From prop man Erik Nelson: "I don't have any idea where the voicebox has gone off to. Diana Prince aka Darcy the Mail Girl (Phantom of the Paradise) nsfw.
I wanted to point out, though, that the actual box he wore in the film was closer to the C-05 (like the photo pictured). The hole should be centered vertically, but the sideways positioning is less critical - do what looks right.To make it easier to change batteries without having to open up the enclosure, I chose to mount the battery holders underneath, but you could dispense with that and keep them inside. Thanks to prop man Erik Nelson telling me it was a commonly available enclosure purchased from an electronics store (in the 70s), I was able to come up with the proper search terms to find the same make and model of enclosure used in the film! A disfigured composer sells his soul for the woman he loves so that she will perform his music. Note that there was a microphone mounted on the front panel in the film, but we will replace that with a low-profile potentiometer (pulled from the speaker) since we will be using a headset mic for the voice module. I recommend kit form since you will be replacing the LEDs, battery clip, and sensitivity control.Build the kit, but don't mount the LEDs, battery clip, or volume control.Clip the LED leads to half their length without losing track of the longer (+) side.Use the 10mm LEDs on wires long enough to mount in spots behind the holes in the enclosure. Alternatively, use a hacksaw to shorten the shaft of the pot. The nice thing about this being on the bottom when worn is that if you drill a hole wrong (like I did) it doesn't destroy the device. The proportions don't match on the C05 (11 x 7 face, 8 inches long) - looks more like this, which doesn't match the movie: Series > Complete List (Alphabetical) ... Phantom Brave; Phantom Breaker; Phantom of the Opera; Phantom Quest Corp; Phantom ~Requiem for Phantom~ Phantom, The; Phi Brain; Phineas & Ferb; However, an evil record tycoon betrays him and steals his music to open his rock palace, The Paradise.
Archived. Unfortunately, since there aren't too many old-timey. on You may have to do some hunting at surplus electronics stores to find a knob that looks right and fits the Philmore knob well. If you do hard-wire the holders, you will want to use a slit from the edge of the backplate rather than a hole for the wires.The original voicebox did not use LEDs and the light filled the holes in the box without hotspots. Stay tuned for some alterations, such as using LED panels instead of single LEDs.If you are curious about the whereabouts of the original voicebox, so is everyone else.
Previously any replicas captured the general idea but were made with enclosures not quite resembling the original. To avoid hotspots, you can try a layer of diffusion material inside the box. I don't know how to adjust the circuit from running LEDs to running LED panels (which have resistors already built in). Yeah, it is the dictionary definition of "fucking far out, man." on Thanks. The hole should be centered vertically, but the sideways positioning is less critical - do what looks right.Lastly is the hole for the volume control you remove from the speaker. Directed by Brian De Palma. Phantom Of The Paradise Helmet 1:1 Scale. Anyway, at Comic-Con I found a Phantom cosplayer! Phantom of the Paradise is a 1974 American musical film written and directed by Brian De Palma. With Paul Williams, William Finley, Jessica Harper, Gerrit Graham. I don't recommend altering the voice module. It cuts and drills super easy and the LEDs stay in place.Cut to fit the case. Reply Since there is only 1 unit with that width (5.5 inches) I have to conclude that the C03 is the exact unit used in the film. Don't forget your plunger!
Note that this could be built without the voicebox - just with the LEDs that react to sound and would be much cheaper and easier to build. Mom-&-Pop Electronics stores left that carry these, they're kind of pricey (the C-05 lists, on the LMB Heeger site, at a whopping $78.42 - MUCH more than I remember paying for mine in the now-defunct Electronic City, in Burbank, Ca., years ago!). There are better ones that sell for $300 - $400 (such as the Hyperdyne Vortex 2) if you want your voice to sound clearer, but that might be overkill. This thread is archived. Close. Then the phone plug end just plugs into the voice module. The knob in the movie has a recessed top. Up to you. The C-03 is a little too small. All parts are still available! I used Rustoleum Pro Semi Gloss, which did not hold up well to scratches, as you can see in the photo. You could also paint the knob so it looks closer to the screen in the original.Fit the battery holder wires through the slit in the backplate and mount them with foam tape. on Good Evening, I simply wanted to inquire You Directly and ask You how much You would charge Me to make Me A Fully Functioning Phantom Voicebox Finished & Painted For Me. I chose to create a "wraparound" that I taped in place to make the internal enclosure easier to insert.
They should be centered vertically (when worn) behind each of the two rows of case holes. The key is to work around the speaker so your hole isn't blocked by it. Do you have a photo of your completed unit? If it is too far from the faceplate, you will need to do some alterations.
Then solder wires from the circuit board to the same positions on the potentiometer. Note that you may need to strip plastic protrusions at the screw holes on the holders so that the tape sits flat. Me, AJ The Photographer has uploaded 1825 photos to Flickr.Flickr is almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world. I am not aware of any Phantom-specific voice changer but the Cylon module is close enough. "If you are looking for a Phantom mask, you might find one on etsy or ebay.If you find a source for accurate costume pieces for the pants, shirt, and cape, please let me know and I'll mention them here.
