The MP3 trigger was overkill at first so I used an <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11125" rel="nofollow">Audio-Sound Module</a>. The speakers were embedded in the mask behind the "eyes" and the switch was run down the inside of the costume to my hand for easy triggering.<p>The head rattle sound I was going for can be heard <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x24d7y_kodama-awaken_shortfilms" rel="nofollow">in this clip</a> at about 3 minutes. Anyone who's seen Princess Mononoke should just watch all 4 minutes to feel the chills. Such a great movie.</p><p>This year is another giant plaster head year and I've already picked a character that will require judicious use of EL panels.</p></p>
