E Stings inspiration.

When I was thinking up a concept for my Sting, I initially thought about the colour purple. I remembered a nice pair of purple gloves I own, decided I wanted to involve them in my idea somehow and from there began to think of ideas that could include the use of hands.

These sequences immediately came to mind. In South Park I liked how one of the opening themes showed the hands actually arranging the pieces of the characters along with the stop-motion equipment.
The second video is from an old show I used to watch as a kid called Zzzap! and I always loved the Handymen characters. Watching some of those sketches inspired me to think more about the visual theme of my idea, and so it was decided it would be magic.

The intention for this idea is to create it using stop-motion techniques, though I'll also be thinking of including some drawings and taking stills to edit digitally, giving me an idea for how I'll edit the look of my film after shooting.
