Thread: Some of my new props for 2010

Tweet

I have finally gotten around to posting a short video on you tube of some of my new props. The link is
YouTube - Skeleton Halloween
enjoy!

Love it!!!
I am doing a pirate theme this year where did you get the audio?
And how did you get the fog to come out of the cannon?
Great job!

The head was a Scary Terry skull which I attached to a $12 plastic skeleton.
The cannon was made from black PVC pipe plus a frame made from scrap 2x4. I hid a fog generator under the cannon barrel and piped it through the barrel.
The audio was done in two parts - Dead men tell no tales and Crossfire by Nox Arcana. I ran them through Audacity (audio adjuster) to bring out the vocals and put them only on the right channel (which fed the Scary Terrry skull).
The left half had the cannon salutes from Crossfire (again, suppressing the background music). This was recorded on the left channel which fed to the low filter side of a 3-channel colour organ to drive the red light in the end of the cannon.
Does that give you enough info?

That's awesome! Great job

If I were single that would be in my front room next to a tikibar. Awesome!

I have the scary terry skull and plan on using him next year as my helmsman.
I will have to look up that audio-thanks!!!

I found the two audio tracks on
YouTube - Nox Arcana. Phantoms Of The High Seas 1 - Dead Men Tell No Tales

Thanks for the link to the full audio. Pirates 2011 unite!

Sweet! Pirate Skeletons are always a Halloween favorite! Great props!

That is awesome! Nice work, my friend!
