TEX

This is "TEX", the most eloborate, most expensive costume we have ever constructed. It was made for the Lucasfilm subsidiary THX, the company that creates and installs the THX sound system in movie theaters all around the world. The character of TEX is a funny little computer generated robot that appears in the pre-feature THX promo animation that is shown in every theater that uses this sound system. This costume was commissioned for use at an electronics trade show being held in Las Vegas in January. All of the red pieces are made of fiberglass and had to be sculpted, cast and made here in the Studio. The silver parts of mostly acrylic and polycarbonate. All the pieces were professionally painted by my brother who does custom auto body paint work. The rocket pack was created by combining four different plastic gardening pots from Home Depot, as well as some other odds and ends. Overall, it turned out very nice and they were very happy with it.
