- We trace the evolution of dinosaur effects in the "Jurassic" movies, from the Tyrannosaurus rex in the paddock scene from "Jurassic Park" (1993) to the feathered dinosaurs and Giganotosaurus introduced in "Jurassic World: Dominion" (2022).
We spoke to legends like Dennis Muren, who was in charge of Industrial Light & Magic's full-motion CG dinosaurs for "Jurassic Park" and "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (1997), and Phil Tippett, the pioneering stop-motion artist behind Tippett Studios and dinosaur supervisor on "Jurassic Park."
Jean Bolte, a texture artist at ILM, shares what it was like to witness the initial CG T. rex tests, which were so groundbreaking they convinced Steven Spielberg to go the digital route for his dinosaurs. Matt Winston, cofounder of Stan Winston School and a puppeteer on the original "Jurassic Park," breaks down the revolutionary mold-making process and hydraulic technology used on the T. rex animatronic in that film and explains why his father, Stan Winston, favored a variety of practical and digital techniques to convince audiences the "Jurassic" dinosaurs were real.
Howie Weed, a digital effects artist on "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," and Jon Alexander, the compositing supervisor on that film, discuss the techniques used to bring the chicken-sized Compys to life.
"Jurassic Park III" (2001) director Joe Johnston explains how his team engineered the climactic battle between the Spinosaurus and T. rex, while Matt sheds light on the process of sculpting and assembling the Spinosaurus puppet for that film, the largest animatronic ever made for a movie.
Finally, Neal Scanlan, the creature effects supervisor on "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" (2018), and David Vickery, the VFX supervisor on "Fallen Kingdom" and "Dominion," tell us how they brought the franchise's creatures into the modern day with innovative techniques in both the physical and digital worlds. Neal describes how "Fallen Kingdom" expanded the role of practical creature effects, including the variety of partial animatronics his team created for the Indoraptor, a new fictional species introduced in the film. And David, coming off "Jurassic World: Dominion," shares the 'digital archaeology' process that his team used to restore the model of the T. rex from earlier films, the Quill software ILM's engineers built in order to give the dinosaurs feathers, and how the VFX team worked with John Nolan's animatronics team to give birth to complex creatures like the Giganotosaurus.
"Jurassic World: Dominion" is now playing in theaters.

What 6 'Jurassic Park' Movies Looked Like Behind the Scenes | Movies Insider | Insider
That rainy scene in JP 1 is truly so dam realistic and to this day no other Jurassic movie has come close to matching that terror and realism. Some indo and spino scenes come close but just dont match
But where did the ground go the T-Rex was standing on behind the fence when the Jeep went over the wall and fell, what looked like 3 stores?
@@TracksideViews yea, yea, just a little detail, doesn't mean it's still not good.
I have a feeling the dinosaurs of the Jurassic World look a lot more fake than the previous Jurassic Park trilogy
@@TracksideViews omg ur so right!
@@TracksideViews there’s an answer to that
What is the most impressive thing is that the original still holds up.
Everything aside from the cg shots from far enough back, like the brachiosaurus shot at the very beginning and the herd and t-rex eating the herd. Those shots need updated with better lighting and textures (those textures were matched or surpassed in real time in xbox 360 games a decade ago, again in real time). Everything else is still top notch.
@@Parker-- exactly, it holds up.
💯
Holds up bc it’s not CGI.
@@Cavemankind_ no way! It's almost as if the video mentions that...
The scene in Jurassic Park where the T Rex attacks is so iconic, it could have not been better with the technology they used back then
It still looks 10 quintillion times better than the new movies. The new ones look like cartoons and aren't scary AT ALL
And it STILL HOLDS UP! The T-Rex paddock scene stands up against anything Marvel or Star Wars have done even in the past half decade.
Yup
@@legitbeans9078 that’s hilarious. Good joke
@@darkshat3077 you’re saying JW is more scary and more realistic than the OG Jurassic Park? Who actually had these dinosaurs act like animals than monsters?
That last scene with the Rex saving the day in Jurassic Park was totally unexpected when I first saw it. I'm glad Spielberg added that scene.
The first move had some things that didn't make sense but it's still the best movie out of all the others.
That scene really doesn’t make sense at all lol. How did it even squeeze through the doors and how did Grant not see it towering over the raptor? It’s one of the best scenes in movie history but it’s also one of the most nonsensical. Jurassic Park is legitimately a top 15 movie of all time if not top 10 and I don’t understand how anyone could disagree with that.
