Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- "Must go faster!" The T-Rex's escape from its paddock and the ensuing attack in Jurassic Park is one of the best moments of the entire film, and one of the most iconic sequences of all time. But, it required a lot of work and ingenuity to make it come to life. Today, Art of the Scene returns to explore the T-Rex's paddock attack, and how it has had a lasting effect on filmmaking to this day.

I still remember sitting in the cinema watching the T-Rex attack.. you could have heard a pin drop...and when I looked around, just about every jaw had hit the floor. Kids these days will never know how leaps-and-bounds advanced that scene was to what had went before. It was like jumping out of a rickshaw straight into a ferrari.
Yup. I remember feeling chills/butterflies in my stomach just like Alan Grant when Hammond said they had a t-rex- and it's debut outgunned it's expectations.
And now everyone has Ferraris.
madcat789 really underrated reply. You’re a funny dude.
I got to see it when they reReleased it in theaters! I was born in 97 so never thought I’d see it on the big screen
I turned to my friends and told them we just witnessed film history. All this time later this scene still holds up. Bloody brilliant.
Can't believe those old 90's computers made CGI like that. Damn.
I know right?
Um yeah, but they weren't any random PCs......SGI Workstations were used.......
I'll never forget my aunt bringing me and my sister to see this opening night at the movies in 1993 and I can tell you it was absolutely amazing. As a kid I was mesmerized I was convinced they were real dinosaurs. When this scene started and the Rex showed itself for the first time everybody in the theater almost shit their pants, and the sound when it roared was deafening felt like the whole place was vibrating, it was an awesome experience I'll never forget as a kid.
This movie still stands up quality wise. Better than many movies made later. Because Spielberg is a goddam genius film maker bringing the best out of people.
Also the book was good, lets not forget that! ;)
Great video. Jurassic Park is still to this day the best cinematic experience I've had. There have been better films but nothing matches the scale and craft that went into this film. As an 8 year old obsessed with dinosaurs it simultaneously thrilled and scared the shit out of me.
I wish I had experienced it in cinema!
Same!
Well said! I was 12 when this came out in 93 and could not have hit at a better time for me. The T-Rex attack left me temporarily traumatized in the best way possible :) I saw it 9 times in the theater - no joke!
I was 6 when I first saw this masterpiece! It gave me the best nightmares 😃
Agreed. The sense of awe of seeing that first Jurassic Park in theater has never been matched. It was truly larger than life.
The sad thing is Jurassic Park CG and special effects look much better than many modern movies.
true
you’re so damn right.
Scully wow are you blind? What an idiot.
yeah, it stands up to most of them that's for sure. What a film.
That's because whilst the cameras and resolution got better, the animations did not.
My favourite story about the Paddock scene is the fact that the part where the T-Rex goes for the kids and cracks the window. The kids were screaming for real because the glass wasn't meant to crack like that - it was just the weight of a huge ass metal dinosaur.
Most of those screams came from the risk management lawyer seeing his career flash before his eyes
@DanRage47 Poor Rexy
It was her first major role in 65 million years
Honestly i don't believe that. No way they'd get away showing what amounts to child abuse. Like, it probably happened, but it wasn't the scene that made the final cut.
@@krispykremes2482 Yes, it was. The rain caused Rexy's head to collide with the unbreakable glass & one of her teeth came loose, causing the kid actors playing Tim & Lex to scream for real, because the accidental slip up wasn't intended to happen.
First art of the scene video that actually gave me goosebumps. The ammount of heart, hard work, passion and intelligence put into the film is moving. I gotta watch this movie again now
Blu-Ray making of features are dying, but thankfully Cinefix is there to pick up the slack.
sadly so is dirters commtarey i was very uset there none on force or roge one
This is so true yet sad at the same time.
I remember when DVDs first came out and they were full of special features.
I'm pretty sure most of this (footage, basic story behind the commentary) came from the Jurassic Park Blu-Ray "Making of" featurette, which was something like 45 minutes long.
@@23DEATHNUMBER spielberg himself pioneered the no commentary thing. he has almost never done a single one for his films. refuses.
Nothing beats Jurassic park's incredible creatures.
I'll always live happily knowing I was there to witness this cinematic revolution when it came out.
Complete classic. It's been decades and I'm just NOW starting to see some of the cracks.
The fact that the scene has no music at all really adds to the thrill and suspense. We are so used to music telling us when to be scared that when it doesn't, it messed up with us.
