add them to my cylinder. Put the top on. So, you can see how it sounds. And, you can determine how many beans you want to put in there to get a fuller sound or a lighter sound. After that, we going to cut a piece of material to cover my shaker. So, we just cut a little bit over excess of the cylinder. And, this is the inside of the material. This is the outside. I'm just going to place the outside up, and just roll it on there just to see if I cut it properly. "
