Making GIANT Animatronics at Distortions Unlimited

Distortions Unlimited takes viewers behind the scenes of their studio to show how their massive Colossus and Sleeping Giant animatronics are built from start to finish. The production process spans sculpting, mold work, armature fabrication, mechanical assembly, painting, hairing, and dressing — all handled by a dedicated team. The video also showcases the finished animatronics in action, including a real-world installation at a home haunt. Originally sculpted in the late 1990s, these characters have become long-running staples at haunts and theme events nationwide.

We Used 2500 Pounds of Clay to Sculpt Our Kong Animatronic!

Distortions Unlimited takes viewers on a comprehensive 43-minute behind-the-scenes journey through the creation of their Kong animatronic gorilla head — a massive professional-grade figure that stands approximately 11 feet tall when raised. The build is documented from initial metal armature construction through clay sculpting, latex skin application, foam filling, mechanical rigging, and final paint and finishing. Sculpted by company founder Ed Edmunds as a passion project, Kong features articulated mouth, head-turn, and independently moving eyes and eyelids, driven by heavy-duty cylinders. The finished prop ships with a control system, audio track, amplifier, fog machine, and simulated lightning lighting effects.
