Thread: I got my own Hauntcast segment!

Tweet

DJChrisbaker from Hauntcast told me the Prop Guys from the Garage of Evil are no longer doing the Letters to the Garage prop segment for Hauntcast...which still bums me out because I thought they were great and I will miss hearing them do their funny yet informative segment.

He then asked me to step in. I submitted my first segment and he approved it so I will now be doing a segment called "Ask the Dr." which fills the gap about prop building that Steve-o and Geoff left after leaving. I don't know why they left, so please don't ask me. I'll leave it to them to explain if they so desire.

Now I need your great questions for future segments, so we can keep the prop building segment alive on Hauntcast. My segment is different, I'm not the Garage guys, they left very large shoes to fill so I won't even try to emulate their style, but I still require questions from all of you to make this work. Ask away!

Congrats, Doc! I know you'll do well with this - you're definitely a "thinking-out-of-the-box" prop builder!

Here's a link explaining the Prop Guy's departure from the show. Seems they have job commitments that takes all thier time away from putting a segment together.

Mad Props to Steve-O and Geoff! - Garage of Evil!!

Very exciting and congratulations! Your props are top-quality and I can't wait to hear your tips and how-to's.

Ooh! This should be exciting! Congratulations.
Now to think up some good questions to ask the Dr.

(applauding....) Congrats!!!!

My Congratulations, Doc.
I've always been impressed with your ingenuity with animated props.

Steve O and Geoff will be a hard act to follow no doubt, but I think DJChris has made a great choice for their successor.

Wishing you every success, and looking forward to hearing you on the show.

Congratulations, Dr. !! That sounds great to me, with your expertise and also the fact you are a forum member just like us!
Is your first segment going to be on the December show?
I've got good question for you. I'll PM it to you shortly.
(Can I have your autograph?)

Yes, I'll be on the December show coming up. Since it was on VERY short notice, I only was able to take two questions I see on the boards that come up regularly, so it's fairly short, only 7.5 mins long.

Actually, I want YOUR autograph..I'm a huge fan of yours!

Thanks everyone for the encouragements. It means alot to me.

You guys don't have to PM me, just post them here, it'll be easier to have them all in one place.

Thanks again!

Oooh, oooh! <raises hand> I've got a question!

Okay, I had 5 pneumatic props (with lights, powered speakers and the solenoids) this year and so I had a mess of electrical cords all over the garage. Is there a more streamlined way to run electricity to the props? Like using a different wire that comes in a spool so I can get exact length and then spice in or something? I hope I'm making sense with what I'm trying to say.
