Mannequin Update to Joint (Double Ball) Instead of Single

Hey guys, I'm hoping to put out some interesting content at least once a week. This week i'm continuing with our Mannequin production.

The first attempt that we put out was the mannequin idea with very small financial input with the ability of staging the mannequin for stop animation. This however didn't work as well as we wanted. Below is the video that we made showing how we made the secondary double ball joints and their functionality with our mannequin.

The ball joints weren't as rigid and didn't have the full 360 degrees of motion that was originally intended.

That was because the ball joint only allowed for a 180 degrees of rotation since we are only using half the ball to allow for motion. So to fix that we decided to add an additional ball to the other side of the original ball in order to hopefully allow for a full 360 degree rotation. Then, by adding an addition set of hose clamps we can maintain the rigidity of the mannequin.

Hope you enjoy our mannequin double ball joint update and if you have any questions or comments let me know!
