We are doing a stop motion animation film called Tim. The movie is a stop motion animation film that is dedicated to Tim Burton and has Sir Christopher Lee as the narrator. Search the directors name Brian Joseph Ochab to find the video.

it's the suckiest thing i've ever seen. it's not a real chick you know.

[ziggybaba]

When it gets to 0:33 its like a rap music video from the mid to late 90's. That is the coolest thing i ever saw.

[hellracer0]

[BadWolfChannel]

That has to be one of the best costumes I've ever seen.

[nawwtoomuch]

amazing

[chewonadog]

Hey hey - thanks for the comments. The MANY hours were spread out over two years... back-to-back Halloween project. The first version had no moving carousel and shorter arms, then I later decided to improve the costume. I always liked the scene from the movie, and after looking at the video I thought I could build the headpiece... after lots of time, I got it together! Thanks again! Peace.

[xNikkaX3]

Omg I want that costume! <33

[triviumAdict]

this is bloody awseome!!!!! funny!

[ignoranceandwant]

I know I'm just reiterating what everyone else says, but awesome job. Now all you need is a chubby guy in a power blue leisure suit and white patent leather loafers to play Otho.

[Tw1n66]

AWESOME! Great Job!

[danielchance]

Did you put Jack Skellington's head on top like it is supposed to be?

[chewonadog]

Hi - thanks for your comment. Alas, when building the costume, I could not find a Skellington head that was the right size, so there is a regular skull up top. The creatures around the carousel are not right either. That's something for the future... to sculpt and cast all the details so they are correct -- Cheers!

[CrazyBlonde13]

dude if i saw you in that....well there would be a death hug involved somehow and maybe a restraining order... XD jk YOU SIR ARE SUPER TALENTED! :D

[legendofmetal777]

nice costume.and nice video work to =)

[chewonadog]

Hey all -- thanks again for the kind words! To answer a couple of questions on here -- the entire costume was handmade and painted, no 'purchased' items other than the crazy amount of materials. The hammers are sturdy white foam frames wrapped with paper, lightweight but big. The arms are aluminum poles with fabric sleeves. The headpiece is foamcore, paper, glue, tape and paint. The whole thing took more hours to build than I can remember -- Cheers!

[fogdragon23]

I bet that costume took a lot of work. It's so awesome!

[Zack5333]

atencion k-mart shoppers jajajaja that frace kills me

[teenagehomo]

Simply awsome work! So screen accurate and the damn thing lights up and moves, bravo! Would love to know what you fashioned the hammer hands out of...very impressive! I'm thinking about going in my Davy Jones costume to the Masquerade this year...see ya there?

[NetherLady]

You're made of pure fucking win.

I love you.

Have my children.

[samythekay]

man i dream of such a hat since i'm a kid ( i already got the costume :)

[comicconfreak]

That was just the most kickass thing ecer!! *screams fromjoy*. Did u make the costume or was some of it bought? Love the hat!

[chewonadog]

Thanks y'all - I'm glad you enjoyed the comic con masquerade (BTW-lots of cool people, costumes and staff!) and this home-made video.  We were shooting still photos of the costume and I figured why not make a little tribute to the original scene? Cheers!

[OneRadicalDude]

I got to see this on one of the giant screens at Comic-Con. You did an amazing job with the Beetlejuice costume. All the time you put into the costume, I must say, was worth it.

[LeavingForParis]

That was AWESOME! I love it at comic con and this video just makes it better, awesome job and fantastic ode to one of my fav movies.
