Thread: My 3 axis skull...in progress

Tweet

It took several days for each song, but of course, I wasn't able to spend an entire day on it, so probably 8 or 10 hours per song.

There is going to be more to the headless Horseman song. The middle guy will be holding another skull, which he will lift up at appropriate times during the song. The jaw on that extra skull is also programmed to move.

There will also be all the lighting that I have programmed through the kit74 card. It will include spotlights for all featured singers, a large 3 foot blacklight tube for the whole group, one light for the audience and a couple of general color wash lights for the whole group.

It's getting there, but there is still plenty more to do.

Dang Bob! Great job!!

absoulutely amazing!!! I was completely floored when I saw this! Cant wait to see the addition of lighting to the mix!!

awesome job ! That's just so freaking cool.

Where did you snag the nice threads?

WOW my hat off to you and bowing. I hope to be able to do that some day then I'll know Ive reached the top of my game. once again ...a...aa.. i just can't find words!WOW!

Vey nice work, Bob...I have just one TINY little detail that bugged me, and you may or may not care, but when the whole group sings "With a hip-hip hop and a clippitiy clop" more towards the last 1/4 of the song, the females jaw isn't moving, yet it can be clearly heard that she is vocalizing along with the background singers. Otherwise fantastic job, man.

Good point, Doctor. In fact, I do care, and I will fix that.

Originally I did have her jaw moving there. Then it looked to me that there wasn't time for her to be singing that line and then get back to her own lead without taking a breath. It seemed 'unnatural' to me, so I took her jaw motion out. It has bothered me a bit ever since because I do hear her voice in there, but I have shown it to a bunch of people and no one has noticed until now.

I suppose that if I have created a group of skeletons all dressed up for the prom singing songs on Halloween, I shouldn't worry about whether something looks 'unnatural' in the way one of them sings a phrase.

I will put the jaw motion back in! Thanks for bringing that up.

To answer dionicia's question about the threads........eBay! even the dress and the tophats.

Pretty good prices too, but it does all add up.

After she sings "He's a looker with a head to chop", she takes a breath, so I don't think it's a studio dub at all. It'll be better with the jaw motion added, I'm sure of it. But yea, even if you don't add it, it would look fine. I'm just a stickler for details.

Dang, I'm not going to post my finished video! lol
