How These Never Before Seen Dinosaurs Were Brought to Life | WIRED

[@jesuschrystler777]

Something about the CGI in this show that makes it more real than any of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films. It's seriously photorealistic! Maybe it's the less exaggerated movement and naturalistic lighting and environments. I really want to know what the CGI budget was for this.

[@DeeveeL1060]

@@thescorchingpteranodon7986 Well you say that but JP was the most realistic representation of dinosaurs when it came out and it used peak technology as well as palaeontologist advices to do so. It’s just that now it’s already 30 years old and the understanding of dinosaurs and the cgi tech have evolved quiet substantially, so much so that the first movie is outdated on these aspects. Also JP and JW are movies made for entertainment, scientific accuracy isn’t an accurate factor to judge them while PP is a documentary so they better be at the top for that. But in any case I hardly see any laziness in either

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

@The scorching Pteranodon You called Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) which founded by George Lucas in 1975 and has plenty of experts in visual effects including CGI who’s been working for decades as a “lazy studio” and their works as “garbage”?

not really "brought to life" are they ? kind of disingenuous isn't it ?

[@samuraibeluga3749]

It could also be because they came in expecting something like walking with dinosaurs wich, did a similar thing but had its fair bits of action pieces wich were exciting and heart pumping withour losing its documentary vibe. This series was a lot more chill sometimes even a bit too chill imo. But yeah i agree some people online are insanely defensive and nonsensical with their arguments. Some even adopting out of nowhere the stance that "oh its all conjecture and fantasy theres no way we know any of this behavior is real". Gladly they seem to be a small minority.

[@lorencalfe6446]

Well, depending on which film, in defense the old JP movie got less research material than we are now. So we can safely pardon them for imagining dino as big muscly grey/brown lizard with killing instinct turned on every second.

[@thedragonsterritory2332]

Dear@@SetiKt, I apologise. Jurassic Park is one of the greatest movies of all time. You easily believe that the animals on the screen are actual animals. The animal behaviour is very well done in JP. Of course, I was referring to Jurassic World. JW is an ostentatious, boring, cliche bursting time waster. If I may recommend, The Lost World - 2001 by BBC. A television film, done by people that worked on Walking With Dinosaurs. Personally, the most marvellous movie of all time!

Huh... No it didn't? First, adult Tyrannosaurs were indeed fully scaly, their arms were too small to support any sort of wing, and three, this theory was suggested to explain why some flightless small dinosaurs with wings, like Velociraptor and Ornithomimus had wings, Ostriches uses their wings to help them to do sharp turns, and a similar behaviour could have existed in those small winged and flightless dinosaurs.
