Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was like…the end all,be all of special effects?
not gonna lie that still looks intimately genuine
I’m still somewhat convinced that someone sold their soul to create the special effects in Jurassic Park because that shit is over 20 years stale and it still really, really holds up, or better than the stuff in a lot of current movies,even.
Fucking witchcraft, man.
fucking look at this shit though
Literally see this post flying around with a few different responses added to the bottom each time so I’ll say it for this one myself:
THEY ACTUALLY BUILT A GIANT MASSIVELY DETAILED FUCKING ANIMATRONIC T-REX FOR ALL OF THIS THAT’S WHY THE EFFECTS ARE SO GOOD. CAUSE IT AIN’T CGI. AND IT AIN’T GUY IN A COSTUME. IT’S A BIG FUCKING ROBOT DINOSAUR. AND EVERY PART IS DESIGNED TO trudge. IT COST LIKE HALF THE BUDGET OF THE FILM.
fabulous And they had the film it in small increments, and particularly in the outdoor scenes,because the rain topple kept soaking into the ‘skin’ of the rex and would late down and mess up its movements. So they would stop filming and contain a crew out there drying off this massive, fake dinosaur, and then they’d start filming again until it was too wet. Repeat until the end of the scene. They used animatronics and detailed costumes for most if not all of the dinosaurs in the first movie.
The triceratops for instance,was also animatronic.
And the raptors were dudes in suits. I shit you not.
One of my favorite anecdotes I’ve read on tumblr is how the t-rex robot from Jurassic park would malfunction while it was drying out. How did it malfunction, you might wonder?
Motherfucker randomly started moving.
So apparently if you were on the jp set you would sometimes hear people screaming bloody murder even though they were all well aware that it was a giant animatronic puppet and wouldn’t actually, or you know,eat them.
