FACEBOOK SUCKS

[akiracon]

Hi MrFighter777 I think you meant Youtube sucks, hahaha! I agree sometimes dude! Thanks for watching my little clip... sorry there's no sound!

[SouthernKudzu]

@akiracon MrFighter said that because a pop-up on the video says that Facebook has disabled the audio.

[akiracon]

@SouthernKudzu Ahh... didn't realize Facebook disabled it! Can they do that? That DOES really suck!! Thanks for the heads up SounthernKudzu and Sorry MrFighter!

[cortedemico]

akiracon. great realistic motion. too bad no audio (nano sec at beginning is creepy). is there anywhere to listen with the audio or can you say what was said?

[akiracon]

Hi cortedemico, The line was, " Ezekiel 25:17, The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness" It's the line from Pulp Fiction. Thanks for your compliment and thanks for watching! Cheers!

[cortedemico]

sorry, i missed your reply. TY for the info on what the pumpkin said. peace out.

[kittybartcam]

How much would something like this cost?

[akiracon]

Hi Kittybartcam, WOW that's a good question... with the amount of labor cost it took to sculpt, mold, do the animatronics, paint, plus, buying all the parts for the pumpkin, I'd have to say somewhere in the tens of thousands... I can't really say for sure, I have to ask my ex boss that question, hahaha! Thanks for your question.

[oddsource]

Damn the video if it had audio would be great... I like the prop though the skin of it is great for Halloween.

[akiracon]

yeah, I think facebook disabled the audio!! Damn them!!!

[Rulitop]

nice!!!!

[akiracon]

Thanks!

[TheCelestialAlchemis]

you fucked up my favorite bible passage

i read that every night and you ruined it

[akiracon]

Hahaha! Well, apparently you haven't read the bible because that particular passage is not in there. Sorry bud. The whole quote that Tarantino used was actually from a Japanese movie called Body Guard starring Sonny Chiba. Just a heads up! But anyways, thanks for the comment TheCelestialAlchemis.

[akiracon]

Hahaha, So true! Thanks for the comment and viewing my vid, HerrApa448!

[Mattchuba08]

what did lovedapizza say?

[akiracon]

Well, basically, he turned the pumpkinhead into a pie, baked it and ate it, while saying, "You ain't so tough talking now!" Hahahah! I dunno... I found it funny because it was so absurd, hahaha!

[Mattchuba08]

lol yea that is good for this animatronic =]

[SherylG86]

One more question if you don't mind... :) Which Gilderfluke product did you use for this animatronic piece?

[akiracon]

Hmmm, it's been awhile and the set-up was sent to me along with a laptop so I have no clue, sorry.

[SherylG86]

Awesome work! :) The expressions & articulation are quite smooth. How long did it take from conception to final production?

[akiracon]

Thanks SherylG86, the conception to final product took about 3 weeks in total, from what I remember. It took a week alone just so I can program the servos using the guilderfluke. Even though it did not make it in the final movie, I'm glad people get to see what we did here on youtube. There were a lot of talented people that helped me to get it to that stage. Thanks again SherylG86!

[mburgett1]

Nice work! How many servo's did you use?

[akiracon]

Hi mburgett1, I had about 11 servos in the pumpkinhead. Thanks for the comment. ^_^

[HyperGoth7]

Oh wow! I love it's expressions, it's an absolutely masterful peice of awesomeness!

[akiracon]

Thank you very much HyperGoth7! ^_^

[ShmellyEggz]

That would be awesome on a ride

[akiracon]

Hah hah that might be cool, thanks for your comment ShmellyEggz.

[ReaperProductionzz]

dude that is so fucking sick!!! do they sell these things?

[akiracon]

Hah hah, thanks ReaperProductionzz, We only made one for Scoobie Doo 2(which they didn't use due to budget cutbacks and whatnot)This would be quite expensive since it's custom made and it come with a laptop to sync the voice to the animatronic.

[uglyjewishnigger]

lol is that a quote from pulpfiction

[akiracon]

indeed it is uglyjewishnigger, lol

[uglyjewishnigger]

lol trippy vid

[akiracon]

Hah hah, thanks man!

[GenXGuy]

wow that's awesome.

[akiracon]

Thanks GenXGuy!

[Waynedang]

I'm your biggest fan. So I'll come over and hang at your place. Eat your food and surf porn on your computer whatcha say.

[akiracon]

Damn, now where's that block user button?!

[akiracon]

Hi KesslerProductions, there were 11 all together. 1 for the jaw, 2 for the upper lips, 2 for the bottom lips, 2 for the smiles, and 4 for the brows (however, you can't tell in the test, because I used the brow to make it look like it was blinking, it has a lot more expression than that) Thanks for your comment!

[KesslerProductions]

this is pretty awesome how many movements did they make?
