LESSON FIVE. 17|10|12. - 'Talking Hands'


We watched a clip from ‘The Labyrinth’ of the helping hands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIVIDmuJZLI This was our given stimulus. We were given half an hour to create a way to effectively create hands of our own as well as creating a way to disguise the body so the only thing that we could see is our hands. So, Chris and Matt went off to find some pictures of these helping hands so we could create some more ideas and give us a base of how to create the hand faces. So, we used metal structure as a hold for two black sheets to create a tower. We then cut slits into the sheets so we could put our hands through. The bottom part of the structure had a table top so we could fit a person underneath as well as people on top whilst all being inside the tower. 
Me, Ciara and Emily did the first face - we wanted to show either a neutral or happy expression and it ended up like this:

Then, the next face we just used Jake and Chris, so the face was much simpler. But we wanted to create a generic sad expression:

Then, Emily Matt and Kelly did another face to show a more angry expression so we had a bit of variety and think this one was probably one of our most successful:

We then did some movement with the hands so we could see if they would work and look as though they were carrying through speech.
