This silicone-skinned animatronic was done "On-Spec" for a PBS production called "Beyond Human". It was created from start to finish in less than one week during the month of December 2000. The effects for the final program were eventually done by a LA-based computer fx firm.









The animated gif below shows how a series of lights flashed through the surface of the translucent silicone skin. This animatronic also featured four movements: eye-blinks, up/down eye-movement, left/right eye-movement, and the jaw opened and closed.
