Howdy. This twist on an Old West epic is incredibly high tech.

The Western genre is famous for it’s super-tense standoffs – perfect if you robot actors are a little stiff.

What you’ll need:

• A micro:bit, battery pack and micro USB cable, plus a suitable computer for programming.
• 1 small servo motor (eg a SG90 3,3v servo)
• 3 crocodile clip leads.
• 3 breadboard jumper wires.
• Some LEDs. Get a selection of colours if you can.
• Some 100 ohm resistors

This mini movie uses servos to move the arms and head of the actors in this scene but if you want to add a little bit of realism to the scene,  LEDs are great for showing things like bullet impacts.

In modern films special effects are done by computer, but there are still some film directors that like to use practical effects like this when they can. What sort of art jam director will you be?