@@Parker-- Yeah, it doesn't make sense from the perspective of the heroes. Just because it's off screen doesn't mean THEY can't see it. But it is a bit of artistic licence. It's not that great of an offender when it comes to plot holes. The plot holes of the rest of the films, starting even with JP2 are much more ludicrous. For example, that film doesn't even try to explain how a T-Rex killed all the boat crew and then got back in its room and locked itself in. There's a missing scene showing raptors escaping from the boat, but since they cut it from the final film, it leaves a huge plot hole.
@@Parker--The T.rex came through an unfinished wall in the Visitor Center. How the humans and raptors didn't see it is beyond me though.
As groundbreaking as the CGI was in the early films, I glad this video also focused on the heroic work by Stan Winston and his team.
Great video!
Don't forget Dennis merrin and Phil tippit...their collaborative effort is what lay the groundwork for special effects as we know today.
The first Jurassic Park, nailed it so much, and it’s aged so well!!
It aged really well
Palaeontology fact for those wondering, Spinosaurus and T Rex never would have fought as they are from different eras but if somehow they ever did the Spinosaurus wouldn't have much of a chance. It didn't have enough strength to snap the T Rex's neck like it did in Jurassic Park 3. The Spinosaurus also would not have been this height as it actually has much shorter limbs but only recent discoveries have proven all this as it was relatively unknown back when this movie was filmed. Also, T Rex as we know so far had one of if not the biggest bite force of all land Carnivorous dinosaurs so the scene where he bites the Spinosaurus on the neck it would have completely crushed it in one go! In the movie the Spinosaurus carries on but it wouldn't be able to. One last fact: The Spinosaurus is now proven as more of a semi aquatic dino so it would not have spent much time on land! Very entertaining fight for the movie though :)
There is extreme debate over whether Spinosaurus was aquatic or semi-aquatic. Regardless, it couldn't have beat a Rex.
@@vishaansingh1019 Well recent studies have given the opinion of it being aquatic. I can share links if you like. There was a very interesting Spinosaurus fossil found about 4-5 weeks ago with further proof of them having webbing between their fingers. Do you have a cool interest in paleontology? I like when I find others that love dinosaurs it's fun :p
@@vishaansingh1019 Yes it wouldn't have beat a T Rex at all :)
@@MaxxadTV Oh, I love dinosaurs. However, I will ask you to hold off on citing Spino links, because they find out something new about the damn thing once a month. I'm honestly tired of trying to keep up with Spino news.
@@vishaansingh1019 Haha very true. Its probably gonna be another 10-15 years until there's an absolute definitive image and idea of the spino
I've loved these movies since I was a kid and I still do. They kicked off my obsession with dinosaurs. I'm so grateful for the work they put into this.
All these special effects and green screen CGI etc nowadays and the original JP in 93 still is the best the director and story telling make the movie
The texture of the skin is sooooooo incredible!
The effects haven’t evolved in my opinion. Yes, technology is impressive, but creativity is more important.
Ew, you are that kind of person
w comment
The "new dinosaurs"
Are alot slower dumber and less aggressive
@Kn rz which ones? The ones from Prehistoric Planet? Hmm i wonder why.. they act more like animals- oh wait
What are you talking about
Ever since I was a young boy I loved Dinosaurs 🦕 💙. When this franchise came out I was in fascinated. Thank you for this post, greatly appreciated 🙏 ❤.
The Jurassic World dinosaurs would've looked better if they animated them with some weight. Almost all the dinosaurs moved like they're filled with helium.
They look like hot garbage in the new movies.
Ya the animatronic ones felt more realistic because animatronics are heavy, like a dinosaur. Helium balloons are not heavy like a dinosaur, makes no sense to use.
@@chrisrichfield8906 many dinosaurs especially the carnivores had hollow air filled bones . makes more sense then you think
ngl the jp1 raptors look way more realistic and believeable than jw's cgi. jurassic park special effects are evolving backwards
Wow.
It's really amazing and cool to see what goes on behind the makings of Jurassic park and how much efforts have been pulled into this series
A big thank you to everyone involved in the project. You guys are really amazing
I love soothing videos like this. An escape from all the scary things in the world, just a video about crafts basically
Equally.. the theme music also adds thrill to the larger than life feel!! It suits even after three decades.
Idk why but when she said "raptor boots" I started dying laughing lmao sounds highly fashionable 😂😂😂
If it's evolved then how come the effects in the original Jurassic Park look better?
Great video! It would have been great to see the Giganotosaurus instead of the Indominous Rex at 15:10 and 15:33 though.
