Animatronics can never be replaced by CGI. You can tell CGI right away and that destroys the illusion. Thats why films from the 90s still look good because all the actions were real.
Lake Placid is one of my favorites. In fact, all of my favorite movies had Stan Winston involved. There will never be another like him. Rest in peace Stan, we miss you.
Regardless of how you may feel about the film, you can't deny that a lot of genuine hard work and creativity went into bringing the film's 'star' here to life. 👍🏻
"Ok gents, we're done shooting for the day. Let's get this thing out of the water." "Uh, sir? The croc was pulled out of the lake an hour ago..." "Then what the hell is swimming behind us?"
Guess You Haven't Watch "Primeval" Yet 😅 A Film (Based On A True Story) About This Fierce Man Eating African Nile Crocodile Called "Gustave" 😃 & To This Day, The Crocodile's Rarely Seen But Neither Caught Nor Killed, Just So You Know 😳 Lake Placid's Cool Though 🙂
This movie introduced me to Betty White. Over 15 years ago, I was watching monster movies all the time. Lake Placid was one of them. Rest in peace, Betty. Thank you for being a friend, even to a bloodthirsty monster croc😊.
Film Companies' Over reliance on CGI doesnt make them realize how fake some of it looks.They think that Practical effects like these are just 90s things.Duh some 90s movie monsters look way more realistic than todays CGI, ever seen the Trex from Jurassic Park 1,i hope they Realize that👌
This is what I miss about my old job working in film! true craftsmen at the top of their game. fabulous video , thanks for sharing . I am also a fan of the movie Lake Placid!
I mean, I watched this movie this week and I discovered it has one of the best "special effects" I have ever seen!!! The crocodile looks so real and awesome!!! And you have to take into consideration that it was 20 years ago 💚
Didn’t expect to get a throw back to lake placid today but seeing the process of creating the big animatronics like this and the JP Dinos are always my favourite 💕
This is what I miss this is the nuts and bolts of the film industry, the list goes on and on from my favorite film of all time Jaws, aliens, gremlins, even some elements of King Kong (1976) practical effects animatronics is what brought my love of film they'll always be a place for CGI but unfortunately this type of talent doesn't exist the ability to create a creature with precise realism my hats off great upload. I will forever enjoy animatronics and practical effects.
Wow this is awesome well done Stan Winston School that looks crazy and just illustrates what a Deinosuchus sized crocodile looks like, ridiculously large!
These films like Lake Placid, Crocodile, Blood Surf were my childhood and when Lolong the "largest crocodile ever caught" I wasnt too thrilled coz of these movies hahahah
This is my absolute favorite monster movie all the actors and actresses just nailed it and they didn't spend a lot of time on a fake looking alligator, it's like the jaws of the lake, no but seriously all that was the only one you need to make was Lake Placid 1, also I am currently waiting for that 4K Blu-ray release so come on please hurry up it is one of my favorites, Demolition man and galaxy quest are my top movies I'm waiting for a 4K Blu-ray release
I still remember this movie being screened by our school authorities in a nearby theatre on the occassion of childrens day I was 12 back then and now I am 31...
Such a great build! I hope there is always a place for these real effects. Computers will always have their limits and just don't grab the imagination like these things do. I assume this old croc deteriorated and was assimilated like the JP animatronic creatures were?
That's amazing skill crew, OMG it's like a real, I'm sure, all peoples can't will to know this croc is a robot. Amazing. Great job for the creator crew.

So kool wish i could see it in real life
Szia
@@jolliebearforchrist5468 a
Stupid kool wow that rocks!!
The detail in this is incredible. I'm sure it was a lot easier for the actors to feel fear being in the water with this thing.
Yeah, I'd be pretty perturbed if I was in the water with a model of basically a dinosaur.

Don't care what others say. The casting was fantastic and this was the best crocodile movie ever.

