@@blackraptorex2469 I'd love to see a Paleozoic one. The possibilities would be endless. But now that I think about it, that might defeat the original purpose of Dinosauria.
@@cryptidliker5294 yeah me too, like I said it is all up to him if he wants to expand on dinosauria, or if he wants to stick with the original Dinosaurs, how about focusing on the different prehistoric birds in the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic
Your comment about mosasaurs being considered by the media as 'crocodiles with flippers' made me chuckle - I study metriorhynchids, which are Jurassic crocodylomorphs which evolved to live in the ocean - there are indeed crocodylomorphs with flipperlike limbs and a tail fluke! Not related to mosasaurs but it's interesting that 'crocodiles with flippers' did exist at one point! Awesome video, your behind the scenes videos are AMAZING!
I love that whenever I finish watching an episode of Dinosauria I still have those making of videos to wait for. Literally everything You do is awesome, cheers!
Same! I love the shorts but tbh the make of video is interesting because you see the thought process of everything and understand the whole finished short even better.
It seems like just yesterday Old Buck came out and now we're near the end. The Dinosauria series is probably my favorite paleoart...ever if I'm honest. The carnivores aren't monsters, the herbivores aren't docile puppy dogs, even at it's most fantastical the animals don't feel too far removed from being animals. I haven't felt this much wonder with prehistory since watching Walking With as a kid. Out of curiosity would you ever revisit these shorts and make more after the initial 5 run?
This seriously gave me Fantasia vibes when watching the shorts, the music, animation, no dialogue, and the sound effects. And I love the fact dinosaurs (and the creatures of sea and sky) aren’t portrayed as monsters like in most media but animals that all they do is hunting, raising young, and just surviving.
When you said you were 25, it hit me that you are a true Renaissance Man, truly gifted. You can draw, sculpt, animate and tell a compelling story. I look forward to great things from you in the future!
The countershading on the Tylosaurus works pretty well and I especially love the stripes on the mouth. It's also amazing seeing these pterosaurs take off, fly and swim in animation, which greatly displays how we should accurately see them move.
This episode gave me A walking with dinosaurs "Giant of The Skies" vibe and I loved it, I still love Dinosauria and am excited for more, love you work David. You've inspired me to go to college and start learning how to animate so I can make my own dinosaur series and I have you to thank, thank you David. Edit: can't wait for Jurassic World Dominion! Edit again: sorry if I keep repeating myself but I love your work, you've made a fan out of me, i think its awesome
Your work is amazing, I don't understand how a guy can be amazing like you, you seem to love what you do even more amazing, if you ever created a game, it would definitely be the Best dinosaur game ever released, congratulations for your work with the animations, you are really amazing.
Another amazing film. I’m always inspired by these “making of” videos and the passion you have for your work. I hope to be able to do work I can feel the same way about soon.
I must say, I really like the way you designed the Tylosaurus. It honestly looks very cute, and with a color scheme that I could definitely picture on such an animal. Most excellent work!
It’s nice to know you saw how your first draft of the video had flaws and knew it how your audience would react if you relaxed it like that. Learning from your mistakes and correcting them to make it better. This is something major movie filmmakers and producers should have engraved in their brains.
Lemme tell you david, i’ve been watching you since the start and my favorite video of yours has always been your love letter to dinosaurs, you clearly love them and and care. See where your at now your making the modern equivalent of wwd and you seem to be happy doing it, i hope you continue your work. Love ya
Dead Sound. You, my friend, have such a good taste for creativity and making this series. The dinosaurs you make virtually and sculptures you created are fantastic and true works of art. Keep up the excellent work.
I really, really appreciate your commitment to accurate and interesting paleoart. I'm full of mixed feelings toward nearly all pop culture depictions of prehistoric animals, and toward many "accurate" educational materials as well. Dinosaurs and their contemporaries weren't hyper-aggressive constantly roaring dragons, they were real animals. But they also weren't solid grey lizard-birds who looked like skeletons with skin draped over them. They played, they slept a lot, and they probably had some wild features and behaviors that nobody's even guessed at yet. I can't say it enough: they were real animals. So I really love art like this series - art that grounds these gorgeous reptiles as believable animals, but doesn't lose that weird and wild spark that animals always have. Major props, David. I'm glad you love dinosaurs.
