Distortions Unlimited takes viewers behind the scenes on the creation of their giant Kong animatronic gorilla head — a passion project sculpted by Ed Edmunds. The build journey covers every major stage: metal armature construction, clay sculpting, latex skinning, foam filling, and final paint work. Standing approximately 11 feet tall when fully raised, the finished piece features moving eyes, blinking eyelids, a opening/closing mouth, and a side-to-side head turn, all driven by professional-grade pneumatic cylinders. The complete package ships with a control system, audio track, amplifier, fog machine, and simulated lightning lighting effects.
This behind-the-scenes look from Distortions Unlimited follows the sculpting of a massive King Kong-style gorilla animatronic in their studio. It showcases the artistry and scale involved in creating a giant creature figure rather than a step-by-step home build. Viewers get an inside view of professional prop fabrication and animatronic character design.
Distortions Unlimited documents the professional creation of a giant Kong animatronic, starting from a hand-sculpted clay original and progressing through fiberglass mold making and foam-filled latex skin production. The build showcases the high-end fabrication pipeline used by industry professionals to produce large-scale creature animatronics for haunts and theme parks. The result is a massive, detailed gorilla figure suitable for high-impact haunted attraction or theme park installations.
