Halloween 2013 Animatronics
A corpse locked in a stockade, running fully sequenced performances — voice, lighting, soundscape, and motion — built inside October's 30-day challenge.
The display for the 2013 Halloween season: a corpse locked in a stockade, performing complete sequences — voice, lighting, soundscape, and motion all running from one score. All of 2013's Halloween props came out of our annual self-imposed 30-day challenge: whatever goes up in October gets designed and built in October.
I did the hardware, software, soundscape, lighting, and sequencing, built the animatronics hardware, and sculpted the head. Dan Veazey did the voice performance and built the stockade and body.
The sequence above is Flies and Wasps. The same display also ran a second performance:
Ascend to Heaven
The 2007 singing skulls came out of an earlier round of the same October challenge.
