Thread: What do you think about my Flying Crank Ghost?

Tweet

I just finished my first Flying Crank Ghost, Its the 2nd prop I've ever made. Im going to try and slow down her fall with a counter weight or something.
What do you think about it?

Give me some tips to improve it!

Looks great! Very well done.

I really wish I had one of these. They always look so cool. The cheesecloth draping on the bottom looks great! My only ideas...and I have zero mechanical ability...maybe slow it down if possible and the cheesecloth around the head kinda makes it look like Barbie hair. I don't know if you're putting this in a window or what, bit you could black out around the eyes a bit or just drape more cheesecloth over the head to hang past the shoulders a bit. Again...I'm jealous you even made one!

I updated with 2 new videos, 1 day and 1 night shot.

Its not perfect yet, Im still tweaking it lol

I actually made mine go faster like she's frantic. Just in the interest of being a little different. I like yours, it looks great!!!

I think it looks great.
The movement looks better in the updated video.

For my FCG I put a small fan on the floor in front pointing up to make the ghost move more. I also 'tattered' the fabric hanging on the arms and torso so the wind from the fan made it appear she was flying.
