Ghostbusters - Smoke Kit Tests

Showcasing the typical smoke output from a cartomizer plus air pump at various voltages. All devices are run from a 5V source and the air pump is always run at full voltage. There are 3 variations for the cartomizer: 5V, 4V, and 3.3V. Each voltage drop also reduces the total current (amperage) draw for the device, and gives a good estimation of the output. Please use this information to determine whether you wish to use a buck converter to reduce voltage and current to your smoke kit if you are short on power from your battery source.

Catching up on everything I've been working on since the spring, in between the premiere of Frozen Empire and the 40th Anniversary for Ghostbusters Day. This covers a new pack build from a Spirit Halloween full-sized kit, and showcases several new devices now available with the GPStar kits or as add-ons from Frutto Technology. 3 Pack Strainers (for faraday cage): a.co/d/26hwlEM Silicone Tubing ...

SFX - Matilda - Tipping Cup

มุมมอง 3022 หลายเดือนก่อน

For the spring production of Matilda the Musical at my daughter's high school I created the magical tipping cup that Matilda knocks over using her mind. My goal for this effect was to truly make it appear that the cup was something that could work entirely on its own without resorting to a crew member manually knocking it over by being hid inside of a cabinet or under a table. The scene ensures...

มุมมอง 1762 หลายเดือนก่อน

For the spring production of Matilda the Musical at my daughter's high school I created the chalkboard which would need to show writing at a key point in a song. A spare flat-screen TV was tested and used for the display rather than a system of real chalk and magnets, just to ensure the effect could be triggered reliably during each show. This was only made possible by the video already shared ...

SFX - Matilda - Bruce's Cake

มุมมอง 6252 หลายเดือนก่อน

For the spring production of Matilda the Musical at my daughter's high school I created Bruce Bogtrotter's large chocolate cake that the actor needed to "eat" in the duration of the song. This character and the prop are front and center and need to look believable, but also hide-able. The cake was constructed of 16" round high-density foam and slid into a wedge-shaped pocket of brown canvas fab...

Kits for the GPStar Attenuator are now available to the public, so in this video I cover the wiring and connections to get everything working, offer some painting and finishing techniques, and some advice on the final assembly and fitting of components in the shell of the device. This is an overview of the steps involved and uses some early versions of the kit components-some wiring and compone...

A very in-depth video build log for the latest revision of the Proton Pack Attenuator hardware which now uses an ESP32 microcontroller. This was nearly an all day affair, with over 4 hours of footage edited down to just 2 hours of content. It's exhaustive, though I'll explain a bit about the switch to this new hardware and how it works, and then we'll transfer components from a terminal shield ...

Ghostbusters - GPStar Wireless Adapter

มุมมอง 8528 หลายเดือนก่อน

In this video guide I use an ESP32 controller to add wireless capabilities to the standard Proton Pack controller. This utilizes the same microcontroller unit at the heart of the latest Pack Attenuator builds, but without any of the inputs/switches and outputs/lights of that device. By leveraging only the built-in WiFi access point and web server you can directly connect to your pack via smartp...

Who doesn't love a good theme for decorating on the holidays? This year I finally made good on doing Disney's Haunted Mansion as I had everything I needed for the effects. A huge thanks to my wife and daughter for a majority of the decorations and getting those up around the house. I added a small projector which runs a 15 minute loop of the entire Disneyland attraction soundtrack, interspersed...

Taking a look at how the new Attenuator device fared with a full day at DragonCon, and what I changed based on real-world usage. Also diving into the headcanon of why the device might exist and how it would be used as a true extension of the Proton Pack. This is still an in-development device which integrates with the gpstar controller kit. gpstar Proton Pack and Neutrona Wand Replacement Kits ...

This is a scratch-built copy of the Pack Attenuator first showcased by Adam Savage as part of a @tested 1-day build in conjunction with Ghostbusters propmaster Ben Eadie.

This covers some of the optional upgrades to the Haslab equipment using the gpstar controllers: installing the 28-segment bargraph from @fruttotechnology as well as their 15-LED powercell module. These upgrades are completed by modifying system settings via the new EEPROM menu to permanently save the modifications to the pack controller.
