The image above is from 'Yahoo images' and shows one of the animatronic Rexes from Jurassic Park.
-Orriginally going to be in go-motion/stopmotion, but ILM came along and ended up wotking on it.
- Making the T Rex animatronic(20 feet tall - 3000 Ibs of clay for sculpt) ~ rigid foam casting-sliced into cross-sections-each piece numbered-"put on an opaque projector and projected up 5 times into a piece of plywood"-cut plywood out and reduce it by 2 inches for the clay-hooked onto sculpting armature-spanned hardware cloth and fiberglass and put the clay on-ect.
- T Rex contolled by small puppet rex (based on flight simulator).
- Arms in raptors were controlled by "half-cable-operated and half radio-controlled" (Velociraptors in real life were only 3 feet tall, but at the time the film was being filmed, the Utahraptor was discovered, about the same size as the ones in JP)
- Dilophosaurus in film was 4-feet tall, in real life, it is around 10 feet tall (so people do not confuse them with the raptors).
- was a final draft, rejected by Spielberg, who read it twice.
- T rex had graphite fiber endoskeletal structure, which would later be covered with foam latex skin.
In this book, The making of Jurassic park, by Don Shay and Jody Duncan explain how a film (in this case Jurassic Park) is made. The Author's purpose is to show readers how people made Jurassic Park, showing that it took a long time and a lot of work to make it.An example that supports this main idea is "Dinosaur picture had a long way to go." and Spielberg began to work on Hook, which he "Engrossed in that film for nearly a year. Another reason that supports this main idea is when Malia Scotch Marmo gave the final draft of her JP script to Spielberg, who then said "I've read it twice an I think it's a miss." Finally, the author gives the example "The author of the book has 400 single-spaced the screenwriter has 120 double-spaced." to support the main idea.
These Ideas are simular to slavery and seggregation between blacks and whites because the blacks fought for a long and hard time for freedom of slavery, and then seggregation.
This post made me realize that, inorder to get the cool special effects in movies, it takes a long time finish the film when they have a lot of them. It makes me think that movies such as transformers and the matrix took a long time to make before it was ready to be put in the theaters.
