Here is a "sneak peek" video of my 3-axis skull routine for 2008 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4EiFaY77S8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4EiFaY77S8)). It's not a completed project as I still have more work to do but the hard part is over. I'm using VSA with a Prop-SX controller. Thanks Jon for all your help! The Prop-SX is an incredible product!

Thanks for the compliment. The 2nd skull voice is actually mine with a fake Southern accent that was "modfied" via Audacity. I'm not from the South nor have I ever lived there, but I didn't want the neighborhood kids to know it was me. I'm not even really sure it was a good Southern accent.

As an actor and a person who has lived in the south I can tell you it's fine. No, not necessarily accurate but then, there are bunches of regional dialects that we collectively call a southern accent. Still, who expects a perfect/accurate out of a talking skull? Nobody! You're going for essence and you got it; your viewers brains will fill in the rest.
Thanks for the kind words Jon. Close enough is good enough for me.
To be honest, I don't think there will be too many TOTs that will listen to the content anyway. I would guess that most will point and say something like "look it's talking". I tried to keep the whole routine under a minute because I know it probably won't hold their interest for long. I do, however, expect a couple of return visits during the night to watch it again.
Greg
Yes, that looks very good!
I was finally able to take a video of the completed project this year. Here is a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLNb-Sn7Ru4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLNb-Sn7Ru4)
Nicely done!
