With the longest film in the series comes the longest making-of video of the series! :D This is the end of a long creative journey and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for following and supporting me through it all. It's been brilliant.
i started watching you 4 years ago when our class was shown "Being Pretty" as an example for a dystopian theme, im glad youre getting the attention you deserve
This series will always be a big stand out in the Paleo and general art community. Each film captures a natural theme and puts animals in the place of animals, not terrible monsters, not stereotypical lizards, but as a beautiful piece of nature that has been brought to life by an amazing artist's hands. Beautiful work.
DAMN, you are a legend. So much of what you said in this video resonates with me on an extremely emotional level! Especially the part about dinosaurs being directly linked to your creative drive. Dinosauria has been an amazing series, genuinely some of the most beautiful stuff I've seen in a long while.
Agreed. Such a beautiful series, and I feel so much more emotionally attached to it knowing that he used it as a way to not only beautifully honor dinosaurs, but also to help himself heal artistically. I absolutely enjoyed the journey of this series from start to finish.
It is common to depict Alamosaurus in the Hell Creek Formation and be hunted by Tyrannosaurus Rex/Regina/Imperator due to the fact that Tyrannosaurs actually hunted Titanosaurs. Zhuchengtyrannus hunted Zhuchengtitan and Tarbosaurus hunted Nemegtosaurus.
the part where it was focused on the crow while flashing back to dinosaurs in earlier scenes of the episode made me fully cry. bawled like a damn baby. paleomedia hasn’t made me feel Like That since walking with dinosaurs. you are an absolute godsend dead sound, thankyou for this absolute masterpiece🖤
28:25 is one of the paleontologists showing Old Buck to the hana styracosaurus specimen? That’s a level of awesomeness that only you can achieve David, thank you for creating this beautiful series which made me become obsessed with dinosaurs again.
The last tyrant animation actually made me cry, I found the ending very powerful and beautiful and I love how life like they all were, I absolutely adore your work!
22:07 Hey David! I'm a Quality Assurance member for Saurian and the devs are both really happy and grateful you used Saurian as a reference for the Ornithomimus/Struthiomimus! We (the Dev team and QA team) love your work and can't wait to see what you'll create next! Keep up the great work!
This is phenomenal. I don’t have enough words to describe how much I appreciate the amount of work that’s gone into this series. This episode particularly I think is one of your best animated works, ever. The emotional rollercoaster it had me on as it progressed was stellar. From tranquility during the glory days, to sadness as the extinction occurred, and reassurance that the legacy of these draconic animals will live on. Excellent work, and thanks again for sharing this with us. You’ve inspired me to further study paleontology and work toward my dreams of becoming a visual storyteller. Stay safe, I look forward to what comes next, and hope you have a great *insert time of day here* ^_^
This series just feels like a beautiful love letter to the dinosaurs and I absolutely love it, you’ve done such an amazing job and I can’t thank you enough for it, also that tyrannosaurus sculpture is so beautiful, I love it
Your passion is so clear and hands down makes this series what it is! I would watch an entire channel just of sculpting, 3D modelling and talking about dinosaurs, wow ❤️
I hope this isn’t the final dinosaur project we see from you, this series is one of the most entertaining and visually impactful pieces of paleo media I have ever seen and I so desperately want to see more! Amazing work!
Seeing the sculptures together makes me kinda wanna see a short where they're all just interacting in a chill, almost sitcom-style environment. Just dinosaurs vibing
David, I have got to say, the amount of love and reverence you have for dinosaurs is incredibly apparent throughout this whole project and I cannot possibly commend you for it enough. As someone who's life has also been positively impacted by these incredible creatures, it is immensely comforting to see a similar sentiment laid out like this. The choice to focus on the lasting legacy of dinosaurs rather than their tragic end was a great one. It really separates it from other media that discusses the KT extinction, and also just.. flat out made me bawl. Because you're right! These animals really, truly, have never left! They're here with us in the form of the mourning doves that nest on my roof, or the herons that hunt for frogs on the pond outside my house, and in the bones we have in our museums. This whole series has felt like a love letter to that sentiment. You've really created something special! As an aside; I think this last episode has been my favorite, if only for the gentle and sensitive portrayal of the Hell Creek formation. Hell Creek has always been my favorite, and is a place and time I feel deeply attached to as Hell Creek today lies upon my tribal lands! My people have been living among the hills and plains that these same creatures did for thousands of years, so it's hard to NOT feel close to it. You also depicted my favorite dinosaur ( T. horridus! ) in just a BEAUTIFUL way and I can't describe the big, bright smile I got at that. ( Rest assured, I'm also VERY jealous of your Creative Beast Triceratops figure! Hahaha! ) Thank you for this series, and thank you for all of your hard work. It's been incredible! 🌈
I’ve said this before, but I feel like dinosaurian art is what you create when you grow tired of creating. Dinosauria was created while you were getting burnt out from animation following the release of Immortal Machine. Similarly, Sharp Teeth was also made at a time you were burnt out. It seems that, aside from being your biggest source of artistic inspiration, dinosaurs are also the only source you never get tired of.
