[@probablyaxenomorph5375]

These videos are valuable not only for the documentation of the process and to give credit to all the people who made this come to life, but they're also incredibly valuable for other creators! While watching this, I had an epiphany for one of my own projects that I've been a bit stumped on--the spiral design for the neck and tail are genius!

[@localgrassfieldboneshandler]

I absolutely agree, this is just so phenomenal and fascinating, will definitely remain one of the best animatronics of all time and an all time fav

[@Owldude000]

This must be physically one of the most advanced robots ever built, and it was created for a movie. Sweet.

[@baconcat9982]

i agree thats epic

[@Ikarugachan]

To me, this was one of the greatest characters to ever appear on film. The first time I saw it, I found it so convincing that the thought of "special effects" never even entered my mind.

[@SebastianTinajero]

Best animatronics on a movie ever!

[@groenfan851]

Ahoyhoy! I usually don't put things from popular classic pictures at the peak of my appreciation list but you're absolutely accurate on that. this animatronic is gottdang lovely, I tell you Whhat

[@SebastianTinajero]

Joe Iffert Prime

[@groenfan851]

Ahoyhoy again, I'm not Joe, I'm his offspring, Michaela,. I rather appreciate old animatronics, without them we may not have had the robotics for some of the medical equipment we have today.

[@SebastianTinajero]

Joe Iffert oh very nice well nice to meet you michaela. and thats wonderful that an artistic vision full of hardwork is now saving lives :D and yes old animatronics theres just something so special about them they give me that childhood feeling of wonder and fascination.

[@groenfan851]

Ahoyhoy! Me again, Michaela, Alias - GroenFan, I'm pretty new to KZbin so I don't downrightly know if I'm replying to the right comment , but I feel the exact same way about animatronics, they just work better in live action films than CGI, no matter how cartoony they look , animatronics , especially if they have a bit of wear to them, just bring a character to life . CGI doesn't have that same characteristic of realism that animatronics do. I bet if filmmakers put their minds to it, especially science technology has progressed this much, could build amazing life-like animatronics out of the old ones just sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Technology can be good, people should use the advancements they've made for good instead of evil and greed. Oh, and thanks for your reply, it really made my day knowing there's other people who still enjoy old technology . - GroenFan. Post script: i am making a very artistic video on my beloved pet cavy, Alfina , whom I had to give up because of my serious allergies to her, the video is under Alfina Clausen Iffert . I have other great videos on KZbin of my visual gags I animated using cell animation . I know its kinda like CGI, but at least I don't intend on becoming an animator who sticks CGI into live action films. This P.S. is getting long and rambly so Later ! OH, Post Script Script : I forgot, the cell animation videos are under well, I forget, okay, just put Joe Iffert In your KZbin search and they'll probably pop up! Anywhom, ta!

[@accrevoke]

The "CG" and animating in Jurassic Park is still pretty much the best... Even after thousands and thousands of movies, rarely anything can be compared to the dedication, the realism of these... parts... they did such an awesome job.

[@civiSapper]

Absolutely incredible. And only a humble genius would say something like “it was tricky” when describing some of the difficulties in the build. You guys made my dreams come to life. I was 8 years old when I watched the first Jurassic Park in theaters.

[@civiSapper]

I meant to say Thank you.

[@DNATruLyricist]

Holy crap same here! 8 years old in theater.. at that age, seeing something like that.. I still have nightmares about the tree and velociraptors to this day lol.. the best movie monsters ever creates EVER

[@hentesgyik95]

I don't think the CG was the best in the story of the Dinosaur movies. BUT.....here the Animatronic is the BEST in the world!!!!

[@KevinSenzaki]

I grew up with this movie and always tried to figure out how things were done. It had a huge impact on me and ultimately my career path. I've been wanting to see how this was done for 20 years; this is amazing. I think I'm six again.

[@kingkazma3246]

I love you guys, thank you for making this world a more magical place to live in! My childhood was awesome because of all of you! Now as an adult and artist I am inspired and motivated to work hard towards my dreams!

[@f_a_d_u_s]

King Kazma wtf...

[@kingkazma3246]

Henrique Gomes ?

[@f_a_d_u_s]

King Kazma nothing i just think that was an impressive answer.

[@kingkazma3246]

Henrique Gomes Thank you! :)

[@gnomiegraze300]

King Kazma shut up bitch

[@paolo-1283]

So much better than CGI

[@Thecarleffect]

What a bunch of fucking CHAMPIONS!

