A step by step guide to creating animatronic Nightmare Before Christmas characters: Jack, Sally, Lock, Shock, Barrel, Zero, Mayor and others.
THE CONCEPT
As I sit wandering and browsing the infinite universe of the internet looking for ideas for this years' haunt I found some easy to follow DIY instructions for animated skeletons. Being how I just adore The Nightmare Before Christmas I have decided to go with that theme and create some animatronic characters to sing and move in my Halloween / Christmas animated light show. My goal is to create several of the characters in life size scale along with a few of the movie props as well. This blog will be a documentation of this journey to reality.
