Chris's three-spot idents campaign for five all started when he had the idea of giant hands playing the world like a musical instrument.
The first execution was his successful viral for Eclectic Breaks in 2006, which showed giant hands playing a roundabout like a turntable. You can see that film elsewhere on the Darkroom page. But Chris always had other ideas he wanted to make and in late 2008 he wrote and directed these films for channel five's 'creative bursts' campaign. The creative bursts campaign saw filmmakers make idents for the channel under an open brief from DixonBaxi.
