I broke this Halloween special into two parts. Each part will feature some pictures and clips from the two major Halloween projects this year. i didn't get everything done I wanted but MOST of it and just like Linus tells Charlie Brown after another fruitless night waiting for the Great Pumpkin "Just wait till next year!"
This guy, "The Captain" turned out pretty good. The arm motion needs work, hes no Abe Lincoln in the Hall of Presidents, but hey its my first animatronic. There is a sea shanty song playing the whole time and when the scare is triggered a scream and some loud banging occurs. To my everlasting delight it terrorized at least three trick or treaters on theri rounds last night. Halloween is great!
The jaw you'll notice moves pretty well in time with the evil laughter and that part of the scare really worked well. Its just a sound activated servo in the Capt's skull to his jaw doing the dirty work but it was unnerving to a couple kids.
Next year our Captain is going to have a full scale WORKING cannon to fire based on the T-shirt tossers you may have seen at parades or sporting events.
I'm hoping for a nearly peed pants affect from that one!