Man this still looks amazing!!! This film will never age!
I've missed Art of the Scene... Thank you for bringing it back!
The paddock scene is perhaps the greatest scene in cinema history. The entire scene is just a huge flex for the SFX team. That dilated t-rex pupil always wows me.
In my opinion, Jurassic Park has the best CGI of all time. It's almost 25 years old and it still looks great. Unlike movies like The Avengers which looks dated the following year.
07foxmulder I didn't know the jeep that's flipped over was CGI
MarineHulk Same.
Sheepskin Mcgrue I gotta call bull, have you seen the orcs in Warcraft, or any time marvel decides to de-age their actors? Hell, look at David Fincher, many of his films use CGI to stupid degrees, but we don't notice it due to how realistic it looks. But your point does stand, as examples like this are easy examples of it.
Sheepskin Mcgrue I'm not saying technology is worse, I'm saying Jurassic Park didn't over blow the usage of CGI like Avengers or Lord Of the Rings. The CGI in JP still stands today. Some of the shots are flawless.
It's harder to convince me of a big green man as opposed to what? A big green dinosaur? Lol
07foxmulder watch the social network, believe it or not but that movie has more visual effects shots then Godzilla, and you probably would have never known, or be able to tell which ones.
This is a beautiful example of cgi and practical effects used together. Also the T rex's roar is just so damn iconic, first time I heard it as a kid it scared the crap out of me.
It's hard to believe while all this was going on, Spielberg was ALSO the Executive producer for Animaniacs on the side. Simply nuts.
Totally zany
@@Misslovelyrita3 LOL. Yes, it is.
I literally understood nothing of what you just told me. I have absolutely no idea what all of these words mean but I can’t stop watching it and I can’t believe how much work went into this.
"The character had to feel 100% real or the film, just, did not work" - Somebody should have said that to the creators of Jurrasic World.
Somebody should have said this to the creators of Jurassic World about the human characters too tbh. >_>
Someone should nearly always be around to say that and hardly ever is.
And to almost every CGI film producer since then
Dont forget about Fallen Kingdom, gosh that movie is awful
@@trompodearrachera1284 Why? Whats wrong with it? The dinosaurs look perfect
Another reason to love this film is the crew's hardwork, passion and dedication on making this cinematic masterpiece.
YES! I've been missing these videos! Art of the Scenes are the best!
Dude, that's Adam Jones from Tool at 3:09
Oogly_BooglyBoo I thought I saw him. Did a double take and had to rewind to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.
Oogly_BooglyBoo yupp he's amazing.
Not surprisingly, he went on to make legendary videos for the band.
Oogly_BooglyBoo Thank you for pointing that out for I don't need to now! ;)
He also worked on T2 and one or 2 of the nightmare on elm street sequels. Plenty more also :]
Jurassic Park is the only movie that made the ilusion of real donosaur on screem believable.
I never seem organic CGI move so realistic.
Greatest special effects sequence of all time. That Rex is REAL.
IT'S BACK!!!!! YES!!!!! PLEASE DO MORE FROM NOW ON! PLEASE!!
Thanks, JP-animators, for creating such amazing visual art and many fond (slightly terrifying) childhood memories.
And then Jurassic World said: beep boop, computers for everything.
Fallen Kingdom does a good job balancing practical with CGI.
@@OlafLesniak no they look absolutely fake the majority of the time......
That's why Jurassic World is by far not as good as Jurassic Park :)
-except for apatosaurus
“I hate computers” - Alan Grant
*Art of the Scene* is honestly my favorite thing in this channel. So glad it's back!
Holy crap guys, this is amazing. I love these tiny little historical details (damn you Spielberg for inspiring the pre-quels), this video made my day and I would happily binge watch any more episodes like this. Please more!
Thanks for including the Rex roar at the end. Chills down my spine.
huh, ask and you shall receive. thanks for bringing this back Cinefix. Could you do an Art of the Scene with a Cronenberg movie like The Fly or Videodrome?
bro
Or Possession (1981)
The Fly...One of the all time greatest Sci Fi Horror films. Still amazing even today.
Volvagia´s Blaze ppp
Yes
This is still one of my favorite movie scenes. It's paced beautifully and is still visually impressive.
Holy shit, is that truly Truly back again?! WOOHOO.
