New Here - Animatronic Under-Skeleton Question
Geoffrey
✭
Hi all -
I recently just became a member here and am relatively new to animatronics. I'm currently in the process of watching the Silicone Mask Making and Molding Part 1 by Mike Cooke and have a few questions. My main concern right now is making an under skeleton and then skin for future animatronic animal creations I will be working on. I'll either sculpt them myself with clay probably or in the beginning rely on traditional taxidermy models. Can anyone recommend what Stan Winston courses would be best for this; such as possible materials and alternatives which would be suitable for an under skeleton and skin?
Thank you all for making these courses available. I really appreciate it.

Underskulls are usually either fiberglass or vacuum formed, depending on design requirements. Our lesson series with Rick Lazzarini is a good place to start. https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/animatronic-character-creation-organic-mechanics-part-one
And Craig Caton-Largent's Animatronic Head series would also be a big help: https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/character-animatronics-how-to-build-an-animatronic-head-part-1-mechanical-underskull
