As far as I know not when power is applied to it. It powers on into a standby mode. But it can auto play after the power button is pushed. Someone asked this exact same question in a haunted group I’m a member of on Facebook a month or so ago.

I believe it plays any videos in that specific folder in a loop. I think you can loop single videos too. I usually put any videos I want to use in the root of the SD cars or USB drive is using and clear any other files off the drive or make a folder called “not used” for any videos I don’t want played and that has worked well for me on most projectors or video players like the Neumi 4K lite (my fav cheap video player/looper)

These are quite a few tutorials out there but I should probably make one for my channel as well. I prefer to use the 2” thick pink insulation foam from Home Depot and then I cut it with a hot knife tool I bought on Amazon. For engraving the names on them you can use the hot knife, a dremel tool, or get fancy and use a laser cutter or CNC router. Then a heat gun to add texture, base coat of black paint (avoid spray paint as it tends to eat/melt the foam) and then another layer of gray paint, texturing paints, glue floral moss, or whatever other details you want and you’re done! Oh and don’t forget to drill a hole in the bottom, then insert PVC in the hole so you can put rebar in the ground and slide your tombstone onto that. I have a video about that part here on my channel. Hope that helps!

thank you@@digitaldecorstore7268

For sure! As long as they don’t slip. I’ve seen people use duct tape as well and that seems to work pretty good.

I believe it is 1/2” PVC. That’s what most of these motors come with for the attachment. It’s also what I use for most props since it’s fairly cheap and also is the exact size to fit inside of pool noodles for other types of props.

The motors come with a plug that has a power switch on it so I just used that.

@@digitaldecorstore7268 do you think it will lift a pallet if I use a couple motors? To make it look like it's breathing?

You would need a WAY stronger motor like a wiper motor or something else with high torque. These little synchronous motors are for very light weight projects.

Thanks! This video must have hit some recommendations in the algorithm or must be a tik tok about breathing grave props because I’ve been getting a lot more views here.

Glad you liked it!

I found the black plastic covered it up really well and haven’t had any issues with rain or snow. But without the black plastic would for sure need some sort of waterproofing.

They've changed some things in Character animator and by default it puts you in "Starter" mode. In the top right corner of the window you will see the word "STARTER" in all caps. Click the icon next to that and it will have a dropdown that says "Which mode you you like to use?" With a button to "Stay in starter" and one that should be blue and says "Use Pro" Switch over to Pro and that should give you all the keyboard triggers (along with a lot of other controls). I'm not sure why Adobe chose to disable the keyboard triggers in starter mode, but apparently that's what they did. Let me know if this fixes the issue and if not I'll be happy to keep helping until we come up with a solution for you.

Glad you found it and subbed! Just a small channel trying to do some fun projects for cheap. I have probably 20 more videos I recorded over a year ago but haven’t been able to edit and post them. Got diagnosed with a pretty nasty stage 4 stomach cancer September of last year and just now am finally feeling like I might be able to get them edited. So hopefully I can deliver some new videos soon!

@@digitaldecorstore7268 I am sorry to hear your health woes, I'll think good thoughts in your direction and look forward to more wonderful videos. Above everything else, feel better.

You're welcome!

Great question! The motors come with a power cable that you can easily attach. Has an on/off switch built in. The trick with doing it inside the cabinet is that you need to have an outlet in your cabinet (like often is the case in a kitchen above a microwave) OR make a hole so you can get a power cable out of the cabinet. Since these were garage cabinets I just drilled a hole in the back corner that I could drop the power cable down through. Hope that helps!

I bought mine on ebay by looking up “green line laser module” or “red line laser module”. The green color works best. They were around $40 each. Not all lasers are equal though. I bought one that was supposedly rated the same power as my others and it is probably 10% as bright. www.ebay.com/itm/404212630299?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ejfbbmnlq4i&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY That area of my haunt was actually pretty cool but didn’t show up on camera well at all! It was a laser swamp on the ground with spider webs all over the walls and ceiling and wrapped up bodies hanging as well as a few other animated props mixed in with scare actors. In the video it was so over filled with fog you couldn’t see anything on camera. Tried to do an outdoor laser swamp and it kind of worked but any breeze made it difficult. Best to do indoor and then figure out the balance on how much fog should be in the room. Hope that helps!

Have fun!

Yeah they often change their inventory. Sometimes they will replace things with similar products that look different but basically have the same functionality. I actually later saw these exact speakers rebranded at a different store selling for like $25-$30.

Here’s a similar product that looks like it does the same thing plus is somewhat water resistant. www.fivebelow.com/products/blaster-bluetooth-ipx4-splashproof-speaker_2

There’s also this one that looks like the extract product I have in this video but in a different shape: www.fivebelow.com/products/top-handle-on-the-go-portable-speaker-w-bluetooth-fm-radio-mic-led-lights

You should!

How’d it turn out?

I usually do 8 inches sometimes more depending on how large the tombstone is.

The specific motor I’m using in the video runs on AC power so you’d have to do some power conversion to get it to run on DC batter power. Probably be better off trying to find an equivalent DC motor instead so you don’t have to do any power converting.

I think the total length of the arms is about 6ft including the forearm section. I'm using a lighter weight PVC rather than the thick stuff so it's not as heavy to fly around, but you're right it does tend to bend/flex. I actually prefer the flex because it makes the movement more smooth and gives it a bit more of a bouncy floating effect vs completely rigid control sticks.

great idea!

Haha I totally relate. That’s how I felt when I saw the one that inspired this build. It’s also surprisingly simple to build but has such a great effect.
