One model entirely operated by remote control was dubbed “RoboChucky.” They were then brought to life on the Vancouver set by a team of puppeteers. Masters and his team worked out of their Vancouver outpost off initial designs by Klevberg and designer Einar Martinsen to build a small army of half a dozen foam latex Chuckys with interchangeable heads, hands and motor-filled animatronic bodies made of plastic and aluminum. “This is how it works, people! Your children are duplications of your bad self!” “I thought that was such a great part of the story,” he said, laughing. And if we truly were going to have this machine-learning character that was up to date with AI, they would, very much like a young child, take on a lesson and learn from us - for better or worse. “He was really curious about how his own children were giving impressions to him and how curious they were. (In the Summer of Evil Dolls, which also includes next week’s “Annabelle Comes Home,” MastersFX is additionally behind the doll design of July’s “Brahms: The Boy II.”)Īlthough designed largely in tribute to the original film’s villainous Good Guys doll, down to the striped shirt and denim overalls, red hair and mass-produced packaging, the new Chucky’s facial features required an expressive range of emotions to convey different compulsions than the original Chucky. But I didn’t want to mimic it or repeat it because, hats off, they did great work, and why repeat it?” So to me it meant respecting that work and the art that went into that. “Kevin Yagher, who supervised the original, is a genius. “I was around when the first was made, and I remember all the guys that were on that show and I know its construction intimately,” said Emmy-winning artist and MastersFX President Todd Masters. The array of practical animatronic puppets later was enhanced with VFX by Pixomondo. That curiosity - along with a sense of needfulness, despair and eventual homicidal rage - plays out across Chucky’s freckled face, brought to life by award-winning character FX studio MastersFX. “I wanted to create something that had its own will,” he added, “based on how small toddlers problem-solve and are always curious - initially they have a good heart, and everything they look at and touch is based on a curiosity for what’s going on in the world.”