This guy half my age achieving what I only dreamt of doing at that age. Only one more to go? That's both exciting and a bummer. I hope you'd consider doing more after a much deserved break.
I love your “making-of” series! The soundtrack gives me Walking With Dinosaurs nostalgia Anyway I can’t say enough how much I love Dinosauria and how inspired I feel watching these videos
I love how your voice feels much more happier than in the debrief of you last autodale serie. Glad to hear that this dinosaure serie is less stressful on your life (from what you let us see in your videos )
I cannot describe how much I appreciate these ''making of'' videos. They tell a lot about the idea behind the film and the work you put into it. Truly incredible.
so excited for the finale, been here since day 1 and it's been so inspirational. so much so that i've started making my own paleo art, a lot of it is innacurate and poorly done so far but I'm learning, thanks for the constant inspiration and beautiful work.
After watching the film itself, it strikes me how impactful the music was while not really being mentioned in the making of. The blend of musical tones worked so incredibly well with the realistic sounds of both the creatures and environments, just spectacular!
This whole series, both the animations themselves and the Making of videos, are without a doubt one of the best things on UA-cam, and I'm eager to see the final masterpiece!
Could we get a petition to make Dinosauria an ongoing series? I love Dinosauria so much I'd hate to see it leave. I'd love to see all sorts of stories featuring say Giganotosaurus, Spinosaurus, Allosaurus, Baryonyx, etc.
He doesn't want to make it that way because of what happened with previous ongoing series' he made. They got tedious, and no longer fun for him to work on. That was the whole reason he started dinosauria. While i do agree to some extent, i can completely understand why he doesn't want to make something that will eventually feel like a chore rather than a fun little project to work on.
@@goji5052 I totally second this. As a person who also gets overwhelmed by work, this would fix both problems easily. David with his breaks and us with stunning prehistoric content. Every bloody time I watch one of the Dinosauria series I tear up. They are so beautiful and moving to watch. Plus we get to watch the section of "The Making Of" with David serenading his wonderful sculptures. ;)
As a pterosaur enthusiast, and considering that pteranodon and geosternbergia are my favorite animals of all time, I cannot express how grateful I am that you made this. And seeing just how hard it was to make makes me appreciate it even more. I am SO TIRED of how the media portrays pterosaurs, so this short was such a huge breath of fresh air. Plus on top of it it was so well done and beautiful in the end. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this -and the making of- despite all the setbacks. It definitely was well worth it
The spinosaurus sketch makes me hope there's a 2nd season of this, but if it all ends as the traditional dino doc I can't complain especially with all the hard work and talent on display
David, you have a unique and amazing artistic mind. Thank you for all you do and please keep being an inspiration to creators everywhere. It’s been an awesome ride seeing how far you’ve come.
He just steadily got more and more happy sounding during this series, and I'm loving it. It brings me so much joy, especially since I really relate to David and he is a big inspiration to me.
I never know which I like more from your channel; the animated films you make, or the behind the scenes videos detailing the story and process. Both are really well done.
Honestly, this is my favourite depiction of a pterosaur I've seen so far. so often have I seen drawings of them and felt disappointed because something looked terribly off, but I just didn't get that feeling this time and that makes me happy
I think you did well in giving pterosaurs a new perspective! Definitely very regal looking. Also no! Only one more? I love this series so much, I wish it could keep going but I understand all the work you put in. The book itself is a lot of work let alone the sculpture and the movie,
I ALMOST love your 'making of' videos more than the actual films. Great work! I've been using a few of your designs as inspiration for my own alien projects.
This making of feature really helped me appreciate the short itself so much better. Hearing your thought processes and goals makes my heart soar as both an artist and a paleo fan. Great work, David.
