The decision to make them puff-up their plumage instead of snarling was a great choice, a lot of birds and reptiles don't usually have the facial muscles to do so and it's more of a mammalian trait anyway.

[@mitkoogrozev]

Oh, a rare comment/perspective! I read hundreds of comments here, and they range from people's feelings getting hurt because Jurassic Park reptilian dinosaurs have become integrated into their personality so much, that a scientific update of dinosaurs feels like a threat to them personally, and they try to rationalize away the feathers. Other people go "holy shit, this is amazing", then the next most common ones are "Still not accurate, velociraptor was smaller" even though there's no Velociraptor portrayed in this video, and the least common most epic comments are religious nut jobs that reject evolution or that dinosaurs even existed. And now you are the rarest type of comment : a JP fan that likes this AND sees this as an improvement !

[@hellomate639]

@@mitkoogrozev Honestly, if dinosaurs were depicted this well, it might help some religious people accept evolution, when they get a glimpse that dinosaurs weren't just evil lizard monsters and then we suddenly had modern animals. No, if we had dinosaurs in the middle ages, we'd have myths and legends around them that would feel full of life and magic. In fact, we already do, where doves represent peace, and crows represent death. Both are dinosaurs. They'd see that in fact, the Earth is this ancient, beautiful place full of enchanting beauty, and that evolution not only doesn't detract from it, but actually adds to it.

@matthewenriquez8711mg thought is while they can’t turn their wrists like us to get a grip on the door (the floppy wrists we see in the film are the result of the PE raptors being played by guys in suits), they might have been able to put their hands on the handle and then push down using their elbows for leverage. Don’t get me wrong, I think using their mouths would be a better idea. It’s just my two cents on the matter.

Wow. I like how much more animal like they are. The initial lack of intentional menace really make them a lot more terrifying in my opinion.

I only disagree with the latter part.

[@TheVividen]

This is actually incredible. I'm happy to see so much respect for the original scene preserved while still updating the designs. The models were smooth and their movements just like how I imagine wolf-sized raptors. The "DEINONYCHUS" also was a way more effective jump scare than it probably should have been 🤣

They were actually slightly bigger than a wolf, standing 4 to 4.5 feet tall and 9 to 11 feet long, at least the Yale specimen and the Harvard Specimen. Which is about the size they look here ;)

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

To be fair. The size of these raptors are closer to the size of the Dakota and Utah Raptors. They can stand at up to 5-7 and maybe about 12-16 feet long These raptors could easily look a person in the eye. Deinonychus was slightly bigger than a wolf.

[@MarkArandjus]

Tech has come so far, dude. 30 years ago CGI on this level took a small army of ILM wizards and animators on high end machines backed by a multi million dollar studio production. Today a person with a gaming PC can do this as a project. Not to downplay how cool this clip is, amazing work!

[@mitkoogrozev]

Indeed. But what can be done has also expanded, so a studio is still ahead of an individual if we compare modern to modern, instead of modern vs past. Like how most people in industrialized society nowadays live like kings of the past, but the modern rich people still have completely alien and disconnected from reality lifestyle compared to the average person, so the average person is far away from the modern analogue to a king. The gap is probably even bigger compared to a peasant of the past vs a kind of the past.

Agreed! I especially like the addition of parrot body lingo: raising of feathers and pinpointing of eyes for emotion, in this case, malice.

[@hellomate639]

Exactly! Full plumage, where the plumage is actually neat and beautiful. So many "feathered dinosaur" depictions look like ratty lizards. Dinosaurs were REAL animals. In real life, animals become symbols for cultures and symbols in religious contexts. So many symbolic animals are birds, and birds are dinosaurs. Doves represent peace, owls represent wisdom. Eagles are spiritual animals to native americans. They have that effect on people because these animals have a depth and vibe to them. This depiction borrows the vibe of birds and brings it to these prehistoric animals. I could imagine being in an enclosure with these animals where they don't attack me at all, but where I'd be terrified of them, sort of like I'd be terrified to be in an enclosure with a tiger, even though there's a reasonably high chance nothing happens to me if I act intelligently. This depiction is so SCARY because it gives you that sense of it being an animal, like if you move wrong, you're going to trigger some predatory instinct and be attacked like a big cat might attack you. And Dromeosaurs like these somewhat occupied similar niches to cats.

YES!!! This is what an angry parrot does. Eye pinning and feather raising must be taken in context with other body language. Sometimes it can mean, "I'm happy."

And the sounds they make fit them better than the scaly raptors because they include swan and duck noises. Bravo.

This is by far the best fanmade JP thing I've ever seen and honestly just some of the best dino vfx/animation I've seen outside of big studio productions, it really goes beyond the scientific accuracy novelty and is just an amazing remaster of those effects. The way you've interpreted the shots at 1:26 and 3:14 (!!) is insane, there's so much life in them. I also think these raptors are scarier because they have the disturbing bird energy that I imagine people with ornithophobia feel

[@LucaPalomo-zy2jh]

Love how even the movements were made more twitchy like that of birds. The lighting, the plumage itself and how it puffs and moves and everything else is incredible! And what a great design. This is so cool

I love how some of the movements (especially the close-ups of the clawed feet) have that slightly janky, puppet or animatronic look to them. It feels more like Jim Henson than CGI at times. So damn impressive!

[@Elriuhilu]

The feet were animatronic boots worn by human performers. I'm pretty sure they had animatronic heads in the original movie they could use for closeups as well, but when you see the whole raptor they were CGI.

The foot shots are the original animatronics, they just added the feathered arms above them. Still incredibly impressive though

Came out awesome! I appreciate you basing it on enlarged Deinonychus. Most folks just compare the movies ones directly to Velociraptor mongoliensis, despite that not being the species that inspired the movie version. You even acknowledged Greg Paul's book, the one Michael Crichton used as reference, which instead called them Velociraptor antirrhopus! For those unaware, that book also anticipated the future discovery/identification of larger Dromaeosaur species (like Dakotaraptor or Achillobator), which is what inspired Crichton's larger Deinonychus. Really great work here, very good lighting matches too.
