Bonnie The Animatronic Bunny
WHO:
Five Nights At Freddy’s Bonnie The Animatronic Bunny
WHY:
I wanted to do something niche, but recognizable to only the fan base. Five Nights fans are CRAZYY and I was immediately recognized many times throughout the night! I also love horror and this concept always stood out to me, as a kid.
WHAT (I USED): Foam, Acrylic Paint, Adhesive Spray, Solder, Gemma, Adafruit Jewels, Battery Pack, Medium Gauge Wire
WHAT (I DID):
The first thing I worked on was the ear headpiece. I cut foam with the band saw into 4 pieces and spent hours sanding them down to the correct shapes. Then, I sprayed them with adhesive spray before painting them.
I separately soldered wire to a metal headband (& later added supports + a second metal headband)
Finally I tackled the part I was most nervous about. I started on tinkered, with a tutorial of a blinking light sequence on the jewels that I was working with.
I played around with the code and used a bit of help from chat gbt to apply a fade between the yellow and red color switch.
Next, I soldered the Gemma to the 2 jewels, measuring them up against the glasses that they would be attached to.
HOW (I FEEL):
I am happy with the accuracy of this costume! And its wearability throughout the night.
Running out of time, during my laptop disaster, I thought I would not be able to pull it all together in the end. But after a last minute re-solder and borrowing Lauren’s laptop on October 31st at 4:45pm, I loaded the light animation onto my Gemma and was ready for the fashion show and parade!
HOW (I CAN DO BETTER):
I should have decreased the brightness significantly. Maybe also take into account my own eye protection. I want to be more fluent in coding language so I can pinpoint issues and troubleshoot with more confidence.