So realistic. If you try to Prank someone with that. No words for their reactions. 😂😂😂
I can imagine if someone is getting pranked and he is gonna stay still and think
"Damn, im gonna die today😂😂"
Ofcourse not because they would die of a heart attack
Honestly, I would try to do that.
Yes , no words, just words from your dumbass mom
Of course it would all be staged thats youtube now. Lame old staged videos
2019 and still the best Crocodile movie ever!
Yes
I think "crawl" is going to beat it
How about Primeval??
@@rodmarsaulaomarabonales2164 how about rogue and black water
richard balicas primeval is more real thrilling and scary.
U have to make many pranks with this.

There's no other way to describe this than a work of art.

Lake Placid is such an underrated movie. It's a lot more clever than you'd think.
This movie introduced me to Betty White. Over 15 years ago, I was watching monster movies all the time. Lake Placid was one of them. Rest in peace, Betty. Thank you for being a friend, even to a bloodthirsty monster croc😊.
As cheesey as Lake Placid is I've always genuinely enjoyed it. I wish these making videos were longer. I love them.
Its crazy to think back in history there were actually crocodiles around this size.
A full grown salt water croc can reach 25 ft long if they live long enough. This model is 30ft so not much different
yea Sarcosuchus were this big
@@ivanzonder5228 They were even bigger...!!!
@@eligebrown8998He’s talking about prehistoric crocodiles like deinosuchus and purusaurus.
Deinosuchus is 12 I think this animatronic is more like purrusaurus
That is truly incredible and makes me want to watch the movie again. I always love animatronics over CGI!
We needed more of this in the sequels other then fake looking cgi
Totally agree
The sequels are so bad they're not even worth acknowledging.
Yes sr
I saw Lake Placid Legacy, it was very awful for fake cgi

Oh man i didnt know you guys made the crocodile for this! *.* lake placid is one of my favorite movies
Imagine if a real crocodile saw this I would be damn that’s my best friend
This is what I miss about my old job working in film! true craftsmen at the top of their game. fabulous video , thanks for sharing . I am also a fan of the movie Lake Placid!
I wonder who got to keep the crocodile puppet.. Totally badass for a man cave or backyard.
No Sleep
Croc is a Paid actor
It’s was destroyed after the movie.
It actually couldn't really be properly stored, it stared deteriorating after just a while I believe.
Seeing this really makes you appreciate the movie a lot more.
Stan Winston and his team are amazing. Such talents.
Lake Placid is defiantly ruler of all crocodile movies. i love it!
That looks amazingly realistic... incredible work!
A work of art, and to think that there were prehistoric versions of this creature that were ten feet longer!
Yes 40 feet longer like deinosuchus
I mean, I watched this movie this week and I discovered it has one of the best "special effects" I have ever seen!!! The crocodile looks so real and awesome!!! And you have to take into consideration that it was 20 years ago 💚
This is why I'll love more Animatronic than cgi. Animatronic is the best
I saw Lake Placid when I was 6 and I will never be satisfied with today’s CGI and animated movies. I love Lake Placid ❤️🐊
Didn’t expect to get a throw back to lake placid today but seeing the process of creating the big animatronics like this and the JP Dinos are always my favourite 💕
I miss Stan Winston
The Lake Placid movie series is awesome and Lake Placid 2 is one of my favorite sequels.
Best crocodile movie ever.
This movie beats every single crocodile movie forever
I watched this movie at such a young age, that Betty White's character protecting the crocodile and learning why had a huge impact on me.
Talents like this are quickly disappearing because of cgi
Practical effects are still alive! - Balázs
Exactly

