How to make the Nightmare Before Christmas Well / Fountain 

Thanks and LOL :D

It should never end!!! :D Our Fink in the video is actually a wearable costume. The outfit is sitting on a mannequin

@@williamgreen4226 we are nearly finished with our finklestien, the sculpture turned out so much better than previous year’s because at 50 I finally discovered plaster, and evp, foam and formable plastics. Sweeet. Your work is really nice, clean builds, and your ability to translate the style, and the whole flow of the scenery. I kinda cursed out loud when I saw it, not gonna lie heheh.. I felt like my minds eye had been hacked for a second, and it was suuper solid..great layout, and the props....dude..thats what separates 98% of the displays from selling the scene. Your Set is free of unnecessary rigging and the construction is so hidden. The rendering of the character models is pretty on too,my sculpt is close but his neckIine was cheated so he could swivel his head and provide a little organic quality to him . Have a Happy Halloween

@@kevint.5381 Thanks so much for the kind words! I mostly do it to spend time with the kiddies lol. It's great fun.

We've thought about that too. I just haven't had good luck with fog machines lol. It would probably work great here. Thanks!

We use both flood and directional lights depending on what we’re trying to put focus on. Lighting is important. The spots we wanted to highlight on the beast were the vomit and facial features. Everything else we just used up lights on. The face was done with black light reflective paint and the puke is neon green spray paint

No. The paint is enough to protect it. One thing I did add after the fact and I highly recommend it, tie down the arms of the creature at the elbows and attach it to the well down below. It will prevent swaying in the wind. Just a little (dark colored) string is all that's needed.
