For my slinky idea I planned on doing several clips of the slinky travelling across the screen in different locations. After thinking over this, I really liked the idea of sequences and therefore researched into chain reactions with objects. From this research, I found an artist called Fischli and Weiss.

'The Way Things Go' is a 1987 art film by the Swiss artist duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss. It documents a long causal chain assembled of everyday objects, resembling a Rube Goldberg machine. The art installation was in a warehouse, about 100 feet long, and incorporated materials such as tires, trash bags, ladders, soap, oil drums, old shoes, water, and gasoline.
