UNDER YOUR BED

This one took a little thought. I wanted to re-create the face under the bed from Nightmare Before Christmas but didn't have a bed in the scene. What I did have was a "wall" that the 3 animated singing pumpkins were mounted to. Easy enough to hide the face behind a servo operated door but I wanted the "mouth" animated as well.  In the movie, both the upper and lower teeth move. This is what I came up with...

The "wall" with door open to reveal face...

close up of face made from 1/4" ply and painted with UV reactive paint.

Animating mechanism using a single servo to move upper and lower teeth...