The OG Jurassic Park are still phenomenal in terms of effects. The first one, everyone crazies about, same with me, but I rarely hear anyone craze about Jurassic Park 3’s effects. It’s hella good, both VFX and animatronic wise! Just thought I’d also bring that in the spotlight. May not be the best, but it has its moments I’ve gotta say.
Especially when the Raptor said Alan! Nah I’m kidding…😂
It’s incredible to see the realism behind the Dinos fall behind as we go more cg
Special effects in 93: “let’s use a combination of practical, CG, good camera work, good lighting, imagination, and good pyrotechnics to create something great
Special effects today: jUsT cGi iT
What's wrong with CGI?
@@robinator789 nothing if it’s used well, but in general well thought out practical effects are far more immersive. It causes filmmakers to be lazy and instead of trying to do things for real they just say “eh do it in cg” which is to the detriment of most films
@@robinator789 literally everything. Thanks for playing.
@@anthonydpearson And name one movie in the last 10 years where CGI was used well.
@@vikinghammer87 very few. That’s my point lol
THE EFFECTS HAVE EVOLVED!
I am digital sculptor myself, but those old times puppet and machine works are priceless. They worked not for money, but because they loved their job. It is not just to shot movie or earn money. Making an entire robotic system for single puppet is beyond of any explanation. These guys are the motivation and biggest inspiration for upcoming artists. Really love what they did. It is great that they are still being used. Anyways, shout out to all their amazing work! I think right now Hollywood is kind of fall asleep, and making mostly too low level, or remake and redo works. It almost stopped being an art that makes world a better place, instead it became source of degrading and moral killing machine.
This movie and that scene is a miracle of movie history. at that time... it still holds up in 2022 and i bet it will in 2122.
They've actually went down hill in terms of effects. The Big One is more believable than a ninja acrobatic blue raptor.
Jurassic Park forever.
Absolutely. The first scene of the raptors in jurassic world is so fake. At no point were they ever believable. They felt like they were placed on top of the ground and they constantly floated and bobbed because the mocap people were constantly swaying around. They were Stevie Wonder-ing the entire time and it was extremely unrealistic.
Agreed. The new raptors look terrible.
There's nothing wrong with the JW raptors, get over it.
@@robinator789 They're as believable as the orcs in the Hobbit movies.
@@robinator789 they look fake
They should make a Museum full of amazing Movie Props so ordinary people like us can go there and appreciate the hard work they did just to make a great movie.
Like the Academy of Motion Pictures?
TBH the dinosaurs looked better 30 years ago... they were actual animatronic props and not CGI cartoons
Lmao you're hilarious
The newer movie had more animatronics that the first
@@pie112098 why is that hilarious?
I don't know why but the dinosaurs in jp dominion looks more cartoonish and unreal than the 1993 movie.
HOW?
True. I guess the dinosaur’s customs in some way look more realistic then the actual CGI. I mean, it’s obvious why.
@@waspanimations7037 it is what it is. Check the 1st part than this one dinos won't scare you anymore in latest part because they look unreal
@@zantekgaming5523Agreed. The dinos in JP1 look more real because they are real in some shots. Idk why they couldn't use suits and animatronics for things like the raptors, especially when they're standing still.
@@Bagelgeuse jp1 is legendary
This was so freaking awesome! I need more
Does anybody wonder where they put the animatronics after the movie? It would be awesome if the sold them to universal studios! Just imagine seeing THE GIGA animatronic, and all the other ones! Like put it at the entrance of the Jurassic world of make some changes to the rides and put the new animatronics in. They will make some bank..
I'm pretty sure they schedule them to destroy them later on
Yeah only a few pieces are kept if any
Sigh, they could make some money selling the little things.
Probably scrapped sadly
If anything the latest jw movies are actually less realistic looking than the original jp1.
Wrong
I think it’s fair to say that Prehistoric Planet has outdone the Jurassic franchise in terms of how dinosaurs are portrayed. Hollywood only cares about monsters, & they have only gotten worse at portraying dinosaurs.
Because they only care about their money.
Well tbf the whole point of Jurassic park was to make a monster movie based around dinosaurs and what happens when science goes too far. The newer movies have really leaned into the whole “monster” thing though.
@@thatfishguy4991 correct
Yeah plus Prehistoric Planet is a Documentary XD
It's because prehistoric planet is a documentary about real life dinosaurs while the Jurassic movies are fictional stories set in a fictional universe, it's not meant to be accurate or realistic, the Jurassic park movies have already made it clear that the dinosaurs are not pure because they're genetically engineered to look cool and scary as possible, to further elaborate Dr. Henry Wu the scientist responsible for creating most of the dinosaurs have said that nothing in Jurassic world is natural, what John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters, nothing more and nothing less, stated by Dr Grant.
