Walking With Dinosaurs Homage - v2 / Extended cut

A fan-edit of Prehistoric Planet, and a homage to the final episode of the 1999 documentary series Walking With Dinosaurs. The episode is titled 'Death of a Dynasty'.
As of writing this description, Walking With Dinosaurs is nearly 25 years old, and so some of the information provided by the narrator may be outdated or wrong. I would highly recommend also watching Ben G Thomas accuracy review in the link below:

Death of Dynasty is primarly based off the Hell Creek formation in Montana, USA. To learn more about the Hell Creek biota:

The series is officially returning next year. Words cannot describe how ecstatic I am that we’re about to receive more of this excellent blend of science and storytelling. Really hoping both Branaugh and Barlett return to their old roles. Thank you as always for keeping longtime fans like me endlessly entertained with fan projects like this one, here’s to a bright future for Walking With for fans new and old. 🍷

Videos like these are why I want new seasons of Prehistoric Planet to continue being made, so we can visit the Early Creataceous, Jurassic, and Triassic that will lead to phenonemal tributes like this.

[@germanomagnone]

i agree

[@juanignaciocastillo6284]

I think that late Cretaceous is still perfect. We couldn’t see iconic dinosaurs such as ankylosaurus, protoceratops, gallimimus, torosaurus, alioramus, anzu, megaraptorids, etc.

That edit where you changed the narrator talking about torosaurus to triceratops was genuinely impressive. The calm narration prevented tonal dissonance but i have some (extremely minor) experience with sound editting and can never get this kind of edit to work. Narrator: *talking about T.rex jaws and how cool they are* T.rex on screen: *nuzzling* I love it.

LETS GOOO Edit: It’s surprising how well some of the narration fits Prehistoric Planet. I’m sure the creators were also making reference to WWD at some points because they know we’ve been waiting for something like Prehistoric Planet for ages

[@Goudhaantje1993]

I love that you got a couple of scenes from the other WWD episodes in. The liopleurodon hunting the ichthyosaur narration translated beautifully to the mosasaur hunting the plesiosaur scene. I secretly believe quite a few Prehistoric Planet scenes were already hommages to WWD in itself, like the Triceratops battle including a horn snap and shot of the severed horn. I also love you showed scenes of various animals throughout the cenozoic as we go back in time.

[@Charlie-Charlot]

With the first version I was already running out of superlatives to describe your work but this extended version surpasses it in every aspects. Ever since I’ve first watched WWD when I was a kid I’ve grown a deep affection for this series, from its narration, its atmosphere to its fantastic score but I couldn’t quite grab perfectly why I liked it so much until now. Watching this felt like watching WWD for the first time again, thank you so much for that ! Your work is absolutely brilliant and I have no doubt that you could create a very good documentary on your own. Loved it

The style, the narration, and the musical score of Walking with Dinosaurs are all translated perfectly and blended seamlessly with the accurate animal depictions and beautiful cinematography of Prehistoric Planet!! This is clearly a labor of love and passion for both projects, expertly crafted through incredible video editing!! Bravo!!

[@fang609]

Its kinda funny seeing just HOW MUCH our knowledge of the end of the Cretaceous has changed since WWD and now. What was thought to be a global decline on dinosaur numbers (even then I think studdies focused mostly on large bodied dinosaurs, not ALL present dinosaurs in those locals), is now understood to just be a local extinction event within the Lancian region due to the closing of the Western Interior Sea Way. While globably dinosaurs and other animals were still thriving in incredible diversities

[@PaleoEdits]

The deccan volcanos in India may still have contributed to the dinosaur extinction prior to the impact. Although, I've also read a hypothesis that suggested the global warming induced by the deccan may actually have prevented the asteroid's "nuclear winter" from getting worse. Either way, the volcano vs asteroid debate is still an ongoing rabbit hole among academics. So perhaps WWD wasn't too far off, even if it wrongly extrapolated the volcanism onto Hell Creek.

Superb edit! Great work :)

[@germanomagnone]

this montage of yours is really well done, but honestly seeing the extinction of the dinosaurs makes me sad. I think it would be an excellent change to make parodies of scenes and songs as you have done so far, to give a couple of examples of what I'm saying: in Prehistoric Planet (Season1: ep3 = Freshwater) when the 2 t-rexes "kiss each other" it reminds me a lot of when Simba and Nala "kiss" each other (for me those 2 t-rexes are almost the same). I from the 2004 film "The Lion King 1½" (The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata origin story of Timon and Pumbaa while the film is also set within the events of The Lion King), I would say to use the scene when after trying to avoid the "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" because the comments and the "African romance" are compatible with the t-rexes of Prehistoric Planet. then Deinocheirus when he scratches himself against a dead tree and is almost the same as baloo (only in slow motion). from Amazing Dinoworld ep.1 "The.Feather.Revolution" to the courtship dance of the two Deinocheirus (which resembles big-bird from sesame street) instead seems perfect for the meeting between Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora known as Briar Rose from Sleeping Beauty (1959 film), with the male Deinocheirus singing the "love song" to the female, the resemblance is perfect

[@SawbladeKJ77]

This is so good it could pass as a real episodes. You nailed the little details, and i for sure will end up watching this again soon. On another note, Tim Haines is working on Survining Earth right now, and I'm excited. If it's resembles the narration style and format of WWD I'll be ecstatic. Id love to see your edits when that comes out

[@atryofficial]

I wasn't sure what was wrong with Prehistoric Planet I and II. The visuals were awesome, but something was off. Now thanks to you I know! It's the music, the commentator and the overall story told throughout each episode. This is as it should have been, in my humble opinion! Lovez this, keep up the good work :)

[@PaleoEdits]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the edit! I don't fully agree with you personally, as I prefer Attenborough's narration, and the story-style of Prehistoric Planet tends to be a more honest representation of wildlife, which for some may not be as entertaining but, it is more fitting for a documentary. WWD's soundtrack is grand, while PhP's music is richer. I like both shows for what they are :)

I apologise to PP and LOOP fans but in my nostalgia loving opinion, WWD and its sequels and prequels are far superior to Prehistoric Planet and Life on Our Planet. Accuracy aside, it just doesn't stir up in me the same emotions as WWD, WWB and WWM as well as the Nigel Marven specials and ballad of big al evokes with its darker storylines and Sir Kenneth Branagh's narration. I said what I said. Videos like this demonstrate why PP and other dino programs need to follow more closely in the Tim Haines documentary example.

[@PaleoEdits]

Life on Our Planet has a few prehistory segments, sure. But I feel like too many get hung up on these scenes and start comparing the whole of LOOP too much with either WWD or PP (and PP has especially little in common). More than anything else, LOOP is an americanized remake of Attenborough's Life on Earth. They practically stole the name as well. The follow up series to Life on Earth was The Living Planet, and now netflix is doing a series called Our Living World, so I don't know what's next. "The Trials of Our Planet"?

@@PaleoEdits The chameleon and the cow are what we've modeled our understanding of ceratopsian's on. Yet if you watch a video of how to make a shofar the rabbis will ask "can you make a shofar out of a non-kosher animal?" The question is academic because only kosher animals have horns suitable for making shofars out of. Only cows, goats and sheep have suitable horns for making a shofar. Not the giraffe, not the horse, not the camel, not the deer. They don't have shofars on their heads. The only other body parts you can make a playable horn out of at all are elephant tusks.
