Rock-afire Restoration Finale Part 2 (My First Animatronic)

[@DWJ2]

If you're ever tempted to sell these over the coming years, DONT. You'll regret it later on, and they'll be nearly impossible to procure again in 10-20 years

Disagree big time Rockafire can SOLELY thank FNAF as the reason its resurgence into popularity The Franchise was HUGE but slowly and surely its died out alongside the mascot horror and anamatronic gimmick I'd wait till the FNAF movie drops THEN SELL IT!!!! FNAF movie is THE Cash out on the franchise. ZERO games or content worth anyones time comes after this it faces the same fate call of duty does - Becoming a soulless cash grab

These types of videos inspire me to learn about the electronics behind the characters, their history and their design, as well as to produce my works better! It is a pleasure to see that in the middle of 2023 there are people doing this type of work! all the best!

[@jjj123m]

Holy crap lois it’s the animation guy

Really impressed with your story. Nice to hear you had a pleasant experience with AF. Unfortunately not everyone has.

We still have a Showbiz Pizza, currently a furniture store but there used to be SBP signage in the parking lot until a couple of years ago. There's still the bones of old band setups (Tweetsie Railroad) here and there. R-A-F fans know the feeling.

[@headsdownharry]

Really

[@warrenkec374]

what location?

[@GreenScienceBoy]

I really enjoy storytelling like this! It’s cool to hear about the funtown mountain characters again. I remember seeing those on the Carpetbagger and your channel way back when. Which contributed to my interest in Aaron’s work!

[@codyryan9789]

yo I didn't know you watched his channel too

[@Kano-12309-s]

Bro has the biggest bravery for having that in the house

[@Fruity-Pebbles]

Bro plays FNAF 4 irl

[@HobGobbity]

I would be so incredibly happy to have the opportunity of owning one of these.

[@GeekyLuigi]

…I’ve followed Rockafire stuff for like 7 years now, and had no idea you were the guy on Tested until right now… crazy stuff dude.

[@carcinogeneticst]

I was honestly really shocked when i seen how young you were, even with the help of your dad being able to manage a whole ass animatronic is crazy

[@monsterwaill]

Seeing your interview from Norm was actually my first introduction to the Rockafire Explosion and I was hooked straight away, playing five nights at freddy's and now seeing real life animatronic performers amazed my 12 yo brain and from then on I was constantly looking at old motors and electric robots to rip apart and reuse to make my own version of billy bob. Although I failed horribly it was extremely fun! I just wanted to let you know that if it wasn't for you I would never have found out about these guys as soon as I did, so thank you so much for your hard work!

[@FlooferLand]

omg hi Waill lmao

[@sethhorst6158]

The Maker fair video with your Mitzi and Billy Bob was one of the things that got me into the Rock Afire Explosion.

[@animatronicsproductions1993]

Same here!

[@SugarPopLauren]

Same!

[@iownu92]

Was interesting to watch this unfold over the years. I remember in the interview you were originally intending to re-skin Mitzi into your own character.

[@BeachKai]

Couldn't agree with your two videos more, Jack! Pretty much the same way I got hooked on the Rock-afire, albeit a bit later than I wanted lol. Wish I got into it around the time you did, because there's so much cool stuff I missed. But better late than never! The band is such a charm and it's so cool to see these guys get restored by someone with such a passion for it. Keep up the great work, and thanks for your help on everything thus far!

[@noahmedrano631]

This is really cool

[@MaxwellBradshaw]

Incredible dedication, man. Thank you for sharing these awesome behind the scenes!!

[@rayraytv]

Fantastic story. Appreciate your passion!

[@Jumpboots_Jamstrang]

I admire the drive to make it happen. Great work!

[@LyricNear]

seeing you at Maker Faire in 2017 & 2019 is what got me into animatronics! I remember anytime I had a free moment I found myself drifting back to the exhibit just to watch them in awe. it was the first time i'd seen any that close

[@ViewpointProd]

An absolutely incredible story, amazing work

[@stell-Caaster]

Hell yea, you even got a photo with idubbbz

[@1x3x23]

5:10 i've seen that interview long ago and i never knew that was you until now

[@Ryemoon062]

Really cool to hear how you started and improved over the years! ive been getting into animatronics for a while now and hopefully i can find or build a PTT cyber in the future

[@co_rust]

omg i didnt know that was you from the maker fair! omg ive been wondering who that was!

[@nickcolman3599]

Its nice that youve got this show coming together since Aarons show unfortunately isn't around anymore. It's cool that you got to see Aaron twice there before he had to move. Went there myself in late 2021 and was one of the final tours through. Also didn't realize you were the kid on Tested. That's so awesome. Also neat that you met idubbbz.

