Haxton staples down the center line between two sheets of white paper that are rolled on the floor vertically so that the entire frame is white. He takes a roll of red masking tape and, beginning at the bottom, makes three lines from the center of the frame to the right, one behind the other. Haxton pulls a roll of black paper down over the right half of the frame, over the red lines. There is a cut to negative. He rolls white paper down the right side, and puts red tape in the same configuration as before.
