Description
My first big prop endeavor which was a team effort with myself and . She worked on the TV and base and I made the cores. Each core is a foam ball, hollowed out, dipped in latex, painted, and installed with a tap-light. I also installed a speaker on the right side of the TV, connected it to my iPod inside, and put all of GLaDOS's quotes on loop as we wheeled her around the front of the con. We put a light inside the TV screen, which you couldn't exactly see, but it's there.

Looking back on this now in an era of incredibly crafted and detailed GLaDOS robot props, we did manage to put a TON of work into this baby back in 2008. It was a fun project, and a big crash-course for me in incorporating electrical elements and casting materials into a finished prop. Mar-T even made little laminated Aperture Science ID badges for us to wear. Unfortunately it rained like hell the day we brought this to the con, so most of our photos of it are in a dimly-lit parking garage. Womp womp.

And yes, I am wearing a Green Monkeys shirt beneath my lab coat. You don't have to ask why.
