- Ever wonder how animatronic creatures are made for the movies? Let a 25 year film industry veteran show you how. This is a step by step demonstration of everything that goes into the design and fabrication of an animatronic eye mechanism just like you've seen in the movies.
This is absolutely brilliant, there are very few demonstrations so well presented, thank you for sharing your hard work. Very best to you
Thank you.
Amazing. I love that this was machined out of metal rather than PLA or resin printed, not that there's anything wrong with those mediums. Your skill and talent is impressive. I also enjoyed your sense of humor, the slow-mo hot potato was among my favorites. Thank you for taking the time to document and post this project. Brilliant work.
Wow - i've never seen such precision before. Amazing....
You are brilliant!
Love your work! thankyou fo rthe demonstration.
Excellent!! Thank you for sharing! Please make more videos!
I am working on it. Glad you liked it.
this is awesome
Thanks!
of course!!!@@monstermancave1994
Awesome man
Thanks!
Great work. I like the design and build of the whole thing. Also Nice to find a channel thats small and just starting out(here’s to hoping your channel becomes huge)😊 Subbed on the strength of this video. Keep up the good work
Inspiring!
Pretty awesome!
Are you going to make these to sell so I can buy ready set up?
If the flex in the long blink wire bugs you you can glue some brass tubing over it. If you need more strength find some heavy gauge syringe needles and use that. The stainless tubing will be very stiff.
Yep, that would work.
Good day, sir!
First of all, amazing showcase! It was a joy watching this! Just a quick question: what is the software you are using for designing the parts?
Fusion 360
Amazing
Recognized your eye mechanism in Gustav Hoegen's stuff. You know each other? Brilliant work BTW. makes me want to get a mill and start cutting aluminum.
also- I've seen soem universal joints used in eye mechanisms. Any thoughts on that? Seems a little simpler maybe.
wow - absolutely incredible! Can you provide info on the milling machine you are using?
The little cnc is a Sherline fitted up with stepper motors. The big manual machine is a Bridgeport.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! But if only you had a 3D printer... print all that in PETG and it'll take you a fraction of the time and money.
Yep, I totally can see why you'd think PETG in a 3d printer would be better. This video presents an example of the sort of eye mechanism I make for use in animatronics for film and television. That means there will be some sort of flexible eyelid skin glued to the blinking mechanics, and often that's a considerable load. Plastic parts created with an FDM printer aren't rigid enough not to distort once eyelids of foam latex (or even worse) silicone are glued onto the blink mechs. The eye balls in this presentation are just placeholders, but if one of my coworkers spent a week making some beautiful hero eyes for a puppet, and then I gouged the crap out of them with my mechanics, it wouldn't go over well. And the gimbles inside the eyeball need to be super rigid and precise as well. Now, with all that said, I am currently working with a company that has its own SLS printer, and I have to say, sintered nylon parts are THE BOMB! If I ever have to make aluminum eye bales again, everyone will have to listen to me whine about it. So there you go.
@@monstermancave1994 Great reply, thank you!
