Life-Sized Animatronic Characters Needed
Budget / Salary£10–20

Posted1 hour ago
I’m shooting an independent film built around a group of original characters that I have already sketched out in detail. To bring them to the screen, I need at least four full-body suits—each human-sized—with integrated animatronics that handle mouth movement for dialogue, blinking eyes, and expressive eyebrows. The end goal is to have performers step inside, act naturally, and let the mechanical face work sell the illusion.
What I can’t offer right now is money. What I can offer in place of a cash fee is full on-screen and promotional credit for your fabrication work, social-media shout-outs, behind-the-scenes features that spotlight your process, and my own skills on tap for any project you might need help with (editing, storyboarding, prop building—let’s talk). If you’re looking for a high-visibility passion project to showcase creature-effects talent, this is it.
Deliverables (must-have):
• Four or more life-sized suits built from my supplied drawings
• Animatronic system delivering smooth mouth, eye, blink, and eyebrow motion, controllable by either in-suit triggers or a remote operator
• Durable yet lightweight construction that allows a performer to wear the suit for extended takes
• Paint and finishing that match my existing color references
Once the suits arrive, we’ll schedule a quick camera test so you—and the internet—can see them in action. If this sounds like a portfolio piece you’d love to own, message me and let’s create something unforgettable together.
