BREATHING MECHANISM 1 LOOPED

m_) FANTASTIC!!!!

A really nice way to make the sides move in and out, which you would need for a dinosaur or most quadrupeds. Great design!

I saw many approaches at this theme. But this tactic is a concept that can easily be expanded and developed further. I mean, it is already brilliant, with "further" I just meant for more complex stuff like a 25inch moster bust that slightly breaths... Sweet something od somewhere. When the Dreaded McTodd of old London town rides, then you better bring in the cows and send wife and kids up into the mountains. Great stuff. Really great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for your comments! The other video, taken from a different angle, shows better how it's constructed.

FleaCircusDirector, the head of the screw at the bottom of the screen will be at the rear of the puppet, as I would need to cut a slit in the puppet's skin to allow access for the screwdriver needed to work the mechanism, and being in the rear will help conceal it.

Some time in the new year I'll post a video of it in the armature, which will make everything much clearer.

this is very clever and I want to make one. Thanks for sharing

I like how the ease in and out is built right into the design, the chest expands, holds it for a few frames then contracts...well done.

Ok, this one is more clear. I like the rubber band!

Looks fantastic! Great work!

Is this a view from the front of the character?
