Animatronics create an illusion of life by looking and behaving as realistically as possible. Quality lab work is essential to achieving this kind of result. The lab technician is asked to do a variety of things in the shop: running foam, molds, pouring silicone, fiberglass, alginate, and many other processes. If you're looking to build convincing mechanical characters, good lab work is essential.

In this FREE excerpt, you’ll learn from one of the industry’s most highly respected lab technicians on how to create lifelike animatronics. Cory Czekaj shares a variety of must-know techniques that will get you and your team ready to run skins for an animatronic character.

In our excerpt, Cory shows you how to check an adjusted alginate skin to make sure the skin will work for the eventual #animatronics.