[@QuangGoodman]

Damnn, the reboot looking fire ngl 💀

[@onegrumpyboi2914]

3:37 man out of all the damn things you can use reaper for i never expected this lmao also dude the photos that have animatronics in the background in the dark... i would shit myself if i saw that in person lmao

[@Clown_the_Clown]

This ia astoundingly, glad to see these animatronics getting some appreciation!

[@smoothkebab]

Bro you got balls of steel to do that I would be scared AF

[@notdalaz]

the animatronic characters do get a bit quirky at night.

[@RejectDaleri]

I always wondered what happened to the Funtown characters. Theyre the only reason I ever knew these existed

[@Cheesetendo]

I dont care how far i would have to drive or fly, if you opened a classic style pizzeria with your animatronics on display i would visit.

[@carolineestrada1242]

Wow cool story! Great job! Amazing!

[@topo8444]

Amazing what you were able to accomplish at the time!

[@hardluckbearsfan8566]

so cool to see how much you did over the years, can't wait for what the future holds for you!

[@birdieaddictedtodumplings]

the random idubbbz jumpscare made me laugh so hard

[@mr.funnyguy1164]

6:20 is that Idubbbz?! If so didn't expect to see him in this video lol

[@Techno-Universal]

4:09 That TOPO robot also appeared in a number of music videos and TV shows throughout the 1980s which was especially true for the show Discoring! :)

[@VOlDNOVA]

ooooh... THOSE ANIMATRONICS ARE CUTE!!! Though I hope you can take care of all of them, because they're all so precious...

Lucky I also love animatronic but do you have a loony bird?? Also the moon and the sun animatronic

[@zyadelmarwany4566]

Its crazy to see inspired people got so excited to learn engineering to build an animatronic, keep up

[@iwakuralain1459]

This is dope but as much as I love animatronics, I don't think I could keep them at home 😂

[@Joyce_TheWriter]

Eu sempre quis trabalhar com animatrônicos, me apaixonei por eles desde que comecei a ver como os usavam em filmes de terror antigos, principalmente no Enigma de Outro Mundo e Child's Play. Por um tempo achei que o CGI fosse varrer o futuro dos animatrônicos no cinema, mas ver pessoas ainda amando essa tecnologia, tentando restaurar e impulsionar o conhecimento sobre eles me faz novamente esperançar um dia trabalhar com isso. Penso se um dia conseguirei.

[@kelvindasilvanascimento6577]

Já jogou fnaf? Kkkkk vim por causa desses jogos, e é realmente incrível ver animatronics reais, ainda mais se ainda estiverem funcionando.

[@Joyce_TheWriter]

[@goldfishbelike]

2:54 no more sleep for me.. the animatronic in the BACK

[@reesearmstrong912]

I really wish I could buy one of those things. It’s just that they’re so expensive once on I actually found a beach bear animatronic for sale on eBay, which someone already bought it now. but it was really expensive. Also, if I did find any of these characters, I would probably retrofit them with the characters I’m trying to make because it would be cool.

[@7cov]

I wish to have one of the Rock-afire Explosion characters one day...

Hey do you have any tips about where to find rockafire animatronics I’ve been trying to get my hands on one of them for abt a week and I haven’t been able to find many of them

[@griffinthefootballplayer23stro]

can you give us an update on the show

You know, I feel just a bit like uncomfortable if I was near one of those things

[@rhodered]

gah damn mitsy leave some cake for the rest of us

[@random_an0n]

fnaf basically revived these old things for a young audience.

[@luigiisgreen]

I was wondering what ever happened to Billy Bob after seeing him iin urban explorer videos. I also seen the tested videos, as well as the fair stuff. I felt like that Leonardo DiCaprio meme where he whistle and points at the tv lol

[@DustBoyFN]

what was the name of the tested video?

[@paulgrimes5273]

👏👏👏

[@anthonystigs1992]

for the rest of the characters you could hunt down some abandoned chuckie cheese animatronics since they used the same animatronic skeleton

[@fizz9782]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO (PLEASE DONT SEND THE ANIMATRONICS TO MY HOUSE)

[@foodeater3]

This man is so lucky

[@AnimatronicMaker]

Hey jack, i dont know if you will reply but if you can. Can you measure how long the aluminium bars for mitzis legs are and how long the two body bars are?

[@xadmx246onroblox]

Now i know how billy bob's left hand moves left to right even when there is no cylinders in the arm its just the hand attached to a cylinder on the guitar and the arm is a floppy arm filled with cotton/fur thats how and also its the cool part that the head uses one cylinder to tilt right to left it should be the same with every animatronic

[@tryfkanel9428]

Bruh the animatronic from behind scared the crap out of me 2:54
