Billy The Animatronic Dummy
Based on the haunted ventriloquist dummy from "Dead Silence” (Wan 2007), Billy is a fully functional puppet as well as animatronic. Programmed for the more subtle approach, Billy’s eyes move at timed intervals which make you double check whether you’re going mad or you’re actually seeing a puppet move on its own!
My favourite picture of Billy. Quality picture taken at the end of the project
Chilling out!
The sculpt of his head right before the casting process
Excuse the mess of these last two photos but its worth putting in to show what the animatronic looks like.
6 sevos motors run through a breadboard into an Ardino. The eyes are controllable from the joystick on the back with full 180 degree field of view and blinking.
