- The Dead are alive - "007 Spectre" opening scene anyone ?
Día de Muertos celebrations are taking place in Mexico at this time of the year. I have always liked their atmosphere and aesthetics, and the way they honor the memory of lost relatives and friends in a colorful an joyful way.
(yes, I do have a sweet spot for The Book of Life and Grim Fandango too)
This is my best attempt at creating a float that could take part into the parade.
I wanted motion, as much of it as possible. So it has :
forward / backward
moving legs / arms / head
spinning platform
(subtly) dancing mariachi
All movements are linked together, speed is adjusted with the remote control.
It also includes lights, because the parade does not stop at night !
Powered by : 1 M-motor - 3 PF lights - 1 IR receiver - 1 PF speed remote control - 1 PF AAA battery box (88000) + black light to enhance the night shots
Please enjoy !