16:21 Animal Logic also has an internal feather tool called Quill.
I disagree that the CGI in Jurassic World is a step up. I can't put my finger on it but the CGI looks odd and removes you from the story.
The movements look slightly cartoon like
One thing that hasn’t evolved is the writing and story telling skills.
It has evolved.... Backwards
I saw some of the dinosaur animatronics used for the second film on a field trip to Sally Robotics 2 years before the film came out.
Yes, the technology evolved, however human creativity remains the same over time.
Dominion wasn’t that crash hot! Appreciated the animatronics that were used, and seeing the old gang back…but other then that, meh.
15:10 Factual error: That was the Indominus Rex in JW1 not the Giganotosaurus in JW Dominion
Yes, I think that's because the JW Dominion movie was still in cinemas so they have not got any clips of it yet...
@@marcellotenarta5233 There are plenty of Giganotosaurus clips they could use from the trailers and prologue. Anyway was just pointing out that showing the clips of the Indominus Rex while narrating about Giga could be misleading since both are very different creatures.
@@ylihao Yes
“People love T-Rex, so we needed something that could kill T-Rex” -> The epitome of fixing something that isn’t broken…
WOW IT'S A PUPPET!
Though technology has evolved so much original triology is still the best imo.
I want one of those dinosaur costume for Halloween 🎃 lol
Yes, the technology used to produce dinosaurs onscreen has reached incredible heights. Unfortunately, the ability to employ that technology to sell the scene to the audience has atrophied. Lighting, camera work, and the blending of both practical and real effects matter just as much. As the guy from JP1 said: "Keep them guessing." Nowadays, we're seeing way too much of the dinos in the open, in broad daylight, up close. Spielberg was limited by the technology of the time and so he was forced to be conscious of what he could and couldn't get away with. This informed the decision making on whether to use practical or CGI effects. That line continues to be blurred more and more these days, and not just in the Jurassic franchise. As a result, it has become far too easy to just slap some CGI on the screen, to the point to where entire shots look like green screen now. They're alternating less and less between puppets and CGI. It's like they spent so much time wondering if they could, that they never stopped to ask if they should.
I completely agree!
the bizarre thing is that because of this, the early pioneering CG effects of the 1993 film look far more convincing than 90% of the ones in any of the new state of the art modern CG used in the Jurassic World films...
I think your both partially wrong.
@@cryptodino3roberts712 I recently did a marathon re-watch of all the Jurassic movies and I still honestly don't think we are wrong... I still think the effects in the original look better than the overused CG in the Jurassic World films for the most part
@@atomicvinylreviews3420I agree. Fallen Kingdom IMO had the best blend of animatronics and CGI in a Jurassic World film, Jurassic World has the best CGI and a decent animatronic (an Apatosaurus head), and Dominion's affects range from great (the feathered dinosaurs look nice, even though they aren't practical) to weirdly fake (the Dilophosaurus and Microceratus animatronics are so stiff and lifeless). Blue often doesn't look real at all.
All of them are inferior to the JP trilogy's practical affects though.
12:20 omg look for that video!!! need to see it
cg has made the dinosaurs much less believable in in theses new movies in my opinion. They look more like movie monsters than dinosaurs regardless of the scientific inaccuracies . The trex and raptors are so much better the the original than the newer movies it’s not even close . I’ve never believed blue was real she’s always look cg
As they were talking about the Giganotosaurus, that was Indominus Rex they were showing footage of, not Giganotosaurus
The Giant Dildosauricus Wearheadicus in it's natural environment. Truly awe-inspiring.
The classic jurassic park i mean the older version was more realistic than the 2022 version
aNiMaTroNicS LoOk moRE rEaL tHaN diGiTaL.. No one cares. Nowadays they look the same
Facts
As unbeatable as the original is overall, Dominion's Giganatosaurus animatronic was actually perfect and moved smoother than any other dino puppet from before
I agree
I respect your opinion on that but in what sense is it more realistic. I personally feel like both are very realistic but the newer versions give more depth and detail
I don't sugar coat anything. This a great progression into how the art of cinema is dying. The opportunity for creativity in movie making is going away because its cheaper to make CGI models. Everything in movies look fake and rushed now, and filmmakers throw away blocking and creative cinematography to focus and showcase how pretty their digital designs are.
there used to be a museum near me that had one of the T-rex animatronic legs
Super cool
JP is the best and always be
JW and Dominion still good
I thought the original franchise looked more realistic and better overall in most shots.