[@StanWinstonSchool]

There is a behind-the-scenes documentary about the Stan Winston Studio on our website. Though it doesn't have some of this T-rex footage, the Spinosaur video is from it and it has many many more. - David

[@StanWinstonSchool]

Jonathan, It's our pleasure to invite you all behind the curtain. Our hope is that you will take this inspiration and apply it to whatever you pursue in life. If there's one thing that Stan showed us all, it's that ANYTHING is possible with the right vision and the right team. -Matt

[@StanWinstonSchool]

Hey CellarPhantom, Those lengths of tubing were part of T-Rex's built-in "snort" function that allowed her to blow off Sam Neill's hat during the Road Attack scene in JURASSIC PARK. -Matt

[@CocoonedBadgers]

I just want to thank you guys for all the awesome work you've done on these animatronics. Jurassic Park has been my favorite film since I was like 6 years old, and it wouldn't have been the same without these amazing practical effects! :)

[@TaurusUndefeated]

Absolutely amazing! I swear, I can't get enough of the movie franchises in the behind-the-scenes look into the magic that it took to create these amazing films.

[@st8sis]

I was 10 when this came out, and like every other 10-year-old, I was hooked. I had the "Making Of" book that I've read an embarrassing number of times, etc. The one thing I never had, and back then it was all about trade secrets, was footage and explanations. I've been loving these videos, but this one is pretty much my Zapruder film. Just that first shot of the tail moving, it made the whole character even more real to me. Thank you so much for bringing Stan's world to life for all of us.

[@StanWinstonSchool]

Joshua Gregory, we're out of sequence! We have only a limited amount of MOLD-MAKING behind-the-scenes footage of the TRex... but we plan to make a nice short on how that phase was accomplished soon enough. We have a LOT to cover... Bear with us! -John

[@TheShadowedOne1]

This. THIS! More and More Jurassic Park! Maybe next month can be Lost World and the next Jurassic Park III.

[@MyAnchorIsJesus]

This is truly incredible! JP 1 is still my favorite dinosaur movie of all time. Given the mass amount of money Jurassic World has made already, wouldn't you agree that there's no financial reason that the sequel(s) to Jurassic World couldn't use mostly animatronic dinosaurs, as this movie did?

[@platinum230]

Yeah, that would be very cool! I hope they make a full size T-Rex again. :D Sadly they didn't had one of those in Jurassic World. But its CGI was great though (they also used some animatronics so that's awesome). xD

[@MyAnchorIsJesus]

Platinum 230 It would be awesome! It's CGI was pretty great; unfortunately, it stuck out like a sore thumb in my eye - maybe that's just the artist in me. The massive screen probably didn't help keep it from looking too computer generated, either, haha. They did use one larger-scale animatronic, and then just smaller ones for the velociraptor heads in the holder-thingies. Wish there could'a been more indeed!

[@platinum230]

MyAnchorIsJesus Yeah, hope they use more in the sequel!

[@TheUniversalVault]

Yes! More behind the scenes from JP! Waiting 20 years for more rare footage is well worth the wait!! Keep it up! :)

[@ChillFrost]

Great animatronix, best soundtrack.... Jurassic Park is soooo uncomparable 😭

[@FallingFudge]

It's just fascinating to learn how my one and only favorite movie in the world hade one of my favorite dinosaurs

[@JoshuaModerwell]

Even though they didn't build and used realistic animatronic dinosaurs like this again for Jurassic World, It was still an entertaining movie to watch!

[@Snake2olid]

***** But they did for use some animatronics for some scenes...

[@jackalriding6309]

This is the closest we will ever be to live dinosaurs. Thank you, im making my own velociraptor.

[@no_uh306]

Am I the only one who REEEEALY wants to see a Five Nights at Winston's game?

[@billybimbo985]

yeah with all animtronics from the movies like aliens and predator and jurassic park

[@JurassicGamer2]

i would pay 2 million for the exact rex if i had it

[@StanWinstonSchool]

Gfan2012, We take Paypal. -Matt

[@JurassicGamer2]

that would be rlly cool to own that piece of the movie i didnt think u guys were allowed sell that

[@WhiteKitta]

+Stan Winston School ....but I want one 2!!! ....you have to make a second one!!! ....get to work, I must have a T-Rexy standing in my front yard... :-)

[@creeperking557]

I would buy the head without the animatronics inside XD the head looks so amazing.