Anything worth doing always takes a lot of work and a lot of mistakes. I love your behind the scenes films almost as much as the finished product. I love the sculptures, the background to the work process and the cameos by your cat!
Please, never say ''wasted'', any time you dedicate to what you love and that is important is never wasted, that time was an investment. I get a lot of inspiration from your work and it motivates me a lot to do the things I love putting in my best effort, so please don't ever say you wasted that time again.
dude this one might be my favorite, even without the dinosaurs, I have grown a deep appreciation for pterosaurs the past few years and this film really helped me cement that. love it dude.
I just want to say that dude, this stuff you’re making is amazing. The amount of devotion you put into this really shows, the amount of effort, to make it impossibly realistic while still portraying so much emotion, makes these short animations unique. I can see your passion, from the amazing lighting shots to the realistic smoothness of creatures’ movements and more. It’s inspiring, it’s fantastic, really. I look forward to more 3D animations by you.
When you mentioned the slow mo splash of the Mosasaur, I think making the splash effect white instead of blue would already make it that much better. It would look more like seafoam as opposed to Goo Lagoon, haha. But this is definitely some of your best work, and I'm absolutely looking forward to the finale!!
Was in school when this released but I’m so hyped. I love these, honestly when I see a new film posed the first thought is always how that means a making of! Not sure why but I love how you do these
I love the making of videos as much, possibly more than the dinosauria series itself 😅 as someone who's never been super into dinosaurs they certainly help me appreciate the series more! I've been quietly following your work for a while, since the early autodale days and after seeing how low you got over the last autodale video, its so heartening to see how much joy and passion you have for this subject. You're honestly one of the most underappreciated creators on UA-cam in my opinion
fantastic work, I'm ecstatic with anticipation for the finale, but also kinda melancholic. Its been a pleasure seeing you develop alongside something you're obviously passionate about
12:48 I appreciate the amount of effort that you put into the sound production of your short films. The soundscapes are always so high quality and immersive!
Theses are all absolutely incredible. I love how you tell such a story in such short time. Thank you for bringing your talent to this app. Theses are more professional than most film and entertainment on the market. These make my days better. Thank you! God bless!
I'm interested to know the thought process behind the wing design. I've seen a lot of debate regarding the shape of the wingtip, strength of the cross-sectional aerofoil, the width of the wing membrane front to back, and whether the membrane would have formed a smooth curve (as in the animated models), or folded like loose skin (as in the sculpture). It would be really interesting to hear what guided that decision making process. Also, Dinosauria has rekindled my hope for the future of prehistoric media, what with the all-time greats either being long dead or poorly handled, and your work in general was probably one of the key inspirations for me to make my own work darker, without falling to edginess. I really appreciate how well your work (especially post Merry Madness) managed to walk that line. And in case no one else says it, the Cretoxyrhina are adorable.
I have enjoyed this video probably the most out of all of the dinosaur series because the animation left me with a few questions on why something happens the way it did, also thanks for getting me interested in Dinos 🦖 🦕
Follow your bliss and do what brings you the most joy after this Dinosauria series, I've loved everything you've done. That being said, I hope your bliss carries you back to prehistoric subject matter, because these are an absolute JOY to watch.
I love the intent of showing people that these creatures were not dumb flying menaces as so often portrayed in films. Its the kind of thing i would totally try to do
Also shout-out on the great mosasaur, my only comment on accuracy is something even really great paleoart does as well, which is that the teeth are too visible and big. In life they'd probably be like living monitor lizards where their teeth are very deeply embedded in the gums.
Pterosaurs, especially those from pteranodontidae, are my favorite prehistoric creatures, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see someone make a film like this which rightfully depicts these creatures as the majestic, inspirational, and weird creatures they are. So thank you very much.
I'm pretty sure I've left this in the comments before but I'm going to do it again just in case: I love watching your making of segments! You said several times how sea and sky was very time-consuming and at times frustrating for you, I know me and many others appreciate it very much all the time, attention to detail and craftsmanship you put into this wonderful piece of art!
