How do you puppet a Sentinel sphere, were do you put the wire on the sphere, what wire do you use, how do yo waite it, & how do you film it?I don't know if this is how it works, ruff guess. (Pleas Help Me On This) I'm doing a video with my brother being the sentinel.

What would be better for the fork blade sentinel to pop out the blades? Hobby motor driven actuator or a set of springs , trigger & pull reset wire?As for the drill bit, I wanted to make it out of a plastic siren whistle & toy drill bit. Anyone have any guesses on how to attach the drill bit & whistle? Anyway, I wanted to make it that way so I can put air threw it, then switch it to fake blood to squirt out of the bit.The wiring diagram with the battery ,switches & motor. I don't know how to make a cut of switch for the motor for ejecting & retracting the blades.

What's the perfect diameter for the chrome ball? Does it vary from movie to movie?