The stuff of nightmares. And very good movie.
I LOVE that movie!! Its funny, suspenseful and surprising! VERY FUN!!
One of Betty White's best movies, too.
"If I had a dick, this is where I would tell you to suck it." XD
Imagine not knowing this crocodile is fake and seeing it swimming towards you.
I'd lose it
Without CGI there will be a bunch of super creative intelligent people
This movie was way better than the sequels and the spin-offs.
This is absolutely stunning! Props to all who helped make this thing
Thats why this movie look so real -_- this better than CGI
Animatronic is so much better than CGI.
This and the animatronic tyrannosaurus and spinosaurus is pure art to me..
These films like Lake Placid, Crocodile, Blood Surf were my childhood and when Lolong the "largest crocodile ever caught" I wasnt too thrilled coz of these movies hahahah
This is the kinda stuff I stay subbed for! Amazing! Loved Lake Placid, watched it waaay back when it was new!
This just proves they could have put the Deinosuchus in The Lost World: Jurassic Park
I love crocs. I want one. He looks happy.
With this size, you can even prank crocs/ gators big time!
remember 1999 when the posters of a crocodile grabbing a helicopter caught my eyes, lake placid great movie 😍🙏
The making of the Crocodile 11/10, the film 5/10

My dad showed this movie when i was 5, now im scared of water. Thanks dad

This is awesome!!! It's so realistic!!! Seriously, the animatronics made by Stan Winston are always so realistic!!
I absolutely love that crocodile in that movie. =)
right now this remarkable talents, efforts, and hardworking overwhelmed by a few people with computer
God that’s so freaking cool that it’s designed so well it can propel itself though the water I wish I could have worked with this lol
That is truly a work of art it should be in a show room somewhere where people could see it and enjoy it truly amazing👍🏼🤩
THE CROCODILE LOOKS SO REALISTIC IN THE WATER! AMAZING AND SCARY AT THE SAME TIME!
That’s was a piece of work. So real looking.
*Interior crocodile alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theater.*
Well said !
I still remember this movie being screened by our school authorities in a nearby theatre on the occassion of childrens day I was 12 back then and now I am 31...
It looks very realistic, it count be a real gigantic crocodile.
Jemand it is that’s why it needs people helping him out
And too think their are probably a few LIVE CROCS that are this size...!!!
This animatronic and the animatronic for Rogue are in my opinion the best animatronics in the history of practical effects
This is incredible work.... artistry at its best
The people that really make magic in movies,actors get all the money & credit
Compliments from the Kingdom of the Netherlands! 🇳🇱
Such a great build! I hope there is always a place for these real effects. Computers will always have their limits and just don't grab the imagination like these things do.
I assume this old croc deteriorated and was assimilated like the JP animatronic creatures were?
Lake placid is one of my favorite movies 😁
Prefer stuff like this than cgi..it looks much more fun and interesting
Very cool. Loved the movie. Kudos to the amazingly talented crew!!!
Real Croc on Lake placid,nice film very real.
Croc: Yo, did you survive the Dinosaur days? You’re freaking huge! Hello? Talk to me!
I saw the movie the croc looked real , awesome work
Forget pranking people.. i want to see this out in the wild !!🦓🐆🐅🦒🐘🦏🦛🐊🐊
I want to see a real croc reaction to this massive mechanical croc...😁
Good bless You STAN WINSTON.
Imagine being that one person who didn't know that it was a animatronic piece of art when it was in the lake 😂
Modern monster movies need this!!
Wow Its So Amazing at how All these Artists, made this Crocodile 👍👍 to the Creature Effects Amazing Work.
Awsome! A crocodile that big should show a more prominent scales.
that's AWESOME, Where is the croc now?

I would still shit my pants if I saw this in the water even knowing it’s a robot
I WANT IT!!!! It’s so cute and EPIC! I wanna rife on it! I love Lake Placid!
This 'Making Of' reminded me the film #Jaws .
JAW: finally a worthy opponent!
I wish movies used more practical effects this is awesome
i thought the croc was 100% cgi kudos for the guys,really nice work
By capturing the screen, someone then make a hoax news, "30 feet croc eating men, captured by fishermen"
That's one big ass alligator
Omg guys Thos Amenzing! Look guys cool effects
