How did the Animatronics ACTUALLY Work? (Movie Behind the Scenes) 

It’s genuinely refreshing to see practical effects in a movie after so long.

That's why there's no foxy running scenes. They cut away conveniently. It's not CGI

Interestingly this video kinda made me realise one of the reasons Afton might have made the springlock suits: Immersion We know that even the oldest suits had at least decent facial movements (arguably beyond what was being done irl at the earliest points of the timeline), well one of the problems with normal fabric suits for performers would be the lack of those movements so William needed a solution to keep the movements while still allowing actors to use the suits. Since he'd already made the movements work with the animatronics he decided to just retrofit animatronics into suits, giving birth to the springlocks. Now all of this ignores the fact he could have made a normal suit with just facial motors, but it's an interesting explanation for a very stupid idea

I’ve seen a lot of theories for why Afton decided to go for the springlock suits, but have we considered: Afton loves murder. It’s entirely possible he enjoyed when the locks would fail and skewer some hapless employee.

9:28 There's an endoskeleton that goes inside one of the FNaF characters in the background! You can recognize it by its ball joints and structure.

In the novel _Five Nights at Freddy's: the Silver Eyes_ (and the comic book adaptation) there's a scene where William Afton operates a control panel filled with buttons which each perform a tiny individual movement for one animatronic, and uses it to make them dance to impress a group of teenagers-keep in mind he was pretending to be a harmless night watchman named Dave in this instance-which indicates that the in-universe characters probably operate closer to the puppets made by Jim Henson's Creature Shop than they do to actual animatronics like you'd see at Chuck E. Cheese.

Something tells me that one day this intro will be one of the most famous ones theres just something about it that captures the nostalgic feeling of old intros like the game theory one

i know they designed those suits to actually be safe for whoever is wearing them, but based on the games this movie is about i still would not want to be inside one of those

really nice video, this is what i searched for!! I was really wondering how they made that work, especially with Foxy. Thanks :D

You know I find it ironic that the jim Henson company made the animatronics in the movie because originally when the game first came out I thought it was a robotic version of the muppets and that freddy was fozzie bear they look uncannily similar

I honestly love that matpat intoduced me to this channel

I just saw Dawko's behind the scenes video of the on-set meet and greet with the animatronics, and the "face" Freddy appears to either start walking or take one large step. I was hoping you would know if any info had come out about their capabilities on that level. Foxy is shown on a crane rig, but for the meet and greet the 3 were not obviously craned or otherwise secondarily supported. They do show the stunt suits in the video too, so I'm sure they're not walking around great by any means. But even some advancement on that front would be super interesting. Upon further review, the 3 suitable animatronics are the suit versions. The extent of the puppet head's capabilities is very impressive though, and the in-suit actors and puppeteers do a great job of making it look really incredibly seamless and maintaining a proper 'stance' outside of movements. I was lead astray by a shot from the back that I didn't realize was actually a different time they were filming where they clearly are the not-able-to-be-human shoulder joints/endo bits. What I get for clicking through his video instead of just knuckling down and pretending to have an attention span, lol. Yours I watched and enjoyed, so props to the chef c:

you should make a video on how to survive the torture mask

Imagine if they create a fnaf pizzeria that is normal lol.

Fun fact: the pic used for the puppets is actually the suit, look at the waist proportions of Freddy

What I find funny with his comments about springlock suits is that even in-universe not only was it an dumb idea, but some people also said it was stupid like movie Vanessa

counterpoint on your vindication rant about the springlock suits if they're supposed to be a cost-cutting measure, then arguing that the expensive premium workshop who built many custom models for different scenes didnt do the cheap but unsafe cost cutting measure is quite goofy (not saying they make much irl sense regardless, just that it's not an argument you can make)

I'm so glad i found this channel, its so fun!

Nice black void at the end

tysm for explaining it so well i was so confused on how it works

bro i just came across ur channel and i genuinely love how you make your videos, subscribing for sure my dude. keep it up!

Very good video answered all the questions i had after watching the movie definitely worth that sub 👍

Thank you for this! I thought this question would never be answered. love the video - new sub

The Reason Why Foxy Was Hard To Control Is Because The Foxy Was To Thin And The Thing on his back is a puppet rig to help him walk because no one cant be in foxy,btw

Yay, a new video!

The movie spring trap suit had a rib cage that was held open by spring locks. What up with that?

13:52 at least hey don't have corpses in them tho

Great video!

the movie its out

I’d love to see a video on your thoughts on how the Torture Freddy device worked, both in the film on set and in universe! ( )__( ) 🔴 🔴 ⚙️⚙️⚙️⚙️ ⚙️⚙️⚙️

I do not think cupcake in fnaf movie is not CGI.

If they didn't reveal who's operate those animatronics in movie, that would be cap. I know everything

What have we learned from this? Never give a crazy dumb person from the 80’s this advanced of technology

Now that the movie is out can you update the puppet episode?

Thisiswhatihavetosee

didn't you constantly yap that they were CGI or was that someone else

the movie was great

Hey can you continue ur escaping fnaf series with other games

Wait ... Those were REAL!?

Did anyone else see a rainbow trail around the Subscribe button when he was asking for subs?

who is this green haired man on my screen

No people were in that suit.not like that

What were they thinking making the animatronics irl that was an awful idea. I swear if people start going missing I'm gonna lose it

2nd

ngl my heart got crushed a bit when i learned that they werent 100% animatronics at all times 🥲