Phill TIPPETT...YOU ARE THE BEST and your comeback to the Jurassic franchise IS URGENT. Look at those models, it's the optimal mix between birds and reptiles
I prefer practical effects whenever possible, but cgi gets a bad rap sometimes, there's a big reason why some cgi looks good, and other (often) times it looks shitty, and that's sometimes due to limited turn around time. The Plant of the Apes movies all have fantastic/believable digital effects because the animators are given time to fully render the effects, that's not always the case.
I always think practical effects should come first. But when things aren’t possible with practical effects (like recreating a huge Tyrannosaurus), then you start using CGI. Two movies I can think of that go by this thinking are Terminator 2, and of course Jurassic Park; and to this day, they still look FANTASTIC!!!
That's what you call crunch time!
So happy you guys did this scene. Despite its numerous flaws throughout the whole movie, as a ten year old in 1993, this became my all-time favorite film, and still is.
This should be on the Jurassic Park DVD.... clean work folks!
a lot of this information was, for what it was worth.
YES! In my humble opinion, this scene might go down as one of the most iconic scenes in movie history.
Its been forever since you guys did this kind of video
Jurassic park is my favourite movie /movie series!!! thank you!!
3:08. That's Adam Jones, the guitarist of Tool! :D
Once hearing that the people who made the effects in "Jurassic Park" were involved in making the effects in our other favorite films... 😲💥💫 MIND... BLOWN!!!!!
The docking scene from Interstellar would be an awesome Art of the Scene!!!!!!!
This was such an incredible feat beyond comprehension. That's why most of the cgi still holds up today, especially the rex scenes
Mind = Blown!
I am 30 years old. Every time it rains, every single time I hear the rain drops, jurassic park comes to my mind and feels like I live this universe, this movie is my favorite and had the biggest impact on me growing up to this day loving Dinosaurs. Never kill your inner child 🦖🦕
I wouldn't say a compleeeeetely faithful adaptation from the novel ... *cough Dr Hammond cough* :)
caffeineadvocate why?
benedict joel - Let's just say he didn't get along with compys in the book...
caffeineadvocate He didn't say that. He said "if not". Not is negative.
They say "If NOT a completely faithful adaptation." The implication being that the while the movie was near-perfect, it was not entirely faithful to the source material. I thought the same thing as you, at first, but I listened again and realized what they actually said.
Striking Discord (with Tim and Mason) - I looked up the grammar rules just to be sure. 'if not' reinforces or adds on the previous part of the statement so... I'm pretty sure it means what I think it means...
You are so good at the pronounciation of the dinosaur’s name, locations and reasons, this is totally not sarcasm, you’re so great.
*i want a life-sized RC T-rex*
To keep Amazon Package thieves away. 😉
This is why Jurassic Park is my all time favorite movie.
this is literally the "making of" segment from the bonus features of the trilogy box set...
Very amazing behind the scenes. Thank you for putting this together.
THIS IS WHY I WILL DEFEND THIS MOVIE TO MY DEATH!
Sure it's historically inaccurate and i would be lying if i didn't want to see a bunch of feathered dinosaurs or dinosaurs with soft tissues and creative designs, but that doesn't change the fact that these people Animated and acted out a movie that not only showed the most FUCKING REALISTIC DINOSAURS EVER! TO THE POINT THAT WHEN EVER I SEE A DOCUMENTARY I CAN ONLY LISTED TO THE AUDIO BECAUSE THE ANIMATION IS SO SHIT. But also because i really revolutionized how we think of dinos and how film makers take animation. just, aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh. this is probably why i didn''t like Jurassic World so much, it lacked the creativity of everything.
Bokin Foshaow what do you think about lost world
Jurassic World, even if I give it leeway for its obvious flaws (product placement, flat characters, convoluted writing), definitely did not have that innovative spirit. It gave the distinct feeling that it was almost entirely shot on a sound stage, failing to make me forget that's what they're doing for even a minute. Even the jungle/nature scenes felt like a resort had to be juuuuuuust outside the frame, presumably so the actors wouldn't ever get too sweaty or actually accidentally get a non-bottled tan. It actually made me go back and watch the generally panned sequels to Jurassic Park, just to remember what it feels like to watch a disaster where the people who made it actually tried, still.
we can forgive this movie for it's inaccuracies because because it wasn't agreed on that dinosaurs had feathers until 2006
And to be honest, not all do. Most quadrupeds probably didn't and myosaurus definitely didn't; they found fossilized myosaurus skin without hide nor hair of a feather.
