The Bob Ross of Haunters - we dont make mistakes, just happy little skeleton parts. As always, you never cease to amaze with your ingenuity and spark the creativity of the mind! Keep it up, you are the best!
I wish people were less afraid of making mistakes… preventing them from even starting. I love how you reiterate “finished is better than perfect!” Mistakes and failures help us learn, much more thoroughly than straining for perfection.
"Never be afraid to fix a mistake just because you took a long time making it." 😆🤣😆. THANK YOU for posting your videos! I love watching the creation of spooky props and your techniques are fun to watch from a creative process. I love that you include the mistakes - it makes it feel like a more realistic process (As well as add humor during the editing process)
You mentioned you can use great stuff in the same way. I tried to save a buck, and regret it. Great stuff doesn't get a skin on it in the same way. I got very sticky. In the end I made it work. Thanks for sharing your talent.
I LOVE THIS!....THE IDEA, THE EXECUTION AND THE MISTAKES!...Showing the mistakes that we as newbies are bound to make, as well as the "fixes", is so reassuring. It takes the stress out of trying something new, at least for me. I know that things can be adjusted and fixed to get an acceptable result! Plus being on a budget for my current project, even 30.00 for a cheap skelly can add up... This is BRILLIANT!!
Many years ago, I found your video on corpsing a skeleton, it was a blast to do then and it has lasted for years. My human pelts finally had to be retired. I still very much enjoy all your work. Thanks for all the great ideas.
And I'm back reviewing this technique before I jump into making vined pumpkin scarecrow. I truly appreciate all you do & that it's available for everyone to learn From & get inspired.
Thank you so much for another amazing video, with so many application possibilities. I had been racking my brain trying to figure out how I can make something that looks like vines climbing up a structure. As I watched this video I realized you just gave me the answer. Thank you so much.
Your dialogue set off my Fire TV Cube with Alexa. A function I never use. It took me 10 minutes to figure it out!! You owe me one can of spray foam, for the trouble!😉
Wow! just the hand shaping was amazing, it looked menacing! I bet you could scale up this process to make your own 10ft skeleton! Would be a lot of foam and would definitely need some reinforcement but I bet it'd be even cooler than the store bought ones! Especially if it still had blood and remnants of muscle and flesh on it!
Oh man.. did I find your channel at a wonderful time. Don't know if you reply to comments in your old tutorials, but I enjoy watching your videos. I'm currently making something out of paper towels, water, newspaper, and glue. Acrylic paints and clear caulk will be applied once the forms are dried out and finished. Hopefully, Zombie Walk will happen this year. Keep making stuff! Also, I liked the Ghost Bucky on your shirt!
Thank you for the tutorials, after working in the games industry many years ago I changed career and made a business unrelated to art, but really disliked running it, I have now got back into art making and casting fine art sculptures, your tutorials are great to give artists ideas on how to build fine art sculptures and the general mentality to get things done. I love your finished is better than perfect. You are so right.
@@lt2339 There are many different types of foam to use, the ones I will look to use I am not sure if they will work outside. I know there are foams that work outside in the building trade, I purchased one once for inside a rook leak, but didn't get around to using it so not sure how hard it is, I am sure its hard enough for haunted house props though. I will look to post some of my sculptures when they are finished.
You make it look so easy. I bought some foam the other day, whoa, had all my fingers stuck with stuff! Ha Ha! I did forget about the water though. That is an important part. My hat's off to you on the work you do. I will try again and promise to not forget the spray water. Love watching you make stuff!
Art is expressed in so many ways. Your art is awesome, and never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for your videos. I feel inspired to try your methods for improving my Halloween haunted house.
Thank you for this technique. I've been able to apply it to making pumpkin vines & leaves , as well as angel wings for a 36" skeleton. The dried foam takes light carving well for details. But it Quickly dulls my knives, I just resharpen them with knife sharpening stone. It created a very fluid or natural look. I'm looking forward to finding other uses for this wonderful tool you shared. Thanks again!
Just after Halloween I utilized left over parts to make a motorized ground breaker and am in need for some skeletal/zombie hands for it. I was upset that I missed all the after Halloween sales (most seemed to have occurred a week prior instead of after this year) so I could procure some cheap body parts. However this is AMAZING. YOU are AMAZING. I've worked with foam before but not quite like this. You have some talent, thanks for sharing. I'm running out to get a can of foam now.
Just painted them up yesterday in acrylic and added a top coat in gloss mod podge and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. For $6.34 with tax for the can of foam, it was well worth it and I love making stuff. Thanks again.
Oh my gawd, I just made a hand and a spider and I can't wait to paint them tomorrow and then next week I'm gonna teach my students how to do it!!!!! I have so many ideas!
I am thinking about doing this to my back yard fence. Make the vines “blend” into old dying trees just beyond my fence that are covered in cudzo. Didnt want to use foam noodles for entire fence. Maybe rotate random props caught up in the vines. Watch it from the pool! Thanks for the technique on how to paint and make the vines. 2/3d
These would look cool attached to black shirt & pants or one of those black body suits, and if you really paid attention to the anatomy when sculpting all the bones... It would take a lot of effort but it would look badass! Would you be able to get needle and a sturdy thread through the foam to sew it on, I wonder, or would you have to just use a lot of E6000...
This is the most amazing stuff I've ever seen! I can't wait to make a skeleton forearm, stick it in the ground in front of one of those headstones with some funny saying on it.
I already had a pair of plastic store bought skeleton forearms with hands. I made a headstone out of an old flat stepping stone with rough chipped edges. The epitaph reads: Here lie Bonnie and Clyde Hand in hand in crime... and in death. May 23 1934 I stuck the pair of arms out of the ground side by side with the hands holding onto each other. Thanks for this informative video! I have a project idea requiring a dozen or so skeleton arms and hands. Possibly a few upper torso and heads as well. I'll have to subscribe and review more of your videos. Hopefully I'll find a simple skull project??
2 ?s, when that cures/hardens is it similar to pva foam in texture and squishyness? Can you use a xacto knife or another razor blade to tidy it up a bit? Thanks big guy!
Any chance you could do a DIY mannequin made out of pvc and spray foam? I saw a video about this somewhere else, but they didn't show how they made it.....only all the things they used a cheap mannequin for. Many thanks if you would do this for us! I would love to find a cheap, easy mannequin (full body) build to use for Halloween props, or to make a life sized nativity scene. And store bought mannequins are just way too expensive.
Thanks for your video. I discovered this stuff a couple of years ago, but didn't really know what you could do with it. Do you think you can cast or create a mold with it?
Could you use vegetable spray (like for cooking) instead of water to keep it from sticking? Also, I LOVE this and I'm going to teach kids how to do it!
