What this video covers
Creator Matt Daniels of Creative Geekery takes on a full garage build of a Jurassic World-inspired raptor, combining foam carving, foam clay sculpting, and 3D-printed animatronics into a single epic documentary-style video compiled from five original episodes. The build covers the complete journey from raw materials to a finished, detailed dinosaur prop — including a custom raptor containment unit. Honest behind-the-scenes footage captures the real trial-and-error process rather than a polished step-by-step tutorial. Free build resources are offered on the creator's website for those who want to attempt their own version.

Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
