This is the escalator that I made for my Claymation. It’s made out of Ritz crackers box, and Fiber1 Peanut Butter boxes (just being specific you know lol).
It has cardboard, tape and copper wiring. The steps weren’t really necessary since I didn’t use them in the making of the claymation but I added them for the sake of looking fancy and escalator-like. I was going to paint it black but I decided not to because they won’t even be seen in the video. However, the two white flappy things at the end are actually covered with a very thin layer of black clay right now.
You can’t really see it but it’s crooked. It leans more on the left wall and the stairs are higher on the right wall. But it’s not really noticeable so it’s all good. You can only see it form up close.
Even if it doesn’t rotate like a real escalator, I did a pretty SWELL job at making the escalator! LOL
