Animatronic Head: Work in Progress
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2016
- This is a short collection of footage and photos taken during the build of Greg Townley's animatronic head for Edgar Wright's "THE WORLD"S END. Greg played a teenage "Blank" (Alien humanoid robots), whose head was knocked off against a urinal by Simon Pegg's character Gary King as a precursor to the big fight in the Cross Hands pub.
The build process starts with a lifecast of the performer's head which is cast out in wax clay, the eyes opened and generally cleaned up. A fibreglass mould is taken of this and a fibreglass core produced from it, which will be the basis for the mechanical understructure on which the skin will sit. Softened silicone, pigmented to the base colour of the performer's skin is poured into the mould around the core and when it has set forms the skin for the head.
The fibreglass core is then mechanised using 12 servos, 10 for the eyes and brows and 2 for the jaw and is mechanically completely self contained, with a magnetic power switch which can be operated through the silicone skin. A second "working" skin is used to test the movement, after which the "hero" skin is stuck down onto the mechanical underskull and the head goes through a period of testing and programming with the performance system.
Once programming is completed the skin is prepped for painting, seams trimmed and any bubbles in the silicone filled. The rubber is painted with a mix of oil paints and liquid silicone, using reference photos and colour swatches taken during the lifecast and acrylic teeth produced from casts of the performers own teeth to replace the test set already in the head.
Finally, the back, sides and front hairline of the hair is hand punched and a knotted wig used for the longer top section, then the eyelashes and eyebrows added to complete the cosmetic process.

This is the best anamatronic head I've ever seen!
It looks really good! I can't imagine how long it would have taken to make the head as realistic as it is...
Amazing work. I wish I had the money to commission work like this. Someday A.I., roboticists, and talented people like the ones here will come together; and society will be challenged by what results.
some day humand and robots can marry and live together
+bebebebe you are sick in the brain
OMG, animatronics are so freaky and amazing!
eyecandy. you guys do some fantastic stuff!
...but that squashed skin at 1:20 just says "kill me please" 😂

Candy Rapper LELSS
This is literally the Best comment ever 😂😂
it's The Report of the week!!!
Omg it does
2:22 i love the details so much they really payed close attention to the tiniest details makes him look more human like, just look at the lashes they’re all perfectly aligned and stick together, unlike other animatronics its messy, even the skin looks more alive i like the added imperfections to his face and some flesh elements.
My robot has got to be this realistic looking. Thanks for setting a high bar and inspiring us robot makers
Westworld is coming true
SgCy amen
Holy crap that thing is awesome! Lovely detailing, very lifelike...
FANTASTIC WORK!
This is the best thing of its kind I have seen yet.
that dosnt look like an animatronic at all this is 91% teen human thats how real it looks
That's some really amazing work. Thanks for sharing :)
I find him so strangely beautiful
Same, probably cuz he looks too humanlike, especially his soft eye movements.
Beautiful creation
That's incredible
That’s the best I’ve ever have seen. Amazing!
Me too. Nothing else I've ever seen actually could convince you. But this actually did. I really couln't tell if it was real or edited. It's basically as good as ur gonna get. Perfect!! How about u? Do u do electronics or work in latex etc???
Superb...Hyper real.
He looks damn fine
He look beautiful..
i'm always amazed by these, wish i had the materials to attempt to make one.
Future infrastructure Robotic Technology these are Animatronics!
I can't even believe there's people who are calling this fake.
omfg i LOOOVE THIS MOVIE
Me for 7 seconds: a mannequin?
Second later: oh fu*k IT BLINKED!!
The "cyborg head" looks so realistic that it would be very difficult to spot the difference with a real human. Maybe we are already surrounded by cyborgs and we are only realizing that it's possible to make them look exactly like human beings now.
Whoa this is very life like wow 😳
they gave him ZITS and BRACES.......lol ....MERICA!
at first i thought that it was vfx or cgi but after watch whole video i am shocked it's a humanoid .great .
Soo reall looks it is.
Holy shit bro.
The future is near
this is basically like Westworld
Wow
Freaking amazing.!!! What kind of servos do you use to make the eyeballs move?
If there was a robot that looked like this, it could infiltrate everywhere no one will know its not a human.
its getting really creepy man, what if the movies are really a warning.....
Just4kGaming I think they are a warning. That we shouldn't treat them any different. Or they'll kill us
They are indeed. And maybe they are already among us
Then we are doomed, because the arrival of more intelligent species means the extinction of the lesser specie
We have many less intelligent species on Earth we actually try to persevere them too. We haven't killed them off that's how it might be for us. Human zoo's or something
wow
i got a chubby froom watching this anyone else?
i would marry him...
could you marry me? I'll send my head to you in a box ;)
Wafers lol
Picarol 24 because u 👿
Picarol 24 me too
I want mine too
do you guys keep it after the movie is done being shot? :o
I would like to see a video of the robotic head talking
Movie props now, robot waifus soon.
