The KZread algorithm recommended Isaac Alexander DIY to me. Turned out to be one of the best decisions KZread ever made.

One of the absolute best DIY videos that I've ever seen. You explained simply and clearly and it's all done with normal stuff anyone can get their hands on. I hate watching a "beginner" DIY Halloween tutorial that was made using things like 3D printers etc that most people don't have. I loved this. Thank you

Fantastic work! I enjoyed the time you spent with explaining how to complete this and it looks awesome! I will be watching your channel quite a bit for your ideas and projects. Thank you for doing this.

I really like how you take the time to explain everything and show all the parts with labels. For someone like me who does not have a lot of experience with these kinds of projects, I find it very helpful.

You did a fantastic job on this project. Kudo’s and hats off to you.

Wow, thanks for this, Isaac! These instructions are so clear, and you explain everything so well. I've always been nervous to try something animated, but your video actually makes me feel like I could make this awesome prop!

You can do it Amanda!😃 I had never built an animatronic or an animated prop before. I was actually nervous and unsure of how it would turn out because the directions I was getting were from various different sources and a lot of the times I had to improvise. But I made sure I made a tutorial that would be super easy for anybody to follow cause I wanted to make it easier for others. Also if you ever get stuck with something, I’m always here to help

Love your videos for all your creations. Excellent detail information. Thanks

Isaac, I recently was not well and watched you build and teach and I have to say besides loving Halloween, Christmas and holidays you blew me away! You’re a true artist! Keep making and creating young man! Would love to see your Halloween display. Happy Halloween!

Great video and cool effect. Small tip ... that white/gray paint job starting around the 3 min mark would have been way easier if you used a larger chip brush and dry brushed it. Makes hitting the high spots go way faster since you don't have to be so precise.

Looks like car wiper motor, ,a window motor also works. The extra part looks like something to slow the motor speed down. I think you can use a dimmer switch and then a power supply 120 to 12v.

great stuff Fireblock foam is orange, makes a better base, dry brush black paint on for better contrast when lit, great stuff black pond foam could also work for contrasting dark coals

@IsaacAlexanderDIY

I disagree with using fire block foam. You would need six cans of 12 ounce fire block foam and those can be 3 to 4 times more expensive than the basic expanding foam. I would’ve had to have spent almost $70 on that type of foam and that is not cost-effective. Great for somebody who has an unlimited budget but not practical for the every day DIY’er
