Today, we answer the question of what happened to CEC Stages after disappearing following what was meant to be a return. We go over a brief history of the channel, as well as what the future may hold for it... Instagram: / cecstages
I remember back when I was 8 I watched your old videos, loving them. And I understand what your going with here & I’ve lost interest into CEC but yet came back and I understand you’re point here
ye back when i was 8 i joined the cec fandom ad i remember seeing you chuck and the rest of your band in 2018 and yes i lost intrest in 2020 i did go to tallahassee fl during covid right before the bankruptsy and i filmed the animatronics i have never posted it i am now back in the fandom and will be for a little while longer
I hope one day an animatronics / figure manufacturer realises your potential and gets you on board. Your engineering skills and puppet making ability is the closest anyone DIY has got to the likeness of the originals, it’s a sought after talent, and if the right pair of eyes see your videos, you could be a very successful man one day
Why hank you so much, I cannot put it into words, this is one of the most thoughtful comments I've ever received. Hopefully companies make the right choices and animatronics continue to be relevant, I am very interested in anything creative when it comes to cosmetics and set building.
@@CECStages As long as there is reason to build and install animatronics in different venues, there will be companies about that will build them. I mean what I said in the last comment, and I’m sure there’s many others that watched your videos that can say the same. True talent, the next level is taking your current designs and figuring out how to translate them into a robust manufacturable version; you already have the know how to get the likenesses right and how to add the movement.. as much as I don’t like Garner Holt, if you read his story, he started off taking inspiration from Disney figures. His company now works for Disney creating a lot of the animatronics… Dreams can become reality, you just have to believe in yourself and be persistent. I hope we hear something about you
I remember watching you when I was about 9. You Inspired me so much that on my 10th Birthday, I went to Walmart and bought an RC Car, Ping Pong Balls, Fabric, and some other things and made my own animatronic! It didn't turn out very well. But I still had A Lot of fun with it, and the Memories are strong! I wish you the best in life dude and thanks for making my childhood a lot better.
Thank you so much! It's my honor. That is so cool, I'm very happy I reached out to you like that. This is what it's all about, being able to inspire people. Thank you for sticking by! :)
Thanks I appreciate it! It's always great to see someone who's stuck by so long, thank you for that. I'm glad you like my work, and I especially love your Chuckster Chats!
You’ve inspired a lot of people, mate. A lot of DIY bots and shows have been created probably because of you. You even got featured on mr cream o wheat man’s channel as the best homemade CEC stage. I respect you and I wish you luck in your future
Thank you so very much. With all the comments I've been getting, I've realized that the number of people I influenced was much bigger than I initially thought. It's ones like you I made the videos for and I couldn't ask for anything in return. So thank you for making that time special. I have seen that video, isn't that guy's channel great? I'm not being biased of course, but the variety in topic videos is what's gonna carry this community forward I'm telling you.
I’m going to make my own characters and I love how you do them I’m going to patrol them with sticks like a nutcracker so I’m going to have some room in the back for the control system so on my channel I’m gonna show them so I hope you like them
I always try to make stuff like you. My room is filled with fabric and I always love to watch most of your old videos to motivate me. Thank you for your creativity to give me motivation.
I know you aren’t really uploading anymore but it would be nice if you kind of made a 5 episode series talking about each of the characters you made most recently like how you made them and difficulty’s making them! It’s just a suggestion of something I think would be cool you don’t have to do it! You have been one of the most inspirational people in my whole life and you have changed my whole life and I have discovered a skill I’m good at! You should be very proud of yourself for being such an inspirational person for so many people! ❤
Wow, I really don't know what to say other than thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! It is surreal to me to see how many people I've inspired with the simple R/C car method. Not only that, but the fact that people are still letting me know all these years later! I started with nothing just like everybody else and never would have imagined my impact on the community would be so great. It's really not about me, but the people like you I've been able to inspire. Once again thank you so incredibly much for your kind words!
I wish you made more anitronics i made a chucke cheese balcouny stage anatronic so i hope you come back i will miss you alot and i loved your vids 😢 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your videos inspired me to make RC car bots years and years ago.. nowadays things have changed and I moved on to metal and cylinders but these videos definitely impacted my childhood in a good way. Thank you!
That's great I'm glad to inspire you, I keep saying this as I reply to more comments but I can't believe how many people I inspired because it's a lot more than I thought! I'm honored to impact your childhood like that, thank you for sticking around all this time and that's great about the cylinders!
I stumbled across your channel many years ago and was absolutely blown away. Your hard work and dedication are an amazing testament to what one can achieve when doing what one loves. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!
