Saturday: July 19th
| 8AM-5PM: Prop Swap and
Halloween Music/Video Swap (VHS/DVD/LP/ CD) Some haunters that also collect
music/videos have requested this and I think it's a great idea. Bring
anything Halloween related that you might want to give away, swap or sell. If
you have a "collection" of anything Halloween related please bring
it to "show and tell". |
| Morning Seminar: 8AM - Noon.......................Dougie
Hack (Douglas Holladay)
BYOD (Bring Your Own Dougie to Hack....) This seminar can turn a Dougie into a talking mask,
talking skull or talking tombstone. We will likely only have time to place
the dougie into a wig form and have you finish the mask part at home.
This is a "make it and take it home" seminar.
Those that wish to do so can make this prop and take it home. Others may
elect to just learn how to do it and not make one at the seminar. |
| Lunch: Noon-1PM |
To be provided on site.
Final plan to be determined!
| Afternoon Seminar: 1PM - 2PM.....................Mud
Monster 101 (Webby) |
A beginners guide to working with Monster Mud. This will be
a demonstration. Webby will take us thru the steps as she creates a monster
mud project. No materials required. Everyone will have an opportunity to get
their hands into the mud and you may be able to make a little monster to take
home.
| Afternoon Seminar: 2PM - 2:30PM.....................Flicker
Fire Circuit (PropMaster) |
This will be a "make it and take it home" project
for those wishing to do so. The materials for this prop will cost approx. $5
and will be provided at cost to those that let me know in advance if they want
a kit. To bring your own materials see the list
here. A "kit" will also be available at the
gathering (let me know).
| Afternoon Seminar: 2:30PM - 3:30PM.....................Basic
Pneumatic Props (Robbie Dalley) |
A beginners guide to working with pneumatics. Robbie
will offer his experience in creating a basic air driven prop (two frights
pop-up from behind a tombstone). This would include building the air
value from washing machine parts, and adapting a floodlight motion sensor to
trigger the event.
| Afternoon Seminar: 3:30PM -
4PM..........................Air Brush & Spray Paint (Webby &/or
Stan Rife) |
Using Air Brush and Spray Can Paint for Tombstones.
Make Up and Air Brush Make Up.
| Afternoon Seminar: 4PM - 5PM..........................Using
an Ice Cream Motor for Animation (Douglas Holladay) |
Using the motor from an Electric Ice Cream Maker in animated
props. Ice cream motors are generally in great supply, I have three on hand
and could obtain others in various prices of $5 to $15 from thrift stores,
not a problem for me because I frequent thrift store to support my Halloween
addiction. The motors are powerful enough to animate most any prop,
noise is it's biggest disadvantage. This will be a demo and not a make it and
take it prop.
