here are a few of the props i made at shadow machine for those fuel tv commercials. this first one is a motorcycle. the production designer made the initial frame (mostly from brass tubing. it has to be sturdy for the puppet.) and i did all the fleshing out with cardboard. the wheels and handlebars actually turn!
another cycle with the initial frame built by the production designer that i covered up with cardboard. this one also has moving wheels and handlebars.
a dumpster with an animateable lid.
firehydrant with a removable top pipe. in one of the commercials the puppet smashes into it and the top pipe opens and a paper replacement series of water shoots out.
bad ass skull.
drum set with animateable cymbals.
animateable gong.
here's a fun one, it's the anal probe! lots of animateable stuff on this guy. the front mechanism rotates and has four claw-like pieces that move, there are some dials and knobs on the side that move and the whole unit is able to pivot on these three jointed arms i made (held up with the help of some armature wire). i was happy to see that the animator was able to get some good results out of all these movable pieces i incorporated.
i am not sure what to really call these. title cards? tags? either way they have the fuel tv name and logo and were placed at the end of each commercial. i made a few different variations of these.
