How do you make skulls that talk, eyes that blink and

other mechanisms? This video shows you how to make

mechanical elements including jaw movements, eyebrows,

eyelids and eyeblinks. Covers basic tools and materials

and where to get them. Walks you step by step through many

devices you can make from things purchased at any hardware

store. Mr. Kalman demonstrates a talking ape head and

talking skull. This is very clever and simple animation

for make-up and puppetry. Not to be confused with

amusement park type animation. Doesn't cover mask-making

and skin attachments, which will be covered in future

videos.
