Author Edwin Wise has written the perfect book to help you liven
up the holidays! This hands-on and project-oriented book on animated
holiday displays covers simple, classic projects and advanced motion
animation used in professional mechatronic systems. Along the way,
it includes tips and tricks for sculpting and decorating all your
self-operated mechanisms.

complex animated display. Animatronics: A Guide to Animated Holiday