well you can't really say "historically accurate" about a dinosaur movie....but when it came out, the whole "feathered dinosaurs" wasn't a widely accepted theory. They worked with the most up-to-date paleontology at the time
i’ve seen many videos praising this movie because I love this and I refuse to stop analyzing why it’s so amazing
More of these
More of these
More of these
The special effects are absolutely amazing. This movie Came out in 1993. 24 years old and still Match with most Cgis nowadays. Also Animatronic were awesome :D
Could you guys to an art of the scene about the death star attack from A new hope? that would be amazing
KAzooo *blue screen
Okay, hear me out. This is why 90's movies will never be outmatched... like ever. The lengths, jobs, ideas, and creativity needed to assemble a believable result on film during these times was in a time where technology and tangible talent were meshed into one to create an elaborate layered and impossible result for any common man to recreate on his computer at home. Truly remarkable times in film history. Most 90's films were iconic in this fashion. Spend the money, get the talent, create the result no matter what lengths are necessary... God.. Those years are what make me chase for great film to this day. Sadly everything is now typed in on a keyboard or overlayed by a greenscreen and painted by a pen.
3:09 pretty sure that's Adam Jones from Tool right there
This movie still looks amazing, the trex paddock scence still takes my breath away
12:51 It's treason, then.
Hello there
TheBfutgreg General Kenobi.
This is so much beyond what I thought went into this movie. No wonder this movie made bank. Great classic movie!
Movies...too much work
No shit
how the made the ripple of the glass is probably the first thing I ever learned about making movies and there was no stopping it from there.
"Gifs. Jifs. Gifs. Whatever I hate technology" lmao
The T-Rex paddocks scene and T-Rex fight with the Raptors are some of the best animations made in film. They look SO real. I hope they are going this route with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
The dinosaurs in this film still look better than anything that proceeded, including Jurassic World.
I'd argue that the sequel Jurassic Park 2, with Spielberg and the same cgi/animatronics team on board, even managed to improve the visuals.
NO both look great
Because Animatronics look better than any CGI, but the CGI in Jurassic Park and Dragonheart look much better than from most nowadays movies.
This movie still holds up so well. 10x better then cgi we get now adays
A better question, why dose the 1993 JP CGI look so much more realistic than the horrible new Jurassic world dinosaurs?
The new ones are 90% cgi.
Only a few were animatronics.
I wondered that too...I think it’s because the Rex in particular largely involved the use of animatronics rather than CGI. It looks so much better.
The people that worked with stop-motion had to get the 'feeling' of the dinosaurs in their bodies to be able to animate with the puppets. Because it was done one shot at the time, they used their imagination to feel their way into making these animals look real. Only after every single image was shot, would they get a sense of how their work turned out. Then when they made the stop-motion input devices for the animated dinosaurs, all that skill and imagination embodied by the stop-motion guys flowed onto the screen.
Nowadays animators don't go through that process of having to imagine anything, they have a computer image to work with. They don't have to embody the T-Rex in their minds and bodies, because its just there on the screen.
Because they had few CGI and more animatronics. But it’s more to do with how dinosaurs act like animals from how they move and how they behave. Making it more believable, which is why it’s more realistic than 90% of the time of CGI Jurassic World
@@lostcrusader8053 Still doesn't explain why the VFX shots still look better than the ones coming out 20 years later. VFX shots ONLY hence my comment.
Watched this classic with my son a couple weeks ago and it’s simply a masterpiece!
12:44 - 12:53 I can’t stop laughing! And I don’t even care!..I can’t breathe…(inhaling finally after almost Suffocating myself)
Nice...
YES! Art of the Scene, What's the Difference? and Film School'd were my three favorite things on your channel! Remember counting the days between videos. MORE OF THESE! MORE OF THESE!
please do an art of the scean for Back To The Future's hover bord
Amazing work. So much time and effort and it pays off so well. The mixture of using puppets, animatronics and cgi works so well. It's sad when movies in this time rely solely on CGI.
Qwhen i was little i thougt this was real 😂
Seeing Art of the Scene again... just puts a nice tear in my eye.
Surprised there's no "first" comment. There's still faith in humanity.
first.