This isnt jealousy this awe. You being 25 and the life you have and the skills and talents you have are spectacular and incredible. You are really something. I'm 25 and I have yet to feel like I have any goal, skills, talents or desires. Just living. But that's okay. I'm just really impressed with you
I almost like these "Making Of" videos more than the short films! I love learning about your creative process and thoughts behind the short films. Thank you!
How is it that stupid shit on TikTok like pouring a shit ton of syrup on pancakes gets millions of views, but actual art and creativity like this get neglected? This man needs more subs!!!
I somehow keep forgetting how much fun these behind-the-scenes videos are to make. I had an absolute blast making this one! :D
...can't believe this is already episode four of five.
There fun to watch aswell
Espero que no sea el final
Well... You can always add more.
You truly are amazing

True, puppy dogs are carnivores. People seem to forget that. And angry herbivores are REALLY scary.
@@Maieveryday2 Rhinoceros are technically herbivores but most people don't remember that when they see dinosaurs.
I don't think David could stop himself from animating dinos if he tried.
I loved it, it was gorgeous and very suspenseful. I just wish it was a bit longer, bc there was so much to enjoy
I love how Dave comically spins around with his clay sculptures I think I’ll start doing the same

Also, Dinosauria has rekindled my hope for the future of prehistoric media, what with the all-time greats either being long dead or poorly handled, and your work in general was probably one of the key inspirations for me to make my own work darker, without falling to edginess. I really appreciate how well your work (especially post Merry Madness) managed to walk that line.
And in case no one else says it, the Cretoxyrhina are adorable.
I love these behind the scenes features
I have enjoyed this video probably the most out of all of the dinosaur series because the animation left me with a few questions on why something happens the way it did, also thanks for getting me interested in Dinos 🦖 🦕
The next one has Iguanodon and Pachycephalosaurus in it?! My two favorite dinosaurs/groups! Yes! I'm looking forward to it! :D
These behind the scenes videos are some of the most inspiring ones I have ever seen
5:02 I absolutely adore how you serenade your sculptures
Follow your bliss and do what brings you the most joy after this Dinosauria series, I've loved everything you've done. That being said, I hope your bliss carries you back to prehistoric subject matter, because these are an absolute JOY to watch.
You put sooooo much work into these short films... Hats off you to man. Love you work 🖤
I love the intent of showing people that these creatures were not dumb flying menaces as so often portrayed in films. Its the kind of thing i would totally try to do
It’s so wholesome to see the behind the scenes, where you just gush over your work and dinos!
Nothing is better then these I swear I can't get over the accuracy of this it's also up to date
I Stan the concept works you do. The books and sculptures for all your projects are just amazing.
This series was awesome, I hope we'll see more of these kind of dinosaur animations
The skill you possess is otherworldly!
Also shout-out on the great mosasaur, my only comment on accuracy is something even really great paleoart does as well, which is that the teeth are too visible and big. In life they'd probably be like living monitor lizards where their teeth are very deeply embedded in the gums.
Pterosaurs, especially those from pteranodontidae, are my favorite prehistoric creatures, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see someone make a film like this which rightfully depicts these creatures as the majestic, inspirational, and weird creatures they are. So thank you very much.
I'm pretty sure I've left this in the comments before but I'm going to do it again just in case: I love watching your making of segments! You said several times how sea and sky was very time-consuming and at times frustrating for you, I know me and many others appreciate it very much all the time, attention to detail and craftsmanship you put into this wonderful piece of art!
Magnificant work. Thank you for all this incredible project.
Wow I love these “making of videos”
This isnt jealousy this awe. You being 25 and the life you have and the skills and talents you have are spectacular and incredible. You are really something. I'm 25 and I have yet to feel like I have any goal, skills, talents or desires. Just living. But that's okay. I'm just really impressed with you
I almost like these "Making Of" videos more than the short films! I love learning about your creative process and thoughts behind the short films. Thank you!
How is it that stupid shit on TikTok like pouring a shit ton of syrup on pancakes gets millions of views, but actual art and creativity like this get neglected? This man needs more subs!!!
