![]() I cut three individual metal parts from the remaining Straight Brackets, and filed them down to the specific angle. It gave a really nice detail of that specific leg shape, so I was able to create a template from it on graph paper. ![]() It what holds his inner springs together, as well as his lower V- Hinges.Īnyway, long story short, I did a lot of image searching and finally used this as the basic template for my image. If you haven't noticed, the two leg sections that connect Luxo Jr's V-body hinge to his leg V hinge, is this kind of stretched out Z shaped metal bar. Not necessarily because it that hard to make, but just grabbing the specific dimensions for this unique piece was nearly impossible to find. Creating this part of the lamp was easily the most difficult of the project, and the most time I spent on it. I printed it out from my computer, did some basic ratios, and roughly estimated that my lamp would stand at around 1/30th the size standing at 1 foot tall. I found the below image from Flickr and it was perfect, since it gave a nice structured overlay for entire statue. Also, apart from the head, I knew that the rest of his "legs" from my existing anglepoise lamp could be cut down to scale, in order to fit my needs. In order to make my lamp as film accurate as possible, I ended up doing a lot of research into Luxo Jr's specific dimensions and size. The diameter of the head will always be used as the common denominator, when calculating the various size ratios.įor reference, The ratio from Head diameter to Body and Leg rods~ 5 in/ 3.15in For instance, the circumference of my lamp's head was 5'', so each of the connecting rods were around 3''. Everything else the leg sizes, screw lengths, V connectors, spring size should follow. will depend on the size of the diameter of your Lamp's Head. Since this as well as the base are the only things that can't be resized/ scaled, depending for your Luxo Jr. Start by measuring the diameter of your lamp's head. ![]() Computer Printer or Copier (with resize/scale function).Aluminum Silver Paint (or Off White, depending on whether you want your Luxo to look like it did in the short or in the PIXAR title sequence, respectively).Power Drill w/ drill bit (at least 9/64).Rectangular steel bar (has to be thicker than your lamp light's bars).Long Screw (I used a 5'', I used a #10-32).I prefer this over sheet metal since it's easier to cut) Plexiglass (for the different "V" shaped connectors.Since mine had a different base, I needed to buy another one at Goodwill) Circular Lamp Base (depending on your type of anglepoise lamp you purchased, you might not need this.Anglepoise Lamp (I got mine at Target for $25).I have a new video here showing how to render from After Effects CC.īy downloading you agree to the Terms of Service.Here's what you'll need to build him: Supplies Selecting the correct rendering settings in After Effects CC is a bit different from the older versions I use in the tutorials.
