Was watching Ghostbusters 2 and this happened.

Oh well, we had a good run guys, but the 80′s movie has spoken.

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

not gonna lie that still looks intimately real

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.

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

amazing

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.

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, you know, eat them.

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

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.

This is getting better and better.

Two things here:

- The “animatronics are better than CGI” argument is a bit of a false one when it comes to JP. Indeed, when it came out, the CGI that was used was one of the main things that people saw as breathtaking. Stuff like the first brachiosaurus appearance - we’d just never seen anything like that on screen before. It’s only now that CGI can do basically anything we want that we take it for granted. The reason why JP is head and shoulders above any other effects-driven blockbuster is that different methods were used as appropriate for different scenes. Essentially, practical for closeups, and CGI for distant shots and movement. It’s blended perfectly, and there’s not a duff VFX shot in the entire film.

- I get what yez all are saying about “magic” and stuff, but let’s not take away from the achievements of Stan Winston. That you can’t believe such realistic effects were achieved with animatronics is entirely down to the genius of him and his team. The fact that it was done by a person should be celebrated, not mythologised.

I’m not sure I agree with the notion that “there’s not a duff VFX shot in the entire film” because that first shot of the brachiosaurus has some unfortunate texture warping that doesn’t quite hold up today, but it is nonetheless breathtaking, and a landmark moment in visual effects.
