3D TV

The 3dtv prop consists of a gutted console TV with no screen, a stand, motor, and a head of some sort.


First thing to do is make a new screen for your TV. This is done with dark brown or black spandex. Staple it down to the frame or secure it with carpenter's tack. Make sure its stretched tight but not too tight.

The stand will have to different for every motor. But the same principle applies. Mount it so it spins horizontally. The stand should be towards the rear of the TV. We mounted a wooden arm to our motor and then drilled a hole in it. This hole was used to run a bolt through to loosely connect another arm.

The second arm is longer and has the head or face piece attached at one end. We screwed hooks into that end as well and attached springs to them and the inside of the TV. The springs helped keep the head centered and because our arm had a pivot point the head would push straight out of the screen.
