TCS creates
amazing Exoskeleton Legs!
Director Miguel Arteta and
Propmaster Tim Wiles needed a very special effect for the Jennifer
Garner Netflix film "Yes Day." Her husband, played by Edgar
Ramirez, works at a High Tech Invention Startup. In a brief scene, a
pair of Exoskeletal Robotic Legs malfunctions, to comic effect.
What was needed was something that looked like a believable set of
Exoskeletal legs, enabling the wearer to amplify their movements from
the hip down. Rick Lazzarini and his clever crew at The Character Shop
tackled the challenge, using machining, thermoforming, bodyshopping,
mechanical, animatronic, and electronics techniques to create a very
convincing set of Robotic legs (and Brain Control Cap!).
Have a look at the Making of Progress pics and Behind the Scenes shots
to see the complexity involved in creating a fully articulated,
multi-jointed, sleek yet robust, and functional-looking action
Prop/Costume effect such as this!
Whether you're a Producer, Art
Director, Prop Master, Production Designer, Private Collector,
Inventor, Burning Man Artistic Investor, or Exhibit Designer... you can
have incredible animatronic creations for your Production or Project.
