Animatronics

Animatronics uses mechanical devices to make imaginary creatures seem life-like. It was first developed for the 1954 film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The process involves designing the creature, sculpting mini and full-size models, building an armature, costuming it, and programming movements. Various components like mechanical, electrical, and structural systems are integrated to bring the animatronic to life. While effective for movies and theme parks, animatronics also has limitations compared to digital effects.

This concept was developed for Disney studios, used in 1954 film version 20,000 leagues under the sea. First use Audio-Animatronics was for walt Disneys Enchanted Tiki Room in Disneyland,which open in June 1963 Walt and WED knew that this pneumatic system could not be sufficiently handle then Digital programming was devised. Wathel and Marc Davis developed arm lift action

WHAT IS ANIMATRONICS?
Animatronics is a type of special effect which involves mechanized creature like imaginary animals to make them alive.

How it work?
Long before digital effects appeared, animatronics was making cinematic history. An animatronic device is a mechanized puppet. it may be preprogrammed or remotely controlled. the device may only perform a limited range of movements or it may be incredibly versatile.

Evaluation
Put it on paper. Build a maquette (miniature model). Build a full-size sculpture. Create a mold (from the sculpture) and cast the body. Build the animatronic components. Put it all together. Test it and work out any bugs.
