I've always like these kinds of things. One thing you might try is overlap the perforations so there isn't as much of a black gap between rows of images. Just a thought.
I think this kind of project where you have to visualize the whole scene across 36 frames can be really instructive. A lot of people who study at the Art Center in Pasadena do a project where they shoot a whole roll of 36 and contact print it as a long strip on 5" RA-4 roll paper that can be processed in a machine, and the challenge is to make it into a coherent image in your head before shooting it.
