Lots of comments about the CGI (which was definitely incredibly impressive for its time and still looks good today), but I also want to talk about the acting/commitment to believability as a "real" documentary. I was always fully convinced by his reactions as a kid that he was genuinely interacting with these creatures. Plus the conversations/interactions with the boat crew and camera men really help sell this series.

The practical models and effects for the creatures in this series are simply incredible for their time. I love how they went to the extent of giving Nigel the ability to interact with physical versions of the monsters as opposed to just simply CG. So much effort was put into this production you can tell.

this is actually the best CGI ive ever seen.. not because its the best modeled or anything. But because of all the secondary techniques they use. They first show the animals at inopportune angles suggesting they dont have the best camera-shot at first. These details make this show feel extremely realistic.

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

Here's a bit of science update for everyone: 1. Nigel went to see the SMALL Sea Scorpions. There are ones bigger than him during this time. 2. Not only were those Nothosaurs about half the size of the bigger ones, but so is that Cymbospondylus he ran into! 3. Dunkleosteus was a bit shorter than that, but the jaws were no less impressive. 4. The Megalodon was somehow even larger than what was depicted here and was longer than just a scaled-up, stocky great white. 5. Those Leedsichthys were not the biggest fish that ever lived, that title probably belongs to Megalodon, so they were even less safe from the giant Pliosaurs roaming about, and even at that time there were still big ichthyosaurs around, so even more deadly predators than in this episode. 6. Those Mosasaurs fossils show may have been less social than shown here (which makes sense, given that they're basically just monitor lizards that adapted to live in the ocean and modern Komodo Dragons really get mean with each other), since they've been found in interspecies combat having chomped down on each others' skulls. And also they were FAST, with proper tail flukes unlike the paddles shown here, meaning if they spot you, you're dead if they think you're lunch.

Because of this documentary I was actually able to correct a museum on Mosasaurs when I was about 7 years old No I'm not joking If you want the reason, they were labeled as Mosasaurs in the museum but they were clearly skeletons of Liopluerodons. I asked this museum staff (who looked like a college student at the time) about it, while my parents are like "No its fine sweetie, don't bother the nice museum staff" The college student looked at me and then my parent's and said "yeah hes got a point"
