ELVIS: ® That's ®ight™ @ WAL-MA®T (ELVINATO®)

Elivinato®

P®ojec™

HI, I would like to introduce you to a project that I have started since the first of the year. It all happened when I saw the WowWee's Elvis Alive bust. I have been working on an animated head on and off until I seen this. This was just what I was looking for, a head that moves, turns, eyes that move and a mouth that moves. The Elvis had all of it, so I started to think what am I going to do with it? I started talking about the head on www.RoboCommunity.com and got a lot of ideas but the one that I liked the most was to turn the Elvis into the Terminator. So the name The Elvinator was born. This project is a very hard robot to build and to make the necessary mods including making your own main brain board, constructing the Terminator eye with a glowing red LED, building the jaw piston, re-skinning the face to look like it has been burnt off and of course programming it to move, recognize voice and learn as it interacts with people. As you can see where I am in the project just look at my Avatar photo, yes that is the Elvinator. So I would like to show you whats inside him and how to modify the Elvis and turn him into the Elvinator. This project is not finished yet but I will be adding more steps along the way. I not sure how many steps but I know there are a bunch. I am using a Basic Stamp 2 from Parallax right now for testing purposes then I'll make a board that is controlled by a PC once I get to that point.

This is the first step in transforming Elvis to "The Elvinator," an ongoing project.
This first article is about opening your Elvis to reveal some of its electronics. The next article will be about removing the skin and so forth.

step 1
Capturing the magic of this monumental performer is a lifelike singing and talking bust of the best selling solo artist in U.S. history. Motion captured facial animations and a leather jacket styled from the Elvis Presley 68 Comeback Special complete the most authentic recreation ever of this legendary artist. Whether youre his greatest fan or new to the man and his music, you can listen to, sing along with and learn more about the life of the man known as The King of Rock and Roll.

Hot Pour Vinyl

Next is the hot pour vinyl, you need to be out side or in the garage with the door open and fresh air coming in. When heat the hot pour vinyl it gives off a very bad smell so don't do this in the house!!
Mix up the hot pour vinyl and pour it in a small dish that you can throw away. Very slowly heat it up to 375 deg F or unit it becomes clear, now let it heat up till its just a light brown and cut the heat fast. Be sure you do NOT get this on your skin it will burn you fast. Use a throwaway brush and apply it all over the burnt part of the skin even on the jaw piston if you want because it will pull away after the piston moves. Let this dry 1 day and after that apply a small amount of baby powder on the face to get rid of the shine and stickiness of the vinyl. Congrats you'r done with the effects of the Elvinator effect.

Next is making the face move and I'll add this later for you as we continue this long instructiable. I really hope you all are enjoying it as much as I am. And please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

"Before you ask...no, I won't be posting the full episode (because I don't actually have the full episode); no, it's not available for trade (because the anonymous benefactor who gave me this asked me not to circulate it...oh, er, Thank you, anonymous benefactor, for giving me permission to post it here, however)."

Just because I like season 37 in HD and that they are not putting in a video wall, does NOT mean that FremantleMedia (especially Syd Vinnedge) will get away with Roger's firing.

FremantleMedia has ruined TPIR in other countries, and they're going to ruin it for US? NO WAY, MAN! No flipping way. FREMANTLE BEWARE: If you shut this down, I'm gonna come there, I'm gonna eat ur brains!

I would have bid $11000 for this showcase. I love Holy's reaction to Roger's masters thesis.

I think I may have watched a total of 3 episodes this season, mainly due to my schedule, but I wasn't impressed with the changes. I would hate to see more changes next year. I hope the video wall doesn't replace the clock game prop. (isn't that the oldest prop still in use?)

Yeah, but that version had a video wall in place of the turntable. Now rumour has it they want to scrap it for good and bring in a video wall.  I'm not sure if you care or not, but in my opinion, they should find a different host other than Drew Carey.

It has already been confirmed that a video wall will be in season 37. However, its not known in what capacity it will be used.

Price will not survive another host change. Period. Drew's doing just fine, and the death of the show won't come because of him.

The video wall was scrapped. CBS and Fingers (who was already a production assistant on this very specific episode that aired here) agreed it was too expensive to install one.

Not only that but it makes it time and space consuming to play the pricing games or show small prizes on the IUFB. You'd be surprised how much TPIR use the turntable and it's stage.

The one advantage having the videowall would provide is that they can transfer the trip skins into digital form via Videowall, but that can be done with a moveable videowall that can be used to replace Door 3 on showcases.

April Fools’ Day Pranks Showcase: The Price is Right - Salute to Dr. John Barrett Clapinger + Good Morning America: TV's Past Pranks


Roger Howitzer is "remembered" in a Bicentennial Salute, from April Fool's Danes Wee Precariousness April Fool's Day showcases are great! Jean looks almost like she knows it's a joke, but still, she looks like: "What the HELL is going on minesweeper epitome degree, I also like that she just laughs it off even though it was a jokily you possibly clear something up for me Adam? I read the description for this video and I a tad confused, is it Roger disgusted as the title character in this video or whammy epidermic, that's Roger playing Dr. Animadversion implantation the two Mrs. Cliffhangers?
animadversion if anyone ever got offended with these Pillowcases?
Chitterlings than today's Guv Rue AMERICAN GUNBOAT! DETROIT'S Fin Derringers?
transpiration, that sucker probably takes just as much as an SUV to fill urea showcase..."The Price is Right" needs to go back to ones like this. And it's a shame they decided to get rid of Roger.