I remember watching you when I was young, And I was wondering where you were, and the day has come! Welcome Back! Also Those Early Rockstar Puppets Look So Accurate! Great Job On Those!
You are familiar, yes it really does. It feels like just yesterday I began posting videos but what is timeless to me is all of you guys who stuck around so thank you
OMG! You made a comeback! I am so glad you came back, I have been watching tour videos for years! And I still go back from time to time to look at your old videos, and to see how you have grown up, and, how far you have come! Your animatronic CEC stage shown in this video, looks SO SO REAL!! As soon as this video came out, I was building my own homemade CEC and RAE bots, and as soon as the notification came up, I put down everything that I was doing, and clicked on this! Also, if it wasn't for you, I would not have been inspired to make animatronics, or, have as much love as I do for making, and watching the Pizzacam character! Ever since I first saw your tutorial video of making a Pizzacam, I have been making Pizzacam's all over the place, lol! Thank you for years of fun, and entertainment! But why did you stop posting again? You came back for a minute, than left again. Please post more dude!!
Thank you so much! I am so glad to have inspired you to build all those characters. It is an honor to have you watch me grow up, incredible how time flies! What's more incredible is all the people like you I have inspired and have stuck around for 7 years! Words cannot express my gratitude.
I remember when I first saw you me and my dad went to many toy stores to find remote control cars and when I made the animatronics only Helens mouth actually moved and chuck e's didn't because I had no idea what I was doing lol
I reply to every comment saying this at this point, but I never knew how many people I inspired, I thought the number was so much smaller. This is touching. Thank you. It's people like you I made the content for all those years ago.
This video was very good, you were very transparent and honest, it's rare to see that from most RU-vidrs. Also, has it really been 5 years? I still remember the day you told me about your channel at school, back when it had like 30 subs or whatever lol
Thank you, I thought it was time the silence was broken because people need to hear the truth. I also remember the day we were talking about how I got 100 subscribers and the time there was a supposed CEC Stages imposter haha.
Holy heck your voice?!?! I watched you years ago, where did it all go??? I can't believe it's been over 5 years...! I remember when you posted your 100 subs special! I rediscovered this channel after watching a video ranking homemade animatronics, and saw your modern new ones. I was like "UHH EXCUSE ME?????" Even though they looked so different from the ones so many years ago I could instantly recognize your work. So I HAD to come back. I dont have my old account since I abandoned that, but it's amazing seeing where it all began for me and for you, and it's crazy to see you reuploading...I remember when you made a pizza cam tutorial. Looking back you were so friggin cute! I even made my own, but I didn't have a remote car, so I instead used a string based system to lift him up and down like he does now. Funny, huh? It's really cool to see you still around,even if it was for a video once and then a year later... Welp! Time to resubscribe! Even if you dont post again after this, I'm still gonna subscribe so i can remember a biiiig part of my childhood...you're the reason I'm so interested in making a personal real animatronic one day, or just with technology in general. Remember these good memories, and make better ones in the future! - Memin, watching since the beginning
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words! It truly blows my mind to see people still around from all those years ago, I am honored to have entertained and inspired you. It means everything to me to see people still caring like this. The fact that you recognized my show seeing it for the first time from that video means you must know my work well, I'm glad you found yourself back here. I'm glad to hear peoples stories of making their own Pizzacams or animatronics in general because of me. It's funny because I still subscribe to dead channels I used to watch too out of respect. Chase whatever dream you may have, I am thrilled to have started you on this ambition of yours. Your comment just really made my day, thank you for sticking by after all these years. Time flies doesn't it? I wish you well.
I had no idea my videos had such an impact that they made you cry, thank you from the bottom of my heart for enjoying them so much! Even when I'm inactive, I can assure you the old videos will always be here to stay!
The fabric can be bought at any fabric store or even Walmart, Walmart is also where I get the foam. It's just a mixture of foam, cardboard, and fabric I hot glue together
He quit because of the declining state of Chuck E. Cheese as well as the declining state of his locations. The last time he was heard from was 2021, so there is no doubt he's still alive of course. I miss him too! He was the greatest and my inspiration.
WHY ARE U QUITTING IM DONE I ONLY WATCHED UR VIDS ONLY BC THEY WHERE INTERESTING NVM WOW DO NOT QUIT OR ELSE.......ill slap u jk but pls don't quit.....
It's only to save everyone from another promise I would break, because I have other interests I'd like to focus on and I would probably get tired of doing CEC videos constantly which is why I need to figure out a realistic approach hence why I'm in Instagram and may make a puppet video or visit another location in the future. Thanks for caring I appreciate you.
It's because I have other interests I'd like to focus on and knowing myself, I can't do CEC so often and would likely lose motivation. But I am still on Instagram.
