Mechanical Effects & Rigging



Concept, design, and fabrication capabilities are shown in these photographs. Designs become CAD drawings and are ready for the machinist.  This part went inside animatronic bats.
This is a welding jig created to make the frameworks you see assembled above. Any work that involves a short run of multiples gets a jig made.



The “World’s Largest Puppet” image is the base of a 40’ tall, animatronic figure.
Here’s some of those parts coming together. That oversized battery was welded steel with some body filler added and sanded to give a glossy finish. Any surface anomalies had to be smoothed. The gloss finish wouldn’t allow hiding of anything!



This is mechanical assembly of the parts designed and created (as seen in above photos). A large crane was utilized to finish off the top parts. This assembly system had to be used here in the USA, but also had to be repeatable in any other part of the world.

Here is the Final Product!

Guiness Book of World Records awarded our client, Duracell, with the “World’s Largest Corporate Mascot” title. Besides designing, rigging, and building this bunny; we worked with the Guinness Book to assure the final decision.