If anything they’ve devolved. The first JP still looks good because they used a lot of animatronics and didn’t rely on cg for 99% of the film unlike the JW films.
Animatronics will always look better on screen than CGI for some reason older CGI always looks better than modern CGIZ
More like devolved looking at how terrible CGI has been since the late 1990s.
How can something made 30 years ago look better than everything made after it?
I wouldn't say it does, if they were to be compared in the exact same lightning and angles the newer ones would look far better, but Jurassic Park used cgi sparingly and moslty in the dark with back lighting, that helps cgi look much better, the original film makers were very smart
Ehh the CG and compositing looks orders of magnitude better now. The daytime scenes of dinosaurs in the original do not hold up at all. The problem is that even with modern day CG they haven't come close to matching the look of the animatronics from before and also just the general direction and story has gotten worse so you don't really have those tense scenes in the newer movies
It's looks completely fine
Tbh the Spinosaurus Animatronic didn't look great in JP 3. It looked too stiff. Now I know why some of the cgi is cartoon like in the new ones because its literally people in motion suites.
I have a feeling the dinosaurs of the Jurassic World look a lot more fake than the previous Jurassic Park trilogy 😬
Yes broo i totally agree with you i am also not impressed by the new movie dinos they look cartoonish and fake
How
"It's just a guy wearing a raptor glove and reaching around"... NO WAY! 😂
Yes they evolved and yes they use more CGI now. As the CGI was overused, the story became more and more terrible
Cgi has come a long way!
Thanks
Crazy the original still looks better than the newer World movies. You would think it would be opposite. It’s like technology regressed with this IP
Phenomenal 🔥💖
It must be scary when you your stored them and walking in the morning 😂
Great video!
Correction: stan Winston effects legend
when JP 3 came out i didnt like it as much as the previous 2 and thought it was the weakest in the franchise, but after seeing Fallen Kingdom and Dominion my love for 3 has gone way up. fallen kingdom derailed the franchise and dominion was kinda boring and lacked suspense not to mention the plot was kinda stupid. too bad they never brought Spinosaurus back, could have had him fight Indominus rex.
So agree with this
The spinosaurus comes back in camp cretaceous
"a step up from puppets and stop motion"
Excuse me? Nothing in the 2nd Jurassic franchise can touch the realism of the T-Rex animatronix, CGI combo in the paddock scene from JP1
Now we can have a King Kong/Godzilla epic with hair raising realism.
And here we thought they brought dinosaurs back to life. No shite it was camera trickery and CG.
Spinosaurus killing T-Rex was such a middle-finger to franchise...
Good.
It’s all great, and while I admit that Dominon has best effects of the 6, it doesn’t take away, But I only really cared about the first two films in this franchise.
no credit for Steve “Spaz” Williams? seriously? without him there's no CGI dinosaur...
Haha "reaching around." lol Glad that's still a thing...🤣
Can future JP movies do what they did in the very first movie, because all the subsequent dinosaurs in other JP movies look worse than the original
Ross Geller will be impressed 😂😂
JP3 looked the best
Agreed.
How have dinosaurs evolved from "Jurassic Park" to "Jurassic World: Dominion"? They've gotten worse.
No
It's obvious that the quality of special effects went downhill since the original, to me the new ones look like they were made by computers with computers... The original had lighting in a bottle.
Watch Phil’s recent project: MAD GOD
15:10 ? Giganotosaurus? That’s the Indominus Rex 😑
(1:55) Dissociative Identity Disorder/DID? No....
✨Dinosaur Input Device✨
Bring back the foam rubber suits.
Why do they keep cutting to the Indominus when talking about Giganotosaurus?
cool
15:11 it’s not [G-eye-gan-ot-o-sor-us], It’s [Giga-Note-oh-sor-us].
Jurassic World graphics were atrocious! Get the dude who made the T-Rex for Jurassic park back. That’s a real artist!
The latest movie stories become nonsense...hope someone bring this franchise to the right track
Actually,every videos,movies are stop motion
Original movies look better than present
Jurassic Park made me want to be a paleontologist
THAT'S JUST A GUY WEARING A DINOSAUR SUIT!
Dinosaur Wrangler Phil Tippett
4:44 Really? only 15 mins of dinosaurs? it felt like way more
My favorite was spinosaurus
