Mayor Yėnnifėl of Nylėthia, FC : 2080-2952-1865

Playing animal crossing is my favourite thing to do besides taking care of my beautiful baby girl Evelynn who was born 7th April 2019. Feel free to add me via my friend code and leave me a message with yours so we can become ACNL friends. See you soon.

Okay so my life has taken a complete turn and unfortunately it’s further away from my Nintendo switch but it’s for the better of me and my girls hopefully my little business venture will help me get my Nintendo switch 🙌🏻

I’m so sad right now, had to cancel my limited edition preorder last week due to being pregnant and having to self isolate for 12 weeks meaning money is going to be really tight for us, with Evie’s 1st birthday just over 2 weeks away. Decided to make a sacrifice for my family! Hopefully I can muster up the funds to get a switch and the game soon!

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.

(link to said post about malfunctioning t-rex)

[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.

[perspectivemax-deactivated20181]

@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.

A better look at the maps in New Horizons 

Someone cleaned up the tile map from the trailer and added a grid overlay so that you can more clearly see how much space you’ll get to work with on your island (source).

The second picture shows how much bigger your island is compared to the towns in New Leaf (source).

In the comments of the first post OP included a download to the GIMP file for the image so, if you want, you can start planning out your town like this person.

top 10 preminger moments

[princesswhaley]

Hello! My name is Bum and I’m looking for friends who play Animal Crossing New Leaf! So if anyone wants to visit towns you should definitely add me as a friend :) Friend code: 0619-7097-8225

[moved-sprinket]

All I’m saying is if it’s winter time and the villagers don’t change into winter clothes or shiver when they are underdressed and ask me for some coats or jackets And then proceed to invite me to their homes for a cup of hot cocoa and then turn on a heater or fireplace and then tell me how much they love me and value my friendship then idk what to tell you.

What’s in a map? Since we have more control than ever when it comes to landscaping, what could be important to consider in choosing your island map? The 4 shown in the Feb 2020 Direct all had a few things in common that I think may be features we cannot edit in the future.

1) The grey rocks. All maps have these focused on the northern point of the map, with others scattered elsewhere. Furniture can be placed on these rocks, but we haven’t been shown any confirmation that this terrain can be changed and so they may be around forever. 2) Starting points of running water. We were shown a water tool in the Direct for creating rivers and waterfalls, but we may not be able to move or change primary sources of river water on our islands. So these large ponds may be permanent or there may be restrictions on how we can edit them. 3) Nook Inc. HQ and Dodo Airlines Port Whilst we were shown the ability to move houses and shops, I don’t believe there was confirmation of being able to move either of these to a new location, so keep them in mind just in case! 4) Wooden dock/Pier Since it’s use is currently unknown, we should anticipate that it can’t be moved. Of the 4 maps shown in the Direct the pier appeared only on the left or right-hand side of the island. 5) River Mouth Where the river meets the sea is likely something we either cannot remove, or it may be with limitations. All river mouths shown featured small grey rocks either side of its opening which lends to my previous thoughts on those. I also think flowing/river water will need to connect from a primary source and into this mouth (or at the very least into a pond/lake you have made) 6) Grass/Ground on the beach Each map featured a piece of grassland that encroached on to the beach on either it’s left or right side. We’ve only seen a tool for grass terrain so we may not be able to turn this into beach terrain. All these are simply my observations! But if we don’t get any further info from Nintendo, then I hope they help you on release day

[thetruthisneverfree]

I wonder if you could actually remove a water source pond, since in the direct they created a comepletely new one when they made the waterfall. 🤔

Also I wonder if it’s possible to remove that outcropping with the cliff tool? They did destroy cliffs all the way to the beach. And if it’s not actually higher ground, there was a sand path option… but again, they didn’t show terraforming on the beach at all!
