Hand Puppets..

I wanted to explore as many different conventions of film as possibly. After looking at stop motion I realised how time consuming that would be and it would most likely take up valuable time that I could be doing a lot more filming. Because I want to be as original and creative as possible I am looking at different techniques and to add in. 
After doing a lot of research into different films, I remembered the muppets and I thought that maybe not using humans would be an interesting stance. 
However, I offered to help sir with a year 9 and year 10 class, who have made a series of puppets, and were looking to make a music video with them. I thought this was a great chance for me to experiment with using other things within the film. I found that using puppets was really hard, because the puppets we were using were hand puppets,  it was difficult to make sure that arms, and peoples bodies were out of the shot. 
I could also imagine that lic-sycing would be difficult and equally very time consuming. So perhaps I should stick to using real people, as it would be a lot easier.