[@JurassicGamer2]

if i seriously had the money how long would it take too make one for me cause i seriously doubt that it the orginal is intact so how long would it take?

[@animaljp3]

dont kid around. These are some of the best robots made, in movment and design.

[@CAREMPORIO-f1d]

Its amazing and máster work. Art and engineering together

[@Mando00117]

What happened to the rex after filming Jurassic Park? All that hard work, I don't think the rex would be disposed of.

[@sampark17]

+El Bambino it broke, the skin rotted and the mechanics all where scrapped

[@DNATruLyricist]

The rex was auctioned off in peices... the skin rotted.. just like real life.. nothing left but the skeleton..

[@StanWinstonSchool]

I'm afraid that JP4 is currently on hold. We're hoping for the best. - David

[@awormnamedscoobis3419]

Stan Winston School this comment aged fast, lol.

[@sepiasmith5065]

this is so impressive

[@Sagasaurus]

I wonder why Spielberg initially told Stan Winston School that the T-Rex wouldn't get wet when that was a key component in the story.

[@cockpitlife737]

Great

[@schattentaenzerin]

I can't stop imagining, when it's almost fully done, to be the first to walk into the room in the morning and switch on the light and see it. It would probably give me a heart attack 😅

[@roquefortfiles]

I was blown away by your work on the Rex for this film. I had never seen hydraulics move with such fluidity. You were able to create the very small nuanced "Searching and thinking" movements for the rex. If Jaws were made today i would have loved to see what SWS could have done for a full sized hydraulically activated Great White Shark. Would you have been able to fully program a move and then repeat it exactly for each take?

[@ManlyJack]

So none of this footage is on the DVD/Blu-Ray Extra features? And I just bought the 6 Disc Trilogy pack!

[@TheOriginalE41]

I wanna watch Jurassic Park now

[@ashkanikov3269]

can someone enlighten me how the tail works at 2:20?

[@PIRONSK8TV]

PERFECTO!!!, SON MUY BUENAS LAS ARTES CREATIVAS QUE HACEN. ES UN SUEÑO SER PARTE DE ESO.

[@StanWinstonSchool]

btrf021, As a matter of fact, JP 4 is currently in the works! Check out the Jurassic Park 4 IMDb page for more details. -Matt

[@GloatingLibra]

Too much work in the backstage for make one of the greatest movies ever, un piece of art

[@ErnieNabe]

This is why I'm no that excited for Jurassic World.. You can't compare CGI with all this special effects work!

[@RayOddname]

I heard they still used animatronics in it! :)

[@SpookyKabuki2.0]

I agree with you 110 %!!

[@christianfleetwood1735]

even if they were to make a full size animatronic, there would be no way that it would compare to this! This is just a work of art!!

[@SpookyKabuki2.0]

The hydraulic system within the Rexy is what's scary.

[@SpookyKabuki2.0]

I heart Stan Winston School of Art.

[@cassandradurose5298]

OMG u guys r amazing I wish I could say I'd had part in building that.I love dinosaurs and I love this sort of things

[@ClownActual]

I really hope JP4 wont rely on a lot of CG's like most of the movies today.... I love it when it really looked like there was a real beast there!

[@DNATruLyricist]

Oh it will.. dont u realize, nobody wants to spend the time or money or hard work or has the genius to do this anymore

[@Guitar387]

It's so cool

[@Simbamania]

Stan Winston School Are there any alternative material instead of foam latex? I don't want to use a material that someone might be allergic to in a convention space. Thank you - Steven

[@CellarPhantom]

What or those pipes in his nose for in the end?

[@channelgrantito7662]

Does anybody know where to get foam latex like this kind? It'd be awesome to build a dino of my own😂

[@delb0y1967]

Great job well done !!!!

[@rgmusicom]

What happened to this puppet after the movie?

[@диди-д8ю]

Sorry! I can make mistaks! Bekaus I'm from Russia. It's very cool!!!!! A like the dinosaurs! End I 'm happy!!!

[@vishalt2008]

Great job guys

[@AlphaProto]

Maybe because it was filmed in the rain? The wet look might have added some more life too it. Sort of like how when they shoot night shots in the city they spray the streets with water.

[@gamingteamatharva4437]

Salute to you all because if you don't make it real estate then We would not let to see jurrasic park

[@StanWinstonSchool]

Each job is different, Aliyah, but the T-Rex took months. - David

[@TheTremaineTrain]

Awesome Video!

