Hello Friends,Do you know what is "ANIMATRONICS"?
Animatronics is essentially a cross between Animation and Electronics. Basically, an animatronics is a mechanized puppet.
Basically, the puppet consists of a metal skeleton, over which materials (such as clay, latex, etc.) are overlaid to make a body and face. The metal skeleton will be hooked up to some wiring and a control, from which the puppeteer can operate the puppet.
It can be preprogrammed or remotely controlled. It was originally coined by Walt Disney as "Audio-Animatronics”, which can actually be seen in various forms as far back as Leonardo-Da-Vinci's Automata Lion.
Long before digital effects appeared, animatronics were making cinematic history. The scare generated by the Great White coming out of the water in "Jaws" and the tender otherworldliness of "E.T." were its outcomes. The Jurassic Park series combined digital effects with animatronics.
Animatronics are not normally used for theatre productions - although last year, the world was inspired by “The Sultan’s Elephant”, a giant puppet elephant which was taken to the streets of London.
The world-famous Stan Winston Studios has made maximum use of the animatronics technique. “Enthiran” is the first Indian movie to use Stan Winston Studio’s Animatronics technology.