Forgotten Potato first
Jax Gaming Wow, so unpredictable and funny. 😑
This may as well be a 'first' comment
FIRST FIRST FIRST
I remember when I first saw this movie. I was 3, obviously I wasn’t alive when this movie came out, but I remember this movie captivated me. To this day this is my favorite movie
It's back!! Not squad!! Also bring back film schooled!!
Thanks for bringing up the masters behind the movie. We thought it is just the director but clearly not.
can you do goosebumps the movie home made movie
hardwork pays off .......nobody talks about jurrasic world but nobody will forget jurrasic park!
Art of the Scene. ... INGLORIOUS BASTERDS (opening sequence)
Holy shit yes
You could read so much into that scene from facial expressions and gestures alone.
or even the pub scene.
Interesting take, maybe even a valid one but you can't fault him for portraying scenes in a certain way. It's his style and his art. And art, as it always has been, is subjective. Tarantino's strength lies in the dialogue and the build-up. If you don't like it, don't watch; simple as that.
@chad - I attended a film school and therefore was surrounded by Tarantino horsewhipping dicksuckers all day. It drove me insane. It made me extremely critical of him. I know he is a very good director. What bothers me is the content and the stories. He covers up bad or just average parts of his stories with grandiloquence.
YEAH! thx for answering the call Cinefix, you guys are the best!
pretty impressive how this movie still holds up, while A LOT of movies after that can't stand 2 years and already look like garbage
The fact that most of the scenes in this movie still looks good is amazing.
I'M A MOTHERFUCKIN T-REX!
Man when i saw this in theaters it blew everyone away. rewatched it recently and it still holds up.
This is literally paraphrasing that old documentary about Jurassic Park 1
I learned nothing new.
Derek Dincer what? You expected to learn something new?
This is one of the most iconic moments in movie HISTORY.
*Ford Explorer. not jeep
CJ POW Not sure why many still refer to them as jeeps.. There was the Jeep Wrangler in the movie, but the tour cars were indeed Ford Explorers.
so many people we're present to create the best movie I've watched, thank you :)
They were actually trying and inventing new things while making a film...
That is called involving.
Evolution
They sure did put a lot of effort in the CGI for this movie! Wow!
5:27 "Spielberg wanted the dinosaurs to be viewed as animals, not B-movie monsters". This sentence alone explains why Jurassic World will never hold a candle to Jurassic Park. Atrocious story and characters aside, and in addition to the plastic-looking CGI and outdated creature models (outdated even compared to JP), the creators of JW looked to create movie monsters, not real animals, and that is what we got. Ugly, poorly articulated, shrink-wrapped monstrosities (looking at the "Pteradons" and "Dimorphodons" specifically), as opposed to the tangible, sleek, and most importantly BELIEVABLE, dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. I can only hope that the creators of JW2 realize this and don't make the same mistakes they made in the first one, although I can't honestly say I have hope for the franchise after World :(
Jurassic World was the antithesis of Jurassic Park. I won't make the mistake of going to see the sequel.
Wow. What a idiot. Do you listen to yourself when u talk? I'd hate to see what happens when u look in the mirror. And I bet your "life story" has even worse "writing". Huh what an ignoramus
This Comment is at the same time Hilarious, awful and beyond stupid...
@@mikethedinoman8970 How so? It's literally the same opinion shared by MOST people...Jurassic Park is sick and has stood the test of time, and Jurassic World was mediocre and forgotten a year later. And I recently saw JW: Fallen Kingdom and it's just as forgettable, if not moreso.
@@slothstradamus89 Because the some of the Criticisms he mentions are not true...
JW is not as good as JP, but it's a decent film on it's own...
Great job guys!
Took a story most of us knew already, and made it fresh, coherent, and entertaining. Keep this up please.
10:00 (and many times after) Its not a Jeep. Its a Ford Explorer. A toddler could notice the difference. For a channel like Cinefix, that has a keen eye for detail, its a bit disconcerting that you couldn't tell the difference. There is a big blue FORD badge on the back for Pete's sake.
Who the fuck cares?
I do. Why do you care if I have an opinion?
As much as it is interchangeable in this film to discuss the Explorer that way, that's what I was thinking lol It is wrong to discuss the Ford as a Jeep when there are clearly actual jeeps in the film. Should have just said explorer or tour vehicle.
A Ford Explorer is NOT shaped like a jeep.
Literally unwatchable.
I really enjoyed this "Art of the Scene." The in-depth analysis with lighthearted comedy comes together really well
