Skeleton Groundbreaker | Animated DIY HALLOWEEN Prop How-To Tutorial

New subscriber! Halloween is still new in Holland but more populair every year. I am late for tomorrow, but will have this on next year. Just added the fan to the swing. Works great. Only my skull did not move when the fan was fully rotated to the left or right. for me the sollution was to add another "eye screw" on the spine. That keeps tension and movement in all directions... happy Halloween!

He cant get wet outside?????

I have all the components I need as of today. Very excited to get it running!

Oh man, I gave away the momaroo!

Was really easy to follow and turned out great. I didn't modify the shoulders, but still turned out great.

Oh wow, I love this! Thank you so much for such clear, laymen instructions. I want to try my hand at some Halloween animations, and following your instructions I think I can do it….

Incredible

OMG this is AWESOME!!! ☠

I've recently made this prop... My only complaint is that the momaroo assembly automatically turns off after 4 hours. I wish I could figure out how to bypass the 4 hour timer in it.

The movements are natural and much better than any store bought animatronic

Nice! How would you make it weather/water proof??

Does the fan a swing automatically turn on when power is turned on? Or do you need to manually turn them on?

Wow!!! love it.! Thanks for uploading this! So cool.

I'm making one of these right now. :}

I wonder if i can get any of those items in Australia!!

When you attached the 7" hose clamp to the bottom of the oscillating how did you get it on with the power cord being in the center of the of the base?

Love it BUT 2024 that's a pricey project

nice

Awesome idea ❤❤❤❤ xxx

Omg this is a great creation & thank you for being hugely detailed for those that may struggle to follow along - I must make this

First of all thank you, for this tutorial. It will be a challenge to do because I do not have the two main items that you have in your tutorial for movement. So therefore we have to figure out something different.

First thing is the top of the fan how wide is it.
The second thing is a movement of the baby swing, I guess?

Hopefully we can come up with a replacement for these two items. In order to make this project similar to yours.

We, is me, myself, and I.
Thank you again.

Very very nice! 🇮🇹

Brilliant and very easy to follow along with! Thank you!

Brilliantly Constructed! The movement is so natural! That’s why he is so scary!!

how do you keep your props somewhat waterproof ?? As we get a lot of rain and even snow by Halloween time

I created this and he is awesome !! Ty so much !

Nice....but it's coming out of the ground and his shirt and body are clean. It needs to have dirt all over him. He's too clean.

Interesting ❤

Great video, one of the best I have seen. Where did you get this Skelton?

Wow epic build I absolutely love how you turned in to an animictronic and being so life like

And what about when it rains?

EXXCELLENT Instructions, THANK YOU!!

Thanks, I'm building one right now! Walmart 2023 skeletons have arms that are a little different(upper arm is now mostly one piece with a few screws for just the ball) but you can still use the fender washer+bungee, you just need to dremel a slot in the ball for half the fender washer, the rest of the shoulder joint bungee connection is the same. To connect the lower arm bone, there's a convenient hole from the injection molding that I'm going to put another screw eye in to attach the bungee.

This is amazing. You're quite the craftsman, sir.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing

That was awesome. Thanks. ❤

That is the best. I love it.Thank you for making this video.

I love how much step to step detail you give and the bonus of stopping and highlighting parts , I know I can watch this and make my own , will now be watching all of your videos 😊🎉.

Beautiful work, have you thought about using a windshield wiper motor instead of the fan? This is one to create :)

Working on this build. Had to make some modifications as the skeleton I used had ball and socket joints rather than the ratchet ones like the one you used. Otherwise going well. I am going to use spray foam for the outside covering of the mound.

That was amazing!!!! I'm going to make like 10 of them. And build them into a skull wall.

Is there a way to set Atmosfx projectors up on timers to cut on and off automatically along with my outdoor lights? Or will the projector cut on and automatically play whatever scene I have ready to go or do I have to go into the projector menu and physically start it playing every time I cut it on

would be easier to just say what we don't need to make this prop.

That is Friken awesome !!! A little bit out of my skill level but amazing. Thanks for sharing

I love it! Hey do you have any creative ideas on how to use the old style foot massagers that have the two rotating disks?

NICE! Going to build a few of these if I can find the fan and baby bed thingy

What a thorough, detailed and awesome tutorial! You rock, thank you!!

Wow so cool. I love how you do your videos. You show very clearly how to do it step by step. I also like your voice is very clear and calming. Excellent job on the artwork Halloween prop and your video production. New to your channel but will be catching up and watching all your prior videos. Thanks for being so easy to follow your directions on the how to do things. Awesome 🧡🤎💛🍁🍂

Something tells me this wouldn’t hold up very well outdoors.

Just brilliant!!
