The Shrimp of Terror! -- Episode 358

 

True horror stories are much more frightening than made up ones. That's why Clem brings back the ancient nightmare from 550 million years ago- The Anomalocaris. It was one of the first known fierce predators and looked like a squishy shrimp of terror. Things get a little out of hand when another Clem appears on the scene....

    I actually liked the regrettable acting part! Too bad that the electronics part of the content "got left a bit behind", but on the other hand it was set to be an easier project. Good luck with the next one!

    Thanks Matt , while editing sometimes things have to speed up ,but I'll keep an eye on it!

  • that was pretty good to watch! I even enjoyed the acting scenes. thanks !!

     

     

    If i was to make 1 suggestion it would be just on the section of putting it all together. Show everyone how you mounted the servos etc. just a little more detail on assembly etc. Ive even noticed this on some oh the Ben Heck videos, as you get towards the end of the film little bits get skipped or overlooked. Not sure if its in the editing and a requirement to keep it under a certain time etc.

     

     

    Keep up the good work!

  • Thank you all for your Feedback. This video was intended to be a Halloween episode with an easy project everyone could make at home. I missed to state that in the intro. I tried to deliver regrettable acting like a lot of people were asking for, but that did not resonate well with some viewers. It is just not who I am and I guess you can see that. It was a brave experiment, but didn't work out. Lesson learned. I get back to doing my own style of project video(which is not fleshed out yet). Trying hard in one direction sometimes make you lack in other parts. I have to put 100% effort on my corporate day job ,while maintaining my own little business and making these videos for you guys. So it is hard to be on par every time, but that is a motivation to change some things and do better next time. Thanks for the constructive Feedback. Thank you even for any form of "hatemail", this motivates me to get better. Everybody lays a turd in his live, some do it in video form. Stay tuned to see the next projects which will hopefully trigger you in a positive way. I'm not Ben nor do I try to replace him, but give my own spin on this show, so my projects are less complex but will get more hardcore as I develop the skills needed. Feel free to express your thoughts about in the comment section and on element14.com In the meantime you can view some of my past project videos http://youtube.com/mayermakes  which show the progress I made so far. PLEASE KEEP ON POSTING FEEDBACK ,IT REALLY HELPS

    thanks, glad you like it.

    I got some of the silicone left so I maybe give it another shot.

  • Nice episode.

    Good job of showing us how to mold things in silicone and then adding animatronics to make it move on command.
