Chris Clarke Hi Res Showreel Pt1

[@leoroam2770]

+Crish Clarke - In love with this work chris, That was cool amazing, i need more!!

[@Stringer85]

Your work is amazing! I think its incredible how your mind must interpret movements, we see two eyeballs moving in sync with eyelids, you see 3 servos and a load of mechanical operations to create that movement! Which all fit inside the prop! Incredible! Is the baby dinosaurs controlled with servos? The movements are so soft and compliant; it cant be servos in there? Do you CNC the parts yourself? Thanks for the great video!!

[@kitanimboy]

God this is old stuff!! Everything on here is at least 15 years ago? I need to make a new one!!

[@petemander1]

your a master!! very inspirational video ..thanks for posting this

[@kitanimboy]

Cheers A.P. Only took a week to get to how it is on reel. Was thinking of taking it further and making a 10-12ft wngspan swan as a piece of kinetic art?

[@larry097]

Wow, really impressive guys! the baby is incredible, you really got the facial expressions spot on. I an industrial designer trying to get into the industry too, do you have any suggestions for what type of mechanisms I could put in my folio that would get the attention of potential employers? I have made a basic non-motorised hand, and a set of eyes built and powered by lego. Any other suggestions? Thanks again for the great vid!

[@FitchMonster]

I've spent some time as a puppeteer and as the head model maker for a stop-motion animation house years back. Now just freelance, too. All pretty low tech, though. How many points of control do you need to be puppeting for, say, just the baby's face? Seems like a lot, unless you've figured out a nice way to make the movements work together organically...

[@HRH23]

i go to dance classes with his mum and know a few bits he's done but i've never really seen any of it. it's amazing what he does and i'd love to be that good at something like that it's pretty cool

[@kitanimboy]

Thanks mate, nice of you to say. Most of my movie credits are on IMDB under Chris Clarke III but haven't had the time to add tv and advert credits yet... Im planning to set up a web-site very soon. CC

[@PhantomRonin]

I love the organic movement your creations.

[@kitanimboy]

I used to have Blue Monday as the backing but got a copywrite slap-on-the-wrist from Y-Tube so it's now one of the Y-Tube library tunes, I picked it whilst flicking through them, thought it was cool but not sure what it's called? I'll see if my account has the title listed.... I'll get back to you.... CC

[@kitanimboy]

Cheers man.. I'm frelance but have worked everywhere. The lip movements were puppeteered by me. I'm not bad at lip-sync.. Thanks for the nice comments. Chris..

[@FitchMonster]

Really extraordinary work. What studio(s) are you a part of? I imagine much of the lip movements must be preprogrammed, not puppeted, yes?

4:06 "No animal shall kill any other animal..." "... Without cause." "We have cause! Guilty!"

[@CatWoman111100]

Amazing work!!!! LOVE IT :)

[@rshep83]

Wow! Truly inspring work. How did you get your first gig? It seems to be a tough industry to break into...

[@eklectric]

really neat animatronics!

[@kitanimboy]

That basic mechanical block weighed about 1 Lb but was made for a shot and not to fly. It did produce alot of down force though and I would have thought I could engineer a ultra light version that may fly. May be I might get time to try that some day.. Hope you loke it.. Chris

[@kitanimboy]

Thankyou, nice comment. There were me and two others helping. me on face(radios). 1 on body(Three rod parralel linkage rig) and 1 on arms/hands (rods to wrist controling wrists, fingers etc...) Chris...

[@kitanimboy]

The baby was easy to pup. The mouth had 6 paddles, upper/lower lip, mouth corners and cheek teardrops and were controled with 1 servo working through a crank that I worked the pick-up ratios so the face went from 1 common expression to another passing through neutral. this together with the jaw made a suprising range of movement. I did this coz I only had 2.5 weeks to mechanise the whole thing and linking it all mechanicaly kept the movement very organic and smooth..

[@helipr0]

Amazing... how many people have to operate this little baby at 5min? And only with radio controllers?

[@jerrylentz]

Fantastic!!!

[@NegrOnomikalG]

chris, all of these are spectacular, but that bird, amazing y'know if it was made of carbon fibre it could probably fly!, scince it mimmicks the real flight pattern of a bird an flawlessly too, good job.

[@mad_machine4850]

Gosh where do you learn this? Its fantastic!

[@dantiri]

Hey man, I'm a big fan of your work. I just wanted to mention 1.39 and 4.31 WTF!?!?! I couldn't figure out how the hell those eye mechs work. Of course it would be a bit stupid to ask you to explain... Just curious, have you worked at Neill's recently?

[@pisces0709]

how heavy izzit?can it be made to fly like an ornithopter?;)

[@tycotrain]

What do you use for programing the animations? I can make all the mechanisms but struggle with the programing. Thanks, Ryan

[@kitanimboy]

I run nearly all my stuff on a performance system I made around high-end RC transmitters.. I actually have 2 set-ups, both similar, consisting of 2 transmitters per set-up with two controllers with 7 inputs each wired into the RC trannies bypassing the radios joysticks/switches, and just using the radios menus and programming functions.. 1 Uses Futaba FG12's, the other SPECTRUM 16 ch.. With Futaba radios, they use 5K potentiometers but only use a central band of the 5K output, so I had to wire in 10K trimmer Pots into all the + - cables so I could trim the output for full resolution.. The SPEKTRUMs however, use ALL the 5K stroke of the pots so wire straight into the boards… Hope that helps.. If you would like a picture, contact me and I can send you one somewhere..CC

[@MegaLewisj]

Awesome :)

[@dantiri]

Ok, I got the 4.31 one, but 1.39 is mind boggling.

[@9999bionic]

amazing amazing all 10 finger is thumb up i wish i have this type skill only i have 3d skills of this work i wish i have people know how can convert my 3d work to reality.

[@friedcesar84]

Really cool man!! do you have any job available?? :P five stars!

[@kitanimboy]

Five stars!! That's good yes? Is it out of five or ten?? :)))) Thanks for the nice comment.. CC

[@VGPeffects]

Your stuff is just amazing your animatronics are works of art. FUCK CGI

[@miaccasas]

Wow! Now THAT is creation, wanna be friends? ;)

[@kijolua7594]

2:35 mechanism fly

[@valeoli5411]

KIJO lua HELLO

[@kitanimboy]

No, it was built purely to fulfil an effects shot, but I'm certain I could build a version that would fly...

[@davewis]

Amazing Chris, You would still get a job at Alton Towers if you want it, Have sent it ( I think) to Helens son David in L A. Jean is going to give you his web site ad: Regards David

[@kitanimboy]

You already know I do :) ;) x

[@kitanimboy]

@alexandra47786 por lo que se ;) x

[@jasonloveall90]

**Sees the first one** **Dies**

[@friedcesar84]

Jejejje.. well here in Germany u would be having a really bad grade!! :P ... back at Colombia is the best you can get, and I mean the Colombian way, is so far the best animatronic work I've seen on the net (well.. toguether with Julian and mine own :P [so far no, mine was just a prototype with no budget] )... So really congrats!!!!!!!!! ***** (Out of *****) SO REALLY COOL (BTW the baby is creepyyyyy)

[@valeoli5411]
