Does It Play On a Mac? – Nightmare Creatures

This first video gives a quick tour of our place in Las Vegas and what we had then:

This next video shows us putting all of the parts we got together: (We did another speed up and added some music to make it interesting – LOL)

This was about as far as we got with this project.
