Default $20 Animated Ground Breaker

I used a dummy security camera to move the head! =P

Since the camera requires light, I have to use a strobe light next to it on low speed in order to move the head.

Great job!! I'm working on a mechanism similar to that to turn my talking Boris' head from side to side.
Your groundbreaker looks really good!

great idea , using the stob light. How id you attach the camera to the skull/body? I have one of those fake security camera, didn't so much with it last year, so am interested in how you did this!

Great job!

I have 5 of those fake cameras and have no clue what to do with them. I would like to know how you built the body.

djkeebz,
You can find the cameras here.

All i did was -

Buy a hoodie, put ripped cloth on it. Then , for the stuffing all I did was - it was just a cardboard box. The box supported the camera stable. Just attatch the skull then viola. I concealed the camera so only the tiny black dot (motion sensor) is showing.
