I am an animatronic character designer for the film industry… love all types of art and tech… enjoy exploring philosophical and moral topics that affect society and the human condition…
Posing with SM-33 one of the many characters I was fortunate enough to do animatronics on for the Star Wars universe! #skeletonCrew #StarWars #droids #animatronics

Made this Arduino based laser harp from scratch. It is midi based and can sense beam breaks as well as length of beam. It can also play both hands simultaneously (polyphonic).

Had a ton of fun designing animatronics and puppeteering this one! We were only on-set a few days, but the vibes were super positive between everyone. I honestly wish we had been able to stay longer! Watch YOU’RE CORDIALLY INVITED!!!
