We recreated the Ghostbusters zombie taxi driver for Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights 2019.
We sculpted the character around an animatronic skull, molded, cast and painted the skin before dressing it onto a body form and installing in the cab. We also programed the animation for the character via standalone show controller.
Custom made animated skull, head can tilt up/down, left/right, and the jaw can open and close. Animation was on a loop that could be triggered.
Shadow box also made and painted in-house. Box was lined with small led pin-spots to illuminate the small frames inside the altar.
Contracted for scenic construction, special effects, and specialty props for Delusion: The Blue Blade.
We built out a +10,000sq/ft theater space in West LA into multiple scenes/locations, including a large cave system made from carved foam and an Aztec Temple.
The space had numerous pneumatic and electronic effects and custom props with integrated electronics.
We were responsible for the set dressing and props for the seasonal event: Aftermath, Chaos Rising 2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The maze was set outside in a 20,000 square foot space. The space box was designed and fabricated in house. It is made of clear acrylic of various depths. It was painted and aged with antique brass paint.

With the main construction by (LA Fabricators), we provided most of the guest inputs (button, switches, knobs, ect.) for the 2015 Target Wonderland pop up store in NYC and the associated electro-mechanical elements that tied them into the show control system.
A run of light saber stands for Disney theme parks in California and Florida. The base is made from laminated mdf and frosted acrylic with color changing leds. The displayed lightsaber is sold by Disney and normally battery-powered. We wired it so it can be plugged into the wall power, and added a motion sensor in a machined ring between the base and the light saber. The motion sensor triggers the on-off switch for a set duration to incorporate guest interaction.
