If you guys do start doing animatronics, got an idea for you. Weeping Angel on a rotating base. Put a motion sensor in it with a 3 second delay. People walk past it, it slowly rotates towards them. If it's an animatronic, have it pull its arms down from its face as it rotates. They walk past it on the way out and the senor triggers again to put it back to default for the next group.

Thanks so much for coming by the Distortions booth Wicked Makers, we enjoyed the conversations. Great job on this Best of Transworld videos! Looks like you had a wonderful time and wishing you all the best on your upcoming projects and video. Hello from all of us at Distortions.
-
Thanks for watching! There are some other creators who did even longer Transworld walkthroughs if you want to see more stuff from the show. Stay Wicked! 🤘💀

Here in Brazil we don't have this huge Halloween culture, so seeing you guys showing all these new and cool things is super amazing. I would love to see more details of the creative process of these artists, like the one that produces the masks in a more artisanal way and those that make those realistic people.
-
This was really fun! So glad you were able to check it out and thanks for taking us along. Can’t wait to see what you’re inspired to do next!!
-
i'm 54 and the halloween paraphenelia they have available now is just unbelievable. even the cheapo props at rite aid are far beyond what was available when i was a kid.

I work at a sign shop where we make large durable HDU foam letters. We use multiple coats of Drylock to make them ultra durable. They roll it on instead of brushing to get even coats, and they do like 4-5 coats for maximum durability. This is how you make foam props that people can crawl on.

Oh man, I loved watching this. I got so inspired just seeing it- and now I kind of want to make my own mask! I do want to point out that the werewolf puppet is a rig that's been functional over the years at many top-tier Halloween attractions, such as Halloween Horror Nights. I'm so happy it got a spotlight here, it's such an awesome scare!
-
I loved meeting y’all there at Transworld!! I’m so glad to see y’all had a great time and enjoyed a lot of the stuff there! Can’t wait to see what ideas y’all have gotten from there because I’ve sure gotten a lot more thank last year!! Again so nice to meet y’all and stay safe!!
-
I can't until one day your work is presented there. Seeing you build one from scratch would be insane. I'd watch the heck out of that series.
-
Thanks for showing our booth! Our DIY Mechanisms are made exactly for the “Maker” in mind! 🧟♂️
-
Omgggg transworldddd hope y’all had an amazing time!!! Stay wicked everyone!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
-
Oh my gosh! At 3:31 I was like…”gosh that guy looks super familiar” and then it hit me like a ton of bricks, he was a contestant on a body painting show I used to watch years ago. Glad to see he’s still doing it! 😂
-
Thank y’all for the flashing lights warning ! Us epileptics appreciate it
-
it’s so crazy how much a flashing light can help the motion look more realistic!! such a cool place, although i think i’m a little too high anxiety to ever actually attend so this is a great vid to experience it through haha!
-
I have to add that Morris Costumes has the best customer service. I had an animatronic that was long discontinued and it broke. There were no more replacements so they basically sent me two old armatures to scavenge parts from. I was able to fix my prop with gears from both.
-
I would LOVE to go to transworld...Sadly we don't really have much in the UK that's similar and if we do its probably miles from me! These kinds of things are so amazing to me, Id love to learn how to create things in such magnificent detail as these. The artistry is gorgeous, the animatronics are so Fluid and spooky, I love it! Thank you for showing these!
-
TIL there's a convention for my wife and I to attend next year. Thanks for the exposure!
-
Ok, first; that fog-gun would be PERFECT for a Mr. Freeze costume!! =D #2, and did I spot a Cthulhu...?! #3, YES!!! Do Master Splinter!! : D #4, and once again, shout-out to Distortions Unltd. !! I still love 'Making Monsters'! =)
