Homemade Animatronic Pirate Skeletons - Full Show
love to see infinity mirrors in stuff like this!
Did you freehand all the artwork or use a projector to trace it?
This is really cool. We have a bunch of prop skeletons and a full size science class type articulated skeleton. I would love to add some animation to them this year.
I always loved this part as a kid but as an adult I can’t help but wonder how many magic mushrooms those animators were on when they created this scene lol.
Thank you very much for that Video. I did not know that there is a software like that.
Love your stuff. I'm wanting to create a scene consisting of three witches that talk and move to a set repeating program. Can you give me any advice?
nice
Hi Kat, can you use a raspberry Pi to control the servos? I am looking to make a skeleton move and fake walk for a stage prop. Cheers Phil
I’d like to see how you made that roof
7:34 FNaF reference
Omg this is going to help me so much thanks 🙏
How can i use multiple pneumatics??
It work with pneumatics🤔🤔
I'm trying to make an animatronic but I know NOTHING about it so this video is just gibberish for me. Also I have know clue where to go to find out how to do these things so if anyone can help me please reply to this comment.
Been a while since I’ve been Jon this channel, but I’m planning on making a demo dog animatronic from stranger things. Gonna have a mechanism where it pops out at people
Hello I was checking checking with you to see if you can help with my Servos I can get the program to work and having to hook up things to other things and your video helps but I keep getting no where.
Elizabeth, you are a wonder! This may be a stupid question, but is it possible to weatherproof this for inclement weather outside?
Love it
If you are looking for an easy and cheap animatronic solution, using a free open source software you should also consider to have a look at the folling link: ruclips.net/video/QalkR-c4_Ys/видео.html
Might you consider revisiting this build with a voice gpt ai?
Thank you
Heffy stanley
YOU ARE GENIUS!!!! THANK YOU
Bro what is up with the music, are you teaching how to make a blinking eye or how to feed cows?
is there a way to prgram the movement and audio to play when a push button is pressed like a decoration from spirit halloween?
This is great, perfect for a project I have in mind.
Thank you young lady! You're very helpful and educational. It's helping me take baby steps in a new world. It's something I've always wanted to do and I'm exploring! Thank you!
how did you get your skeletons to sing to the music
Why take you a plastichand and presenthed the mothors vhitt ???😟😟😟😶😶😶💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜???????????????………
Where did you get that multi servo tester? I have that does three. I like that one that does six. 🤔 and how much was it?❤ thank you you do a great job. Keep up the good work do you do Christmas things to?🤩 I would like to see that. you can make talking your nutcrackers, and maybe talking polar bears and Santa clause just to mention a few ,you can let your imagination go wild.❤😄
Definitely not studying for fnaf...
Very good job,,,I got a lot of ideas from this video,,,thank you
The spray paint melts the foam due to the solvent in it. The off-gasing is hazardous. I recommend sealing foam in acrylic first, even a thin coat will prevent the foam melting. Though if you want a rattle can solution, prime it in fast dry polyurethane spray.
CAT!! After watching and re-watching your vids a BUNCH of times... i finally cobbled together an animatronic SHOW of my own! So THANK YOU for these vids! We hope you are doing well and still working within the field of animatronics! (If you have time, please drop us a line and let us know what you're up to... i know it can take a lot to make full vids and stuff) ANYHOW... here is a clip of our animatronic skeleton and raven show. Once again, THANKS! ruclips.net/video/6KM7IcNKUrE/видео.html
Fantastic tutorial. Super helpful.
W❤🤘
I also have a long audio track without events right away and there is no way to fast forward or drag the “trigger line” to wear I want to be 😤
I am kinda disappointed with VSA hobbyist…I got the whole way here with the servos, track skull, but VSA is so antiquated I can’t believe I paid $80 for this. It doesn’t seem to have the highlight all events and shift them to the right function using command key anymore. If there tech line doesn’t get back to me I am stopping the payment on my credit card.
great video! wondering if youve done anything that just lifts up and down a skeletons half body and if theres a possibility that it can be submerged? 💀😅
It’s amazing that even women can build animatronics, which I like more power to them. I’m making a small Animatronic his name’s Helpy he’s from Freddy Fazbear’s pizzeria simulator
I love your channel and everything you do, but you didn’t have to go so hard with that pointer 😂😂
Really cool stuff, Cat.Just discovered your channel today.
Great stuff
So... no more videos then?
Do you have any videos or instructions for moving a skeleton arm and fingers to grab?
Very cool!
I am from the FUTURE LOL 😂
Nice job ! 🎃
