I wasn't please with how the instrument idea was turning out so I went back to the very start and explored a few different options. Still going along the music/ballet theme, I was inspired by the music video 'OK' by Shitdisco (prevoious post) and thought about trying to create my own Birmingham style pop-up puppetry book.

I have a pop-up book by paper engineer Matthew Reinhart, which has some amazing pop-up scenes - one page in particular, the dancers seem to 'spin' when you open/close the pages - I thought this would adapt well using a Ballerina (Birmingham Royal Ballet).

It soon became clear that unfortunately this idea was also not going to work - I was going to struggle to get good enough picture quality for a lot of the page ideas - in particular the singers (Ozzy Osbourne/Beverley Knight etc not at hand for photoshoot in the scoop!) And there is some very clever engineering which goes into books created by Matthew Reinhart - I did not feel that I would be able to adapt this to my idea with good quality results.
