FATS … making of a ventriloquist dummy

[@bcj842]

The ventriloquist's dummy really is one of the most remarkable pieces of art. Vastly underappreciated. It seems like it requires so much expertise in so many different categories: caricature sketching, carpentry, woodcarving, painting, casting, mechanics, upholstery, and God knows what all else.... It's really a lot like building a musical instrument sort of like a piano. Except rather than it being a musical instrument, it is a completely visual instrument played by a performer who uses their own voice to make it sing.

[@alexsouza9533]

I love it. The mechanics, the upper lip movement, the whole thing reminds me of the figure in that old English and a great book, "Ventriloquixm for Beginneres " by Wil Holden. I made six figures myself for fun. None of them came out nearly as great as this one. Fantastic job. Thank you for sharing this. It was delightful.

[@RicksPuppets]

What a lovely version of FATS by Chance Wolf. He is an inspiration to the rest of us makers out there. Thanks for posting this!

Could you be able to build a Slappy ventriloquist dummy from the Goosebumps Tv Show? It would be definitely one of the rarest prop replicas evere built, and I would buy it for sure.

[@DrPester847]

hey, how does the eye mech on this dummy work? I know how the simple side to side works but idk how the all around is done.

[@fatscastlesfolliesandunusu4187]

The maker has asked to keep his mechanics for the all around eye movements private so that part of the video has been left out, sorry.

[@murilog.p.1383]

I think that there is a lever that will move the eye section up and down, and that section is where the eye mech to look side to side and the blinking mech are, so it’s moving that entire section up and down, witch is why the eyelids also go down a little bit wen the eyes go up and down

[@darkforestzombie218]

I can tell you if it is still relevant

[@murilog.p.1383]

@@darkforestzombie218 please! I need to know!

[@darkforestzombie218]

@@murilog.p.1383 The eyes have sticks out the back of them onto a small board in the middle of the head. The board then has a rod with a ring on the end wich goes all the way down right down to the controls where you can then put your finger in the ring and control the eyes. I hope this helped you. If you have any more questions then feel free to ask. 😁

Beautiful piece recreated with skilled craftmanship, what a great idea for a commissioned piece. ;) I don't where the original ended up but based on other film pieces I've seen probably in bad shape. :\ First saw Magic just a year ago but never too late to see a good movie. :D Watched it again recently, it's on Tubi right now so free to watch.
