Claymation hand design

By using the template I could keep the structor of the clay intact as it was a single piece compared to my first attempt where I moulded each section separately. (below) From this I found that a single hand mould wasn't sufficient when coming to animating, to rectify the problem Cutting two hands out and modelling together gave enough structor to prevent tearing easily.   

Claymation Script

45,000 children in the UK are deaf.

90,000 are deaf from birth.

(Deaf charities name) are dedicated to support, teach and find a cures for deaf children.  

To train,care and located a hearing assistant dog it costs £45,000.

It Cost as little as £14,500 for a child to hear.
Your contribution of £3 per month or what ever you can afford will help to change a child's life.

Above will be animated with two hand making up the poses for each of the letters, no sound will be played to replicate a deaf child's environment with a banner going across the bottom, showing the scrip shown above. I will choose bright coloured clay to trap the attention of the public. I will use a white or black text to contrast the colour of the clay.

The animation will stop at this point with a fade. The following text will pop up on screen. Either with white text and black background or vice versa.
