There is still no other interpretation of a living t-rex I can imagine today that’s better than this one. Stan’s team nailed the authenticity and conceptualization of this creature on every square inch of its body. After more than 30 years, it’s still absolutely breathtaking to see on the big screen.

[@gojifankotm7927]

I can't even imagine how incredible it must have felt to just even be AROUND that thing. To be in the presence of the full scale replica of the dinosaur tyrant king . . .

[@lennysavino5701]

In my opinion, the T-Rex in Jurassic Park is Stan Winston’s crowning achievement in special effects. What he and his company achieved is unbelievable. A 40 foot, 9,000 lb animatronic T-Rex. Who builds something like that and expects it to work? Well it did. It worked beautifully.

Simply amazing, this blows any CGI out of the water, the undertaking is just behemoth. I know people have already said this and I feel the need to harp on about it, but I REALLY miss films like this, the eighties and to some extent early nineties were a real golden era of film for me. I'm only 28, but I finally understand what 'old' folk mean when they say 'They don't make them like they used to'!

[@Apaleutos24]

Winston's contribution is undoubtedly remarkable. He did not just revived dinosaurs for cinematography purposes, but he resurrected them in ways that we couldn't have imagined! Two decades later and documentaries, as well as each and every subsequent display of them in any other unrelated films to JP franchise, happens to represents them, exactly as Stan envisioned them. In every aspect, in dozens of post Jurassic Park films & animal documentaries they look and are based on his careful and detailed research on them. Stan you did not just created, you inspired!

[@Swalexbass]

Incredible... I personally think the original 1993 Jurassic Park T-rex looks way better than the CGI versions in Jurassic World.

[@ernestmoulin8962]

Well not in every plans, the animatronic version make it sound like it's really here, but there's a limitation in the movements, so you can see it's fake sometime. With CGI, it's the inversion.

Cam Wrecker I am pretty sure that they would very much like to tell us about JP4, but if they are part of that project they probably also have very strict rules in terms of what they are allowed to tell the public and the project is most likely at a stage, where they are not allowed to say much. This is not their call to make :) Also I am not really sure, what they could say to your question. I honestly think that every moviemaker will tell you that their movie is quite good, at least he will say so while filming it and right afterwards, and this is not just because of allegiance to the company and the ticket sale and so forth. I also think it is because of the fact, that having been working on such a large project as a movie production, I believe you feel a sense of pride and self satisfactory from having actually completed the production. Over time many directors look back at their productions and sometimes they realize that it was terrible and sometimes they just realize small things they could have done better. IN SHORT :) I believe the answer to your question is that they think it will kick ass very much indeed :)

[@81StrangeFruit]

the material they used to create the skin of the dino decomposes in a year or maybe 2 years (max) but the "skeleton" is really durable, so in 1996-7 they had to recreate the skin again to shoot the "Jurassic Park-The Lost World). I suppose that what is left of the dino is now stored in Universal Studios...

I've yet to figure out if the t-rex animatronic was actually used in the final version of JP1, or if it was rather totally replaced by CGI due to trouble encountered with animatronic working under rain. Additionally, what was the static model used for? To build the skin of the animatronic?

[@harrier331]

jumpjack2 it was used in the final version, CGI at the time was mostly poor, if you watch the film closely you cal tell that they used this dino, there is a video somewhere of them filming it but i cant remember where.

[@Crixe]

jumpjack2 it was used in the original they just had to dry the skin off a lot but it was used for scenes like when it looked into the Jeep that was real, they used a bladder system to create the eye dilation. The issue was when it got wet they had to cut dry it off then keep going, because it would start to shake under the finely tuned weight and servos operating it's movement. Most of the close ups were practical effects. Only 4 minutes of the movie was done using CGI the rest was all practical (about 14 minutes of dinos in the whole movie rest was just amazing actors doing their best). It's the things you can't see that are the most scary.

pablolara125 : I'm old school and have spent so much time outdoors and as a zookeeper, and eventually as a cop, I can tell what's CGI and what's real.

[@KingGOJ12034]

This movie made me fall in love with dinosaurs! Especially the T-Rex!!

