Peek A Boo
Hey guys
we're back with another tutorial for you, this is our...
Peek a boo
or grave popper
this is our first animated prop that we made
so we just thought we'd share it with you and show you how we made it
how we made it
here it comes again aahhhh!
here's our peekaboo prop or
grave popper, back in
2009 I think it was 2008 or 2009
we had our first
grave stones and we just cut some plywood pieces out
and it was just a flat piece of plywood I think this one said
RIP in the front and
the following year I just glued some foam
to the a back of it to make it thicker
and then we wanted to join the club of making animated props this is
actually our
first animated prop lots of people have it, its no new idea
as far as the finish on the Gravestone I just painted
grey and aged it we got some of this Moss from Michael's store
the two hands are actually
both right hands, I just flipped one over
and cut the joints its got some wire in it so you can bend
the fingers how ever you want so its kind of nice
lots of spiders in creatures living here so
its like a ecosystem all to itself here's the back side
a lot of these ideas you see we got from
watching other YouTube videos and stuff
this bracket is a steel bracket that actually
is bent at a 90 degree angle and screwed into the back side of the plywood
the bottom here is a
steel plate and I welded these
arms going up and I just have this bolted
this motor that runs here is actually out of a reindeer
motor or its a reindeer Christmas reindeer
it is pretty tired and old you can see how this bracket is actually
broken and I just took some wire I tried gluing it at one time
but it kept breaking so I just used wire
its lasted us
as the pipe that comes up into the skull we just spray foamed
used great stuff sprayed it in there
to fill it in and then this thing right here we actually got from a
can't remember her name but it is from a video on youtube
to prevent him from slamming real hard they just used some pipe strap
I thought that was great so I actually slapped that on
in the middle of the day one one-time it works
I have to put grease on him and a
he is funny because when you plug and un-plug these motors in sometimes
they can go both ways so it's kinda cool
let me plug him in here
this puck light I always had good intentions of changing out
putting LED light because I put a gel
in here so it was a orange light that is just Velcroed on
but it does get hot and burns that lighting gel
plus if rainwater gets on there I don't know how to waterproof
a puck light is so
that is pretty much it I mean its a really fun prop
I always wanted to make more of them you know it's real simple
I think a pneumatic prop
that jumps out a lot faster is gonna get more scares but
this one is cute and a lot of people like it and it's nice to have
several of them in the background and stuff so
go for it, well you told me to wait, no go
so here it is
the peek a boo or grave popper
I don't know what it is there's like several names for it, technical
The Grave Popper
or the peekaboo, OK start over sorry
I see you, Peek a boo
here, I got grease on my face
so we need more, we need to scoot the table out
Honey, well I didn't know to told me to shut it off
no I didn't, so I got all screwed up, no I didn't, ya you did you go shut it off now
well if we edit it right
no because this needs to be all one thing, but the camera doesn't move though
The camera doesn't move, Ya the camera, Its not gonna move!
I don't know see that's why we didn't, we're doing the thing, oh I thought all three
of us were going, no, that's why I messed up, I know!
laugh
Peek A Boo! Ok let's see what that looks like
