Let's
take a look at Halloween Animatronics Volume 2
Running Time 1 hour and 42 minutes
Are
you ready to take your Halloween Animatronics to the next
level? Well, this DVD is your 'E' Ticket Ride to adding
some Real Action to your Halloween
Animatronics setup! Were talking about Props Popping up,
Things banging around, Violent movements! In short, some
seriously scary stuff and you
can get it NOW! Now, even if you have some reservations
about adding a few more control circuits to your setup and
taking the next step, give it a look! This is definately
the BEST informational DVD on Halloween Animatronics or
Halloween Pneumatics out there right now! Everyone wants
the best Halloween Setup they can get, and this DVD will
can help each and every one of you to really pull out all
the stops and blow them away with AWESOME MOTION and SOUND
!
So let's get started !

Halloween
Animatronics Volume 2
Overview and some BASICS Before we get to the
really cool stuff, we gotta get through the basics. I'm talking
about Basic Pneumatics, Relays and Triggers. Times are tight,
that's for sure but if you can build it yourself you can probably
spend less and have more attention to detail and get exactly
what you need out of your Halloween Animatronics setup. And
because you can make the control circuit as well as the prop
itself, it will make for a much more effective scare. And
better scares make your Halloween setup, better. So here we
go, there are several sections to this video and we start
off with basic pneumatics
|
 |
Basic
Pneumatics We will primarily be using compressed
air to move our props around in this DVD so this section will
get you started with what you need to know and what you need
to get to add pnematic actions to your Halloween Animatronics.
Both in the Video and in the extended documentation that comes
with the video, the information is what you need to know and
where to purchase it!

| RELAYS
Next we'll talk about relays and I'm going to
show you what you need to know to activate the pneumatic valves
that are going to move our props. This section will quickly
demistify the subject and soon you will be using relays to assist
controlling many devices. You will see what type of relay to
get for the action you want to take. Yes, again we are starting
slowly so that everyone can keep up but pretty soon the video
goes into OVERDRIVE once the basics are explained! HALOWEEN
RELAYS |

SCHEMATIC
ONE – MANUAL CONTROL After discussing how relays
work we are going to build our first circuit. It’s going to
be a very simple circuit just to get you off the ground and
start off right. Were going to make a manually controlled
relay circuit. Basically you will push a switch and cause
a relay to activate a pneumatic valve or dc motor

And
of course throughout the video I will be showing you different
types of valves and how they operate, different types of pneumatics
and how they work. These are real world examples and you see
them and what they do up close, personal and in-action!

| AUTOMATION
You want your visitors to trigger your props
- but not be able to re-trigger them right? Well THIS IS
WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR - A Mat switch that does not FALSE
TRIGGER, A LIGHT TRIGGER that DISABLES it'self (temporarily)
and KEEPS Your Visitors MOVING. These
circuits are available NO WHERE ELSE ON THE INTERNET ! Why?
Because I designed them and they are NEW ! AUTOMATION |
 |
NEW
TIMERS From the mat switch and event triggers,
next we will move onto Event Timers. This is where it really
get's interesting and a little bit more complicated. But even
though it get's a bit more complicated, don't worry. I explain
it all to you step by step. And going over the schematics in
great detail so you will know exactly what's going on.The timer
circuits are new, modified and really help you keep those people
moving!

SCHEMATIC
THREE – DISABLE DELAY Next I will show you how
to construct a disable delay (or Re-Trigger delay) so that when
someone triggers an event, they cannot re-trigger it right away.
This is a very important concept for keeping your guests
moving through your Halloween Animatronics setup. You will learn
several setups and why they work. I designed these NEW PROP
DELAY Circuits To SOLVE THIS TYPICAL PROBLEM ! Specifically
designed for this 'Re-Triggering' problem

the PROP
MOTION goes off as well as the AUDIO. You get Triggered motion
and sound from this setup. |
TRIGGERED
MOTION AND SOUND Believe me, YOU
WANT TRIIGGERABLE MOTION AND SOUND ! Also it would be
nice to have TOTAL CONTROL over the trigger, control timer,
pop up prop Motion and the Sound. And NOW YOU CAN ! The Best
Props are the ones that Scare people with MOTION and SOUND at
the same triggered time. We go over a few more schematics
which not only add these important elements but have a 'litlle
more scare factor' than a typical prop.

MICRO
CONTROLLERS You saw them control servos in Halloween
Animatronics Volume 1,. NOW Let's take it up a notch and strat
controlling the pneumatics with these powerful, easy to use
and easy to buy devices. Imagine having the power to control
up to eight big animatronic motions from one little chip.
I show you step by step how to control the pneumatic valves
that will put POWERFUL new motions to your Halloween setup.
This is a 'can't miss' section. Even if you already have microcontrollers,
You really need to see this! Plus, all
the mechanisms are 'not dressed out' You get to see the pneumatics,
the framework, everything ! and more!

THE
TWO-ARMS prop. MECHANICAL MOTION via PNEUMATIC
ACTION. Switching from circuitry and electronics to mechanical
motion, we're now going to construct a prop that will use
five pneumatic cylinders and valves. Several years ago I
designed a pneumatic prop which I like to call "Two Arms" because
that's all he had. There were Two arms, No legs and he was a
pretty scary sight. I wanted to show you him, but I couldn’t
find him in my pile of props so we will have to rebuild him.
From Drawing Board to Full Frame,Silicon Skinned Animatronic!

| SILICON SKINNING
And if that’s not enough for you, we will go
over how to use 2 part silicon and adding silicon skins to your
animatronics for realism and overall effect. This stuff is the
BEST. And if you want your Halloween Animatronics to STAND OUT
from the crowd, There's no substitute for using SILICON SKIN
on your Halloween Props. And with the POWER of Pneumatics, you
can easily handle moving them around! SILICON

| More SILICON
SKINNING We go over using Alginate to make molds,
mixing 2 part Silicon, Molding Faces, Arms, Using 2 part Plastic
compounds for lightweight inner shells, Painting silicon and
much more. Someone else would have made this a video onto itself
but We include it as an extra part just because this stuff is
so realistic and cool! SILICON

Prop Action. We finally start wrapping up the
video with Detailing the 2 arms prop for Action. Yes He lives
up to the Hype and you see from initial design through completion!

Motion and Sound that actually puts the 'scare' into 'scarecrow'...
