These are some of the videos that I've been looking at for inspiration on how I could shoot hands. I found vimeo was a much more helpful and creative video database than site like youtube.
Hands of bresson

This was a very interesting look into how hands can really say a lot about what is going with a person. Bresson really focuses on hands in his films and this video really shows the imapct they have.
Street Hands Project

Hands can be used as very powerful symbols, there are some interesting gestures created for this street art movement.
Harper Collins

I liked the simple minimalistic style and colours of this Harper Collins ad.

I liked the fluid motions created in this video. Very simple and elegant.
Hands on

This is a very clever music video the utilises a bird eye view of instruments while hands enter and leave playing each one.
