Puppet linked with city

Ive sat and observed the city of Birmingham and its occupants...documenting the day to day happenings with photographs but the only things i personally see of Birmingham on a regular basis are the trains and station, pigeons, and occasionally the Bullring... so iconic structures, like the Bull statue.
To link my shadow puppetry with the city i've decided to take elements from the shadows cast in the city and show how i see Birmingham and most people who travel to or through the city only ever see these aspects i've plucked and magnified.

Ideas...
Pigeons- in flight, static stages but showing movement using spotlights to illuminate each image
Clock- council houses tower, showing ticking clock stages


Capture flashing images to create movement using stills...juneau projects owl image

Another option rather than cutting each silhouette out of card, is to print the image onto asetate and slide the scenes in front of the lights.

I like that you can see sticks... but would asetate look more professional?

I've now made the decision to not have any sound affects, i think adding a sound track or city audio would just be unneccessary and take the focus away from the images i want to create.

The environment i display the installation or performance will need to be blacked out to create the best effect/ experience..especially if using spotlights.