Omg Detroit Become human😂❤
Wish they would make bride of Chucky.
I hope they find a way to automate the facial creation. Seems like long hard work. Prolonging the coming of the Androids
😱👏👏👏👏
I wanna
I really appreciate the work taken here when they could have so easily went the CG route. Any idea what the cost was of the final product?
Does ANYONE know what that servo receiver box in the back of the head is
Hey! I really love your work. At the point i want to understand and make the structure of the animatronic. Could you please link me some interestings readings that can help me building my own?can i use arduino ?
What's ur project?? Do u write code well or know circuitry??
This kid's getting ahead in life. Get it? Nah but seriously this is very disturbing. He's ahead of his time. Get it? Nah but seriously I will have nightmares about this.
Don't they use that type of stuff for the Jurassic series?
Very similar, yes!
Bro please say how to make that skin
how much u want for it dude?
What kind of silicone is this?
Where can i find it? Do you have a website you can point me to?
Thank you friend !
😆👍💯
This was SIX YRS AGO? Cripes. I came here to scream stop it but too late.
I hope those smart nerds’ robot GFs are worth the end of “Organic Humanoids” fka real humans, by our A.I. owners someday.
It was actually 10 years ago, and yes, totally worth it!
really this is better than shophia robot shophia robot skin is not nice
i hope a real person would look like this ¿
keisya azzahra.w This face is cast in rubber from the face of a real person.
keisya azzahra.w The man this is based on is named Greg Townley. You can look him up :)
Ima Dork
This must give him nightmares
@@brain_apostrophe_tI searched it up, his latest pictures he looks older and doesnt look like him much, but searching his younger photos with the common clean haircut, yep its him especially with the braces, my gosh the resemblance is creepy
Umm 666 subs it says.. Imma sub
So it's 667
Is it made of rubber?
Yes, silicone Rubber with a deadening agent to make it soft and the movement more natural.
Waldo Mason ok thanks
@@waldomason7643 Do u think latex would work if u want to get it this realistic? And I would like to work with your team. Any openings?
With a bit of A I it's possible
Detroit becomes human
I wanna touche him .... handsome
EvanDelilan true
Bruh he look like reportofthweek running on empty food review xd
WTH, he does
@@alpha_jasperflair1097 holy crap i commented that 6 years ago. i have no recollection of ever even seeing this video. crazy.
interesting! i have a question for u! whats the purpose of all these studies? help the poeple who had some facial accidents maybe? because i feel it is not really so ....
Fizeram o manoel nouer
هواي فن عدكم لعد احنه مجرد ساعه منعرف نصنع وحتة الي عده مهارة ميطلعو اصحاب الفنون يخلو علمة بطنه
WUUUUUT?
one day we will not see the uncanny of this robots. The new beginning of humanoid. the creator of the Terminator begins
i think Donald Trump is animatronic human
craig david I think he's a T Rex. Ancient with a big mouth and tiny hands.
I think he’s just so severely lacking in emotional empathy and social skills that he’s on some medical scale and just doesn’t know it, but as that’s pretty much how every actor ever portrays a robot, same thing, really.
Explains all the hot air he makes.
Makes sense... and here I thought all that silicone was for Melania.
i really wanna subscribe, decided not to ruin your 666 strike
Haha! Thanks, i've screenshotted it now so feel free! :)
@@waldomason7643 done! look forward to more awesome content
Sir ji ap ka no do na piliz
Страшно БРРР...
The real question is did they make a female looking one with a particularly soft mouth? Asking for a friend...
AMONG US!!!!!!!!!!!
Please stop stealing my ideas I think it’s gone to a point where I never invented anything mostly do to copycats
The inside looks soo scary
What's his name? how old is he? Can I like date him??
THAT"S FUCKED UP! SHAME ON YOU!
ew
Seriously who puts teeth braces on a robot? This is crap. Roll the head around the table a bit and I might believe it then. Show me what's at the neck. Looks too real. The green screened out his body.
They
Bob Marley, the braces were included to match the teenage actor who wore braces. As it says in the description this was made for a film and there is plenty of footage in this video at every stage and from many angles. But thanks for the compliment!
Fake
Morgan Olfursson haha, deleted your post again? And back again? You must really believe this is a real person! Thank you! 😀
no
So I guess you did your homework and are finally convinced! 😀
