Default Flying Witch

I have wanted to do a flying witch, like the one I saw on DadofallTrades channel on you tube, for three years. I really stole a lot of his tricks and methods but I also tried to give it my own list of xtras. 1. Had to be bigger. 2. Had to go faster. 3. Had to have more details. So right up front....Thank you DadofallTrades. You were my inspiration. I am adding sound as well as fiber optics to the bristles. There was some belt slippage in this video, so she is running a little slowly. Thats fixed now and she has been clocked at exactly 8 rpm. 32' diameter circle.

Awesome! Would love to see some night shots as I'm curious how you're planning to light that. Moving props with range have always been a challenge for me to figure out lighting wise.

This project has been a long time making. The hands were done with the bic pens and cotton/latex method. Bought the mask online and had someone paint the hands and mask to match. Added the eyes, witch ball, and used weed block cloth for clothing. I am constantly adding little touches that no one will ever see, but it sure is fun for me. The witch ball is an outdoor light from Lowes. It fades different colors. I bought the broom 2 years ago for this project. Anyway, heres a couple pics....
