Hey, your grave popper looks great. Should give the kiddies a fright! They won't expect that witch to pounce like that.

By the way, sorry that video embedding isn't working at the moment, but I've fixed your post to just show the direct link to YouTube where everyone can watch the video.

Hahaha nice one graveyard. I can just imagine the kids and adults jumping out of their skin. Is that going to be a sign that she is hiding behind?

Great start!

I wouldn't know where to begin if I were to make such a thing. I must ask,is it a tombstone she is holding, or a sign?

It is going to be a grave stone hopefully
When making my props i don't buy anything i try to use what iv got this is made from a telescopic roof cleaning brush haha
i did have a problem at the beginning i had the pressure up to high and sent it straight through my car port roof and up about 15m high my wife was not happy :)

On alot of air pressured props most of them recommend to use 100 psi, how high is yours set. Sorry about the roof, i bet it was fun to watch though.

it was very funny this prop only needs about 30 psi i tried all the way up to 120psi iv also added a tether so it can not take off again

Nice looking prop. That witch must have had her broom and that's why she flew up so high. Are you in peterborough ontario? It's always good to see people in Southern Ontario with the Halloween spirit.

She is fantastic! I love the sound :) I can't wait to see the finished product. I have always wanted to tackle my own moving props but I am technically challenged with that sort of thing. I plan to teach myself one day though!

Thanks gus. It gets confusing living in ontario. We have so many citys that are in other countrys like london, paris, cambridge, and we used to have berlin but it was renamed kitchener.

Yes GUS is right UK
CorpseBride and CombichristGirl i have always wanted some moving props so i did a bit of reading and started. I only use what i have laying around its just a good job i never throw anything away. Today i stated my grave grabber using a car window motor and some moving rats out of a old massage chair the hardest thing is the circuits iv just finished my lightning affect and my props voices all coming together nicely ill put some more videos up soon
