I spent a week with a professional $35,000 robot, and lived out my filmmaking dream! After unboxing the Universal Robots UR5e, I have it do Camera Motion Control - which is when you use a robot, instead of a large camera crew! It was such an amazing experience and I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did enjoy making it!!!! Watch all the way to the end for a sneaky surprise! x)
Which kind of LEDs to use?? What a headache.

Originally, my HAKKO FX-901 soldering iron used AA batteries, but that made it heavy and slow to heat up - so I decided to upgrade it by modding it to accept a USB-C Power Delivery supply.
Doubling the voltage meant it's much faster. When paired with a lightweight cord, it's even more comfy to use than before. A quick project, but a huge quality of life improvement!

These motorized rocket pods are a part of my Pharah from Overwatch cosplay. I spent months developing this mechanism, 3D model that I printed, as well as the electronics and software for the animations. I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out - so check out this video and see how animatronics work IRL!

Blowing people away - literally! Blurring lines between real and cosplay, I show you how I design and build Jumpjet Aviator Pharah. This project features animatronic wings, powerful inline blower fans, a bunch of motors and LEDs!
In this video I show you how (and why) I created my own version of (and travel-friendly) Aviator Pharah from Overwatch. I show you a few interesting techniques and methods, so if you like DIY, animatronics, cosplay, or all of the above - check it out! :D

Almost done with my IRL Mantis Blades from the game Cyberpunk 2077!
Once I'm done, I will post a full build video on this YT page. Motion system is so responsive, I can use it almost like a real limb! :D
I'm building the Sandayu Oda boss version (with glowing blades) - so the next step is to add some sick LEDs and the blades themselves!

My motorized rocket pods are finally wearable! The costume I'm making these for, Aviator Pharah, has a lot of sci-fi looking, but realistic accessories like this - that's why I made the harness from real leather. I modelled the armor itself around a 3D scan of my legs for the best fit possible - I used an iPhone for that. I went through quite a few iterations but this final fit and size seems to be spot on! Just sanding and paint left, lol!

My animatronic Doomfist gauntlet that I made all from scratch is my all time favorite project. I just love blurring the line between what's real, and what's cosplay. With zero blacksmithing skills, I made this in my apartment before I even had a workshop, with help from a lot of YouTube videos! That whole journey inspired me to make guide videos of my own :)
