8 Ft. Tall Stalk-Around costume

Step 7 Costume head: wooden mount

Now that the arms and framework are finished let's move on to what I think is the coolest part of the costume, The working head movement, To start you'll first need to make a wooden head mount that fixes on the camera tripod, I made mine by simply cutting a piece of plywood into a circle a little bigger than the foam head's neck base (this was all done by using a rotozip) I then found the center of the circle and drilled a small hole so the camera tripod could screw snugly into it, I then made two additional holes and attached a miscellaneous fitting I found to work as a foam head support. I had to cut some pieces out of the head to make it fit.