[@AKSourGod]

I love coming back to this video! It’s crazy how much of an imprint the original JP movie has done on my mind. Big Bravo to the team at Stan Winston Studios! 💪🏾💯‼️

Greatest thing about this T-Rex is that when I look at this now...it still looks AMAZING. I was a huge dinosaur enthusiast as a child (still one now), and back in 93, I was 11 years old in awe of this movie. The animatronics and computer CGI used for this movie for its creatures still looks better then 98% of the creatures/etc you see in current movies today, which says something. Absolutely breathtaking and to go with it, my most beloved Dinosaur of all time.

[@MelonOfficial760]

Cool sculpting t rex

[@stevie68a]

Beautiful work. The result, of course, can be seen in the movie. This thing is alive!

[@reginareece7081]

I don't know why people just insist on poking fun at Rexy's arms, of course by dino size standards they were tiny, but I bet those things could do to an adult human even more damage than what a Kodiak bear's paws can do...

[@patstaysuckafreeboss8006]

No

[@kyle857]

They were pretty strong.

[@nope3337]

They lifted about 1.6 tons!

[@brad2718]

This just proves that animatronics are better than any amount of CGI could bring

[@comatosofico]

It's all artists, all of them!

[@Dinnemi]

can’t imagine how they mold that !!

[@polanialmoni6274]

aren't they genius?!!

[@interestingchannelname8684]

Polani Almoni no they’re not this has been done before this movie was made

[@athinaarmym2238]

BossMan Gameplays nope

[@StanWinstonSchool]

True~ You're in good company. Movie fans are crazy about this franchise of REAL LIFE monsters. Maybe that's why we were so scared by it all. Of course, the movie-making feat was crazy. And that's why WE at the school are so glad to be able to share it with you guys who were sitting in those theatre seats in '93. Welcome here! - John

[@prodigytl126]

This is just amazing work. Literally bringing your imagination and dreams into the real world. These guys are hands down the best in the industry

[@magnum1165]

How long in total did it take from start to finish making the T-Rex?

[@StanWinstonSchool]

magnum1165 The whole process, from start to finish, took 16 weeks to complete. - Balázs

[@Lagerfeld2008]

Stan Winston School have you footage , or can you explain how you made the skin ? you had a big positive Mold and filled foam in it? i dont get it

[@user-zv5ve7zm1w]

Stan Winston School Is this the same size of a real trex? because in this video it looks bigger than it's skeletons.

[@msul78]

This attention to detail is what made this movie epic, Thank you for my childhood. And all this work still holds up beautifully on the Bluray version of the film.

[@ndrinks]

Cutting the 1/5 scale model into slices and projecting them to make larger copies is brilliant. Reading The Making of Jurassic Park book was what got me into model painting when I was about 12. I'll never forget spending days and days of the school holidays painting and then gluing each individual tiny dreadlock onto that Predator's head (and often my fingers too), it seemed like I would never finish it but the end result was totally worth it :-)

[@wolfcrespo]

Is this up on display somewhere?

[@interestingchannelname8684]

Wolf Crespo nope

[@luanagrifoni3996]

Wow

[@chriscater]

no wonder the dinosaurs from jurasic park's looked so real despite it was in 1993 not like today's crappy cgi... the amount of work put into creating this truly brought master piece

[@paulstovall3777]

I just pray to goodness that someone exhibited the good sense to preserve this wonderful masterpiece of creation instead of destroying it.

[@jollygoodfellow3957]

This probably weighed more than a real t rex.

[@CsquidyC]

Nope. T-rex weighted 7..... tons.

[@tyquanregicide4881]

CsquidyC Tell me, how do you know that?

[@jollygoodfellow3957]

A T-Rex is longer and taller than an adult male african elephants, so it's mass would roughly be 1.25x to 1.5x the mass of them.

[@tyquanregicide4881]

Ok so Michael has given a much more logical reasoning to this. But, where is the physical evidence behind this? Its just assumptions.

[@jollygoodfellow3957]

Since we know the density of a comparably-sized animals such as elephants, and the principle of the square-cube law, we can closely approximate a T-Rex's weight and mass through mathmatics. Or, you know, we could chop up a bunch of elephants and stick them together to look like a T-Rex and see how much it weighs.

[@MissJazzDaFunk]

She's beautiful.

[@sonnyrikhi]

it was the best design ever appeared on silver screen. beyond excellence

[@jimidrix15]

they put so much effort into to it and thats why it's still the best special effects film made

[@rosemaryskiba1640]

2019 anyone

[@NoOne-bm2mb]

Wait.... Animatronic!?!? O_O

[@Alph4kas]
