Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was like…the end all, be all of special effects?

[suicunesrider]

not gonna lie that still looks intimately real

[drtanner-dickery]

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 old and it still really, really holds up, better than the stuff in a lot of current movies, even.

Fucking witchcraft, man. 

[fanboyingoverdemigods]

fucking look at this shit though

[mauridianhallow]

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 MOVE. IT COST LIKE HALF THE BUDGET OF THE FILM.

[mizushimo]

amazing

[shadowthorne]

And they had the film it in small increments, especially in the outdoor scenes, because the rain fall kept soaking into the ‘skin’ of the rex and would slow down and mess up its movements. So they would stop filming and have 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.

[mad-dyspunktional]

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.

[datneeks]

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, you know, eat them.

[alessariel]

Did not know this, had to reblog for awesome movie history insights.

[brainsforbabyjesus]

So, I knew about the animatronics bit but I did not know the raptors were guys in suits and the malfunctioning t-rex sounds terrifying.

And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.

So of course, the power goes out.

And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.

Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while you’re inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.

And this guy hoped for the best and got it.

Some other people on stage pried open the t-rex jaws and glue guy crawled out of its mouth and was totally okay.

[alessariel]

This is getting better and better.

[red-dirt-roads-deactivated20161]

I think they only had like 6 minutes of CGI

[teslasturtle-deactivated2023011]

I’m just waiting for the T-Rex to come to life and leave its stand.

@spinosaurus-the-fisher is this the kind of content you love?

[myloverhammurabi]

Realism comes at a cost, it seems.

[gorsime]

i mean ok but why has nobody posted this:

[myloverhammurabi]

It’s a three piece raptor suit.

[flamingbluepanda]

Old movies had the best special effects

[skafuller-deactivated20180122]

The thing about this that gets my special effects nerd going is the fact that EVERY single dinosaur was sculpted by artists based on the current existent archeological evidence of the time.

Even better than that, this movie ADVANCED our best understanding of dinosaurs at the time.  They were blowing out a budget bigger than anything Hollywood had ever seen, and along with employing almost the last hurrah of incredible physical FX, they had a bank of those newfangled digital SFX computers.  Nobody’d ever really created convincing dinosaurs in a movie before.  It’d all been stop-motion animation, and even when the models were exquisitely crafted, you could just tell there was something OFF about them.  Spielberg wanted THE BEST DINOSAURS EVER, and he figured on using the cutting edge of digital modeling and animation technology to build them for him.

So they got hold of some of the best paleontologists they could find and said, “We want you guys to take this tech that your labs could pretty much never afford and use it to build us the most realistic, accurate dinosaur models the world has ever seen.”

The paleontologists knew an opportunity when it bit them in the ass.  They plugged in everything they knew about dinosaurs, all the skeletons and their best guesses about soft tissue and all that.  And when they’d created those dinosaur models, they had the computer start moving them as they realistically would with anatomy like that.  One guy took a look at those walking t-rexes and velociraptors (really utahraptors, but whatevs, fam), and he said, “Wait a minute, I’ve seen movement like that before.”

He called up film of a chicken walking.  Everyone in the room said, “Holy shit.”

Prior to 1989, the idea that birds were descended from dinosaurs existed–we knew about archaeopteryx, we knew there was some minor connection there–but the idea that DINOSAURS LIVE IN THE MODERN WORLD AND THEY ARE CALLED BIRDS was not pre-eminent.  Jurassic Park changed our scientific understanding of dinosaurs.

That paleontologists’d be Kevin Padian. Who is awesome.

Mindless thought no.5

"You're problems aren't important enough for me to care." that's what did it, with that simple statement it was done. All of that time put into trying to trust you and show faith, maybe you do actually care about me, maybe you actually want to know or even more possibly help. But that's all it took, that short sentence not even a second thought in saying it. I closed off, I stopped talking almost straight away. I knew I was annoying, I knew no one wanted to hear it and that fact that I let my guard down and genuinely thought that someone, anyone, cared. And I'm not talking about cared enough to just asked but to actually listen and give input, that's what I craved so to actually think that maybe you had that and then to hear that no you're wrong. Even something so small so incignificante to the person actually saying it, they couldn't have none that's all it took to shut you down. But that's it, that's all it takes, apologies don't help, I'll tell you I understand you didn't mean it and comfort the fact that you feel bad.. I just can't confide in you, or anyone. It's sent me back, hard.

[more-reckless-than-brave]

I'm probably wasting my life, I don't know where it's going and I don't think I plan to have much of a future. Everyone I know has these dreams, these life fulfilling dreams that reveal paths for them to following. They'll end up leading them to desires that can actually be a achieved through their work.. and me well I legitimately have no idea. I don't know what I want or what I want to have and I don't see myself actually making a decision on it. I feel like I don't have a purpose, like I'm not actually meant for anything. I know that stupid and self doubting but I just don't see how I can possibly live up to anything. There's people that dream big and want to do all of these dream and have all these experiences, but me? Well I don't feel like I'll be around long enough to actually do anything.. maybe I just don't believe in a future for myself and really I'd rather see those in my life succeed more than me, they definitely deserve it more. I don't have plan, I don't have dreams but I hope. I hope those in my life I love and care deeply for find what ever it is that makes them happy, to see joy in their lives would be much more fulfilling than to see myself with anything.

[more-reckless-than-brave]

No one sees. No one sees the immense amount of effort I go through, just so I don't actually have to put any of my problems on anyone. No one sees the pain behind my eyes, the longing in my chest for someone to just see me. See me and tell me I'm not alright, because if you ask me there is not even the slightest possiblity that I'll tell you. I've lived my life seeing the problems of everybody else, I see their pain and emotion when the people that they trust and care for aren't willing or even able to help them. Maybe they don't care or just don't have the time, they could have drifted apart who really knows. But that's the thing. who do you trust once the person or people you always go to for reassurance aren't there anymore? I've made myself strong, built up a walk so thick that if anyone was to penetrate it I'd be lost. I can't have someone that close, I don't know how long they'll survive the constant reasurrence I so long for. I have a boyfriend and as much as I love him more than words can explain, we have the same fight. Over and over again. "You need to start telling my what's going on in your head." but I can't do that, how do you tell the person you love with every fiber of your being that the only reason I don't tell about the relentless situations in my head, is because I don't know how long you'll be around and I don't have that much trust. It's been me for so long I don't know how to let people in. I'll ruin this, like everything else. It's only a matter of time before he asked what's wrong and I won't have an answer I can truly share.
