Creative Visions Delivery!

[Spookyfinder]

Creative Visions, in an effort to meet our last minute order deadline, has one of their team driving up tonight to deliver our newest prop. This is going to be a custom prop designed and built by Creative Visions. As soon as I can, I'll get pictures and if possible some video footage. Mark and Dan have pulled off a miracle for us and I can't say enough good about how great these guys are to work with. Of course, they've become much more than business associates and we're very proud to call them friends! We are so excited about putting the "piece de resistance" (SP?) in place late tonight and being ready to creak open the dungeon doors on Raycliff Manor tomorrow night! :twisted:

It's good to have a company that can pull off something like that with such short notice. I can't wait to see pics of this prop. Post them soon.

:shock: :shock: :shock: Talk about underpromising and overdelivering! :shock: :shock: :shock: Mark, Dan, Drew and the rest of the Creative Visions crew... you guys are freakin AWESOME! Talk about service! Talk about an AMAZING product! I'll get pictures taken and posted ASAP. I wish I had a video camera to film the character in action. If I can get someone to videotape hime, I'll do so as well. I can't say enough how pleased we are with your product/service. You guys definitely made the show. Drew, thank so much for driving all the way down here to install the character for us. You are a perfectionist my friend and apparently so is the rest of the CV team! Thanks again and we owe you guys for pulling this off for us on such short notice :!: :!: :!:

It's good to hear that, most the time you only hear the bad stuff.

I doubt i'm not the only one but the suspense is killing me. I want to know what this prop is.

[Spookyfinder]

Thanks for the kind words Kel!...it's nice to get appreciation for a job well done...

Man the suspense is killing me too!...oh wait...I designed it...hehehe...

It's a custom queue-line skeletal character with full range head motion...it did turn out pretty nice for a rush job I must say...he's built nice and beefy so he'll last a long time...glad you love him Kel!...did you give him a name yet?...I'd love to see a pic of him in his new home!

We haven't given him a name yet, but I was thinking about asking for help from the HauntWorld Family in naming him. Of course, I need to post a picture first! I went to the haunt last night with camera in hand and every intention of taking a picture to post today, but we all know how opening night goes... :shock: We had a series of "mini-crisis", and ultimately got everything all worked out by the time we started letting people in the attraction. Whew! There's always bugs to get worked out on the first night, but I'm definitely going to get some pictures tonight! Mari was able to get pictures of most, if not all, of the actors in makeup last night and I'm going to ask her to send me electronic copies so I can share them as well. Speaking of Mari, I've been trying to get Mari interested in conducting seminars on "Managing a Fright Team". She is amazing! One of the most organized people I've known and outstanding at developing and managing a crew, including actors, makeup artists and security! I even suggested to her that we do seminars together to cover a variety of aspects of operating an attraction. :wink:

No need to wait for a picture.... If it's a skeletal creature how about Keleton!

[~nail in the coffin~]

i wanna see it!!!!!!

[Spookyfinder]

Here's a picture of the Creative Visions animatronic! I'll try to get more pictures soon with closer shots. I also had one of the actors videotape the character in action and he's going to send me a file format I can share. Thanks again to the gang at Creative Visions for an awesome job! Like the name suggestion Roy, but it's suspiciously similar to my name. :wink: :lol: I'm still looking for additional name ideas...

So what exactly does the animated s"KEL"eton do? Stand up, move head, raise arms, etc.???

[Jim Warfield]

What does he do?
Maybe it would be different (and maybe easier?) to have the floor under the customers begin moving towards the skeleton?

[Greg Chrise]

Charles Raycliff, I presume?
