WHAT!!! HOW DID HE DO THIS!!!

[celtic0130]

OH MY GOD!!! PLEASE TELL ME THE SECRET OF THIS COSTUME!!!
Working Mandibles!!

 

[xdmray]

his set up has wires that are visible through the bottom jaw to the bottom mandibles, check out his other vids.

He's quite clearly pulling on cables at the back of the neck. Does look cool though.

 

[MasterAnubis]

He's not pulling cables, he's holding the mask on.

Check out his other vids.

He has a hair pin thing inside the preds mouth so when he bites on it it pushes the ends apart, thats for the teeth, for the mandibles he has rods connected for the lower ones to the lower teeth, so when he bites down it pushes the teeth apart, pushign the mandibles apart. i cant explain great but there was someone askin for help in the huntorials thing im pretty sure, and it was called "working mandibles" and i put a vid there explainging it.

one very important thing guys are forgetting about trying to apply this to a normal latex mask.. unless the latex is thin around the mouth and cheek area.. this will not work.. your mask will bunch and look ****.... so either go for silicone.. or make a foam one like this dude did...

I've seen his other video where he draws a picture, he then said he'd upload a video showing a tutorial with it actually in the mask but he never did. I don't think that you'd get the movement we see in this video from the method he describes in his earlier one. I've re-watched this one a couple of times now and i'm still convinced that he's controlling the movement with his hands in this particular video.

yeah totally agree with anubis his definitely pulling cables on the mask he holds his hands up near his head.

I've rewatched and I can see that how he holds his hand are looking like hes pulling cables. Has anyone asked him? He's predattack on The Lair. Or stoped by his site http://empirefx.weebly.com/?

What about using prosthetic foam latex? It's rigid enough to keep the fine details, but it's also flexible enough to be used with motion. But yea, I agree with you that the standard latex mask wont give the desired effect that one looks for. It basically gives the open closed movement sideways.

EDIT: They also have an animatronic grade as well, its: $25 for the quart and $84.95 for the gallon. The prosthetic is the same price for both quart and gallon.

I was seriously considering "what if" this type of latex was sent and used on a mask instead of the actual latex. For example the bsp mask Bryan has. Wouldn't that be sweet if the mandibles opened and closed like it does in the movie?! That would be epic!

 

[sidewayz]

this would be so cool to have done to my mask. Someone should do a tut on how to make this=)

 

[Darkindestod]

I can't stop watching cause he has his shirt off.

 

[yautja101]

Haha! Good old r1a2s3!!! His tutorials helped me soooooooo much! His stuff helped make my first mask!!! Yeah his other tricks include a hairclip and rods but yeah...

 

[newpred]

theres a canadian guy (i think hes canadian)on youtube who made the best animatronic pred ever the mandible movement was so naturally random instead of just open and close . Type animatronic rig test in youtube search*edit* that guy is pete mander... Im sure everyone knows him
