looks good. ill have to take a trip from texas to nevada

[@froginatub]

Oddly emotional watching the part about swim tracks. picturing a dinosaur walking up the bank and sitting down in the mud really make them feel like real animals to me, somehow much 'closer' than they usually feel.

[@BrianEnghArt]

Really glad to hear that comes through in the video. One of the really cool things about tracks is that once you learn to read them you can really feel the movement of the animal in that space, and imagine them as an individual interacting with their environment.

[@BrianEnghArt]

I've been really busy working on a huge full sized Dilophosaurus exhibit for another museum - the Las Vegas Natural History Museum - so unfortunately I haven't had time to make any new videos for youtube. But don't worry, I've got a bunch of new stuff in the works, and a lot of top secret behind the scenes stuff going up on my patreon: patreon.com/historianhimself

How Did Abelisaurids had Bumpy Heads?

[@georgegobin1839]

Don't worry about it we love your work. Just go out there and pursue your passion and Dream. We wish you the beast.👍

[@captainsnookinc2118]

This just makes me really want to manifest a Walking with Dinosaurs reboot

[@rileyernst9086]

Ain't that the truth.

[@MaiCohWolf]

Awesome work! I loved the puppet Dilophosaurus head! It looked so much better than the CGI you see in a lot of paleo documentaries. You did such an excellent job bringing the images to life.

[@joschuaknuppe5849]

Fantastic work Brian, very inspirational, I will probably watch this a few more time to soak it all in!

[@AniFam]

It’s fascinating to see how they interpret the tracks. This is an awesome video!🤗👍 Thank you~✨

[@Artsy.Journeys]

It's crazy, but I remember visiting St. George around the time these prints were first discovered. A family friend had taken us to the site. The story I remember him telling us was that the area was being excavated for building residential homes. But, they'd had a temporary site set up with tents and such with the preserved foot prints and even skin impressions of the animals in the area. I was so excited by it all. Then a few years ago, we visited St. George again and we were able to go through the completed Discovery Site. Even then it was still under some construction though, as some portions of what had been discovered were still being added. But I remember seeing the 'butt' print and other things. It was so much fun walking through there. I really want to go back down and see if anything new has been added. I envy the Doctor that found all this. What a way to help enlighten hard core and passive paleo fans alike. Sparks imagination and makes you want to learn more.

[@BrianEnghArt]

That's awesome that you got to see it as it was being discovered and excavated!

[@valoriel4464]

Wow! I'm jealous. 🙂What a grt discovery to see in person.

[@Artsy.Journeys]

@@valoriel4464 It was really cool. I still remember looking at skin impressions they believed at the time came from a type of sauropod. Hoping to one day go back down there.

[@Artsy.Journeys]

@@BrianEnghArt We came a little after and during, but it was pretty cool.

[@Luvadoxi12]

So fascinating, especially the connection to birds. Would love to see the museum.

[@paleomiguel]

Briliant, we need more Documentaries like this.

[@robinliesens7983]

You sure know how to get those visitors hyped up before walking through the entire exhibition. Really nice to see some more of your practical effects here, they really pull you into the story. (together with all the other excellent elements)

[@jeffreyseamons5514]

As a Paleontology fan who was born and raised in St. George, I love this place and I wish I could have gone more often.

[@hangonsnoop]

This is great presentation. For what it's worth, I think that you're a good narrator.

[@JohnSaxton-s6x]

My wife and I visited here in 2003 and were excited to see all the tracks that were collected plus teeth and some bones. Then all tracks were outside and if I remember, you had started putting up the building for every thing. I have told everyone I know to stop there, it's worth the time. Great success now and the future

[@dynamosaurusimperious6341]

I'm glad you're back and I was very interested in this amazing 10 minute video,and I love alot.) Also this was amazing video,and I love the talking part,along with the artworks & brief uses of dino puppets,which was also nice.

[@spensimus]

These practical fx man... So damn good!

[@zedbee2736]

Though I will certainly miss the Earth Beasts Awaken series, I'm really happy to see you doing so well with your paleoart. You're an inspiration to the rest of us dino nerds

[@dvd5542]

The flute in the soundtrack is a Navajo flute being played by a friend of mine.

[@octodaddy4494]

Your videos are in really good quality. It makes you feel closer to the dinosaurs.

Love this Brian I’d love to make a movie one day with you Brian and you could bring the practical effects of creatures to life. Awesome work as always. Mike

[@DinoEsculturas]

AMAZING. The whole video is full of valuable information. The narration, the music in the background, the puppets, the illustration, the pictures, everything is top notch. The only downside is that I like it to be longer, like a tv documentary long. Congratulations

[@BrianEnghArt]

Thank you, really glad to hear a fellow paleo sculptor likes it!! Salute!!

