Stretch 2.0
Stretch started out as my first animated prop. It was a simple zombie arm that was reaching out from inside a coffin. For 2012 I decided that he needed a full body. The head started out as a styrofoam skull I scavenged from a $10 store-bought prop. I built the mechanics to move both his head and arm, then started on the "corpsification" of my skull.
Below is the fully functioning Stretch 2.0! I completed the mechanics under the shroud using about $5 in materials. His hair was hand laid using material I scavenged from two other Dollar Store props. He'll be busting out of coffin at a cemetery near you!