[@Siureivax]

Will the JP4 use Stan Winston School animatronics like this to?

[@groenfan851]

Ahoyhoy! I truly admire all the hard work that was actually physically put into this amazing work of art! I'm sure those CGI raptors from the new picture had a bit of work put into them, oh who am I joshin'? the damn computer monitors are the only ones doing their jobs these days. but this animatronic just fits in live action. even Splinter the rat and his adolescent reptiles were more believable than CGI! know why? because they were literally human on the inside, lifelike movement is a must for live action, and though they were not as well modeled as Rexie here, animatronics of any sort like ALF, and the Sinclair's just fit live action because they were actually in the room and existent in front of the camera. can CGI raptors do that? nope!

[@StanWinstonSchool]

We certainly hope so, Zpartan117John. - David

[@bebedeluz]

Amazing man

[@subron6er]

WoW, great video, cool stuff........... thanks.

[@faizansait]

sir, will there be animatronic dinosaurs in JP4? if not please do something that there will be animatronic dinosaurs from StanWinstonSchool!! it would just be all the more amazing and watchable.

[@parisreevesparpar832]

Cool ☺

[@glenktv]

is the ratio of cgi to practical going to be about the same as the previous JPs? I'm still a super fan of practical, even though it's getting harder to tell, with CGI continuing to evolve...

[@animaljp3]

a little big, t rex was 13 feet tall and had a 5 foot skull, this is 20 feet tall with a 6 foot skull

[@letsdraw8062]

Where did you get those numbers?

[@landoplayz9774]

All dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are genetically modified in some way so it doesn't matter maybe Jurassic Park wanted the rex bigger so it could make more profit It's not just a dino sanctuary It's a theme park

[@harrisonhurley4761]

Do you make any trexs now? Like I would be a small scale rex head to put on my wall or something

[@XLuongo]

If I was a millionaire, I would buy one T. Rex like this.

[@astiagustina6374]

Good job..

[@ralphjewellouisedela]

gooooo!trex!

[@StanWinstonSchool]

Hmm, may want to ask a paleontologist. - David

[@matti846]

where do the props go when the movie is done?

[@HouseClarkzonian]

This didn't survive.

[@sofiav4353]

do you know why?

[@Triple070007]

It's made of foam and was in the rain during filming so it deteriorated. It's not built to last beyond the movie

[@aliyahwall8079]

How long does it take you to do this things

[@Boss_Bueno]

I wish that these people would help me on the amateur movie I am making

[@Mithrandir87]

I have a question is that the natural size of a T Rex?

[@iclynnx]

Julio Llanas I may be 4 years late, but, yeah, I think the T. Rex was around that size. They are gigantic creatures.

[@rainpooper7088]

Icy Pawz They were a little smaller than the one in the movie, but not by much.

[@GamerDragonflyLP]

Yes :)

[@rgdelacruz9136]

I think in the Jurassic world they will focus on efects

[@yagogbi2]

Hey! place making of the puppy t-rex everybody wants see. is an animatronic wireless and interesting, the people who is a fan, we will see the construction of it. eternally fan of stan winston

[@RavenFaust]

wow

[@davidkeresztes7723]

What is that?

[@kathymain578]

When Rexy moved her head up and down, for a brief second I wondered why she wasn't roaring...

[@ericcarter4333]

Sound effects

[@luckysi9558]

Whatever happened to the giant robot T. Rex they built for Jurassic Park and then never used again?

[@ruairidhcreez8104]

Next year JPIV will be released.

[@lopesluizh]

Hoje ninguém faz um trabalho desses. Os computadores fazem todo o serviço.

[@moveaxebx]

With puppets you can get better texture and it fits better with environment do to pure light physics. But motion is still robotic and there's no avoiding that problem. Every time when shot was made with animatronics it's very obvious. Motion is stepped and nowhere near as curvy/natural as you get in CG animation or motion capture. What made JP possible and so successful was computer graphics. That scene when T-rex breaks the fence and you see his whole body moving left me jaw dropping. That scene alone had the most biggest impact on me in the history of cinema. If a was a producer, I would always go full CG, but I would force good post production to better blend models with the environment.

[@StanWinstonSchool]

Well...DMT...uh...nevermind. - David

[@SpookyKabuki2.0]

I don't know why, but Will Ferrell looks like the rex...lol, same eye shape.

[@joshuasiden9957]
