hahahaa. i dont know abt shoeboxes, but i make my pinhole cameras out of biscuit tins and stuff. uhm. and i dont use 35mm film for pinhole. i use 120mm. mmmm. well basically you uhm cut a hole where you want the hole to be HAHA. uhm then you paste a piece of foil and poke a hole with a needle and paste if over the hole you cut, the smaller the hole the sharper the images. mmm. but i mostly just roughly gauge. if too small no light can pass through. mmm. i use a light tight bag to load my film and everything. and the main thing is like your inside of the box must be black. and uhm. when you close the lid or sth, make sure it's light tight to prevent any light leaks. oh yeah and the distance between the pinhole and the film shldnt be too far apart, i dont measure mine HAHAHA. but yeah. if it's too far apart the exposure time will be way longer. i once exposed a polaroid for like 6 hours. yeah. sorry so longwinded but hope it helps.