[@Sobowa]

Love your channel! I just discovered it a couple days ago, I'm glad because your videos are very clear and highly educational, even better than some documentaries!

[@BrianEnghArt]

Thanks yo!! There is so much awesome stuff out there that TV docs are completely missing! I want to use my art to bring new science strait to the people - understanding & appreciating the history of our planet is important!

[@travisbicklejr]

[@jeffreylemal7432]

I grew up only blocks away from where they found the first theropod tracks from the early cretaceous east of the mississippi.they were found in the hamptons cutter clay pits in the early 30s in woodbridge nj.

[@CodyosVladimiros]

This is brilliant, as always!

[@BrianEnghArt]

Thank you for your years of support Cody. Patrons like you played a huge role in helping make this and other video projects possible.

[@crackedrod6778]

Those practical effects work great! The head poking out was so lifelike. Miles ahead of any cgi exhibit video I've seen. Love the atmosphere here. Plus I learned a lot! Does anyone know how the foot in the mud was done? Is it some kind of skeletal structure with a wrapping of sorts?

[@BrianEnghArt]

Glad you liked it! I pushed for practicalfx because animating things like water and mud are just so hard, and never look quite right, but squishing a puppet in the mud is just fun. The foot puppet is just a hand puppet. The behind the scenes showing how it was made is up on my patreon. Patreon.com/historianhimself

[@drchickengie2403]

This is a video that fills me with determination, it's just amazing everything that has been discovered and how much it has helped in the modern understanding of Dinosaurs. I really wish to work on projects like that in a few years, I'm still a student and I admire your work.

[@javix473]

[@BrianEnghArt]

Thank you Szymon! Looking forward to your documentaryon the prehistoric creatures of Poland!!

[@jiraiyaapprentice5733]

You know with all those theropod footprints it makes me wonder how many of them were social, or maybe even dedicated parents 👀 Like what if we are looking at the remains of a mother Dilophosaurus carrying her babies by the lake to eat some fish :)

[@LarsTonguesInAspix]

interesting, and if i ever visit the states, i'll be sure to visit this place.

[@Francois2144]

[@metalliphil]

Fantastic job w the puppets! Did the ones that were used in the water get damaged as a one time sacrifice use or were you able to get multiple takes?

[@BrianEnghArt]

They took a little damage, but nothing too hard to repair if we ever film with them again. They were made super cheaply so this was expected.

[@majorcheirus77]

Omg I was just in St George awesome job!!!!!

[@Dunkle0steus]

Great video! In it, you mention finding fossils of Dilophosaurus from two different layers in the rock which are separated by millions of years. Millions of years is a long time though, and an animal can change a lot in that time. There must be morphological differences between early and late dilophosauruses, right? Do you know of any? If you compare modern humans to our ancestors 5 million years ago, there're a lot of very significant differences, but I don't know how true that is for different dinosaur species.

[@BrianEnghArt]

In the video Dr. Jerry Harris says the vertebra found at the site is "very similar" to Dilophosaurus. Dr. Adam Marsh is currently working on a paper describing that vertebrae, and it js a bit different, but it is a close relative of Dilo. That said, we do know that Dilophosaurus itself persisted for millions of years in the Kayenta Formation, but the skulls aren't complete enough to say if it's external appearance would have looked much different across time. Not everything evolves at the same rate. Some modern crocodiles and several groups of turtles have only changed very slightly as compared to close ancestors that lived millions of years ago. Some plant species have barely changed since the beginning of the age of dinosaurs!

[@Dunkle0steus]

I am 71 and hike the area mostly around Las Vegas and often upload videos about the geology of my hikes and specifically in this area of time. Can I use various clips and do screen grabs such as the charts as long as I give a credit? I dont monetize anything just a retired geology desert hiker. Actually by the way I did spot some tracks at valley of fire about the size of a large hand and an example I have used your art such as the one around the interdune oasis which is exactly where the tracks are but I also said who the art was by. I have been to Johnson Farm many times.

@@jaisanatanrashtra7035 My colleague Dr. Henry Peihong Tsai studies the hip joint of dinosaurs and other archosaurs and his studies suggest that this pose was well within their range of motion and biomechanical capability. Consider also, that elephants (which are similar weight to a large T. rex) can stand on their hind legs and even walk around this way, and they don't even have huge muscular tails to counterbalance the weight of their bodies.