Surprised that, in your evaluation, you didn't mention the cultural impact the series had. Buck is basically getting an action figure made of him! This series has been crazy, I can't explain the absolute joy I would feel every few months when I'd see another episode pop up. I rewatched some of the episodes yesterday, it's so weird to feel nostalgic for something that's only been around for a year. I love this series, and I love it even more knowing the history behind it all.
As someone interested in one day being a paleo artist and learning how to animate my own dinosaurs in Blender watching these films and watching how you made them has been super inspirational to me thank you so much.
Stellar work of this whole series. It’s sad to see it end, but it makes me excited to see what your next passion project will be. Until then, relax, enjoy your accomplishment, and crack open a cold drink of your choice on me. You have certainly earned it.
You're a true inspiration, especially for someone like me who is currently a first-year student of animation and illustration. Thank you for your hard work, your strong artistic voice and your unwavering passion for the things you love. You might not realise it, but you truly do have an impact on young creatives like me.
Sad to see the series end, but it was absolutely stunning to watch. I can't wait to see where your creativity takes you in the future! Thank you so much for making these.
As someone whose life has also been fundamentally touched by the existence and creative outlet of dinosaurs, it brought tears to my eyes to take in this video as the final piece of the series. It has seriously been a joy to experience each individual upload as well as its respective "making of" video. Your creative process and mindset is truly inspiring! Thank you for all the effort that you've divulged to creative something so visually and emotionally charged. I can't wait to rewatch this series many times over.
I watched most of your series (with explanation and making of videos) and as just some random viewer I’ll say: amazing. No words. Just absolutely fcking amazing. Your short films are always looking very polished and well-made, and all of this research that you make for your short films to be scientifically accurate is very impressive. You are cool.
a series this good could only ever be made by someone with such an unrelenting passion and respect for dinosaurs like you. its so clear from all your work that you dont see them merely as movie monsters, but as wonderful creatures that used to walk the same earth as us who deserve our respect.
For my final project at school I made a dinosaur costume and it was a thing I had been working on for years and it came to a end finally and this series has kept my passion strong through all the production and I adore everything that has gone into and resulted from this series thank you for not only making something wonderful but inspiring us to make our own projects
31:00 no wait actually you had it right in the film. The asteroid WOULD have been visible as a moving bright light in the sky as it started to come into contact with the outer atmosphere and began to become super heated. For reference; you can see the lights from the International Space Station passing overhead with the naked eye and thats about the size of a football field or 340 ft. The Asteroid was 3 miles comparable to Everest. You could have probably seen the rock from HC if not for all of the light it was emitting. Really the only thing (and its extremely minor) that doesn't exactly fit is the angle it hits from. The Chicxulub crater was formed by an inclined (45-60° to horizontal) impact from the northeast, implying the asteroid passed over Europe & Appalachia first before making impact in Mexico, which doesn't seem to be the angle displayed in the film; however this is very minor and I'm not bothered by it whatsoever. For a few hours an object emitting a ton of light would be tracking across the sky before disappearing behind the horizon, followed not long by an incredible flash of light that I can only compare to a sudden sunrise which would have lasted for a few minutes followed by the 1000 years of Mordor stuff. You kinda nailed it which is to be commended, you're probably the closest i've seen a depiction get it so far. Nobody really tends to get the eerie calm that you use to full effect here. You are amazing at what you do and i hope you keep it up.
David there are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how beautiful this series was,I genuinely cried multiple times watching this series and it ended on an amazing note.I loved this series and I love your work in general,I’ve never regretted subscribing to your amazing channel.
David, I absolutely loved all these short films. You have to make more episodes and seasons, please EDIT: I just noticed that it said "Volume 1" on that book. Does that mean that there will be a Volume 2?
The soundtrack in this episode hits different, I could feel the pain and sadness of the dinosaurs that died in the great extinction, the last scene gave me goosebumps and I could not stop crying. The transitions of the rex skull through the years were so smooth. This episode is my favorite bc it tells us the story of the great extintion but in a beautiful and poetic way. You did an amazing job
Honestly, the modern reconstruction of rexes that we have today looks a lot like a dragon. With their scaly skin, hard bumpy faces, and large piercing eyes... It's amazing. I love every version of every dinosaur. Be it the soft feathery rex or the rugged scaly rex, they're all beautiful in their own ways...
I loved this series. I wish there will be more dinosour animations like this. It's quite ironic how much in common we have xD we both love dinosaurs and we share a name xD
This series sparked a new interest for me. The dinosauria series has been a great inspiration for me and many others! It was great to see and experience! Thank you
I love how you designed your dinosaurs for the dinosuaria series! They look like they have feelings,personalities etc. While keeping them realistic which is amazing.
Last month we were awe-inspired by the lives of Dinosaurs as presented through David Attenborough's narration. This month another David made us feel sorrow for their tragic end and gave as a poigniant reminder of why they fascinate us even long after their passing, though even if they didn't QUITE all pass away, of course. Deffinitivelly my favourite piece of Paleomedia released this month, so far ;)
This has been one of my favourite pieces of dinosaur media since I don’t even know you sir deserve a reward for this stunning series at hopefully it will live rent free in the heads of everyone watching for decades to come the dinosauria series felt like it was over as soon as it started but will be remembered can’t wait to see what beautiful work of art you blow our minds with next time.
One thing I've noticed from your videos, is the life you bring to the eyes of your dinosaurs. I can't point my finger on it but it shows it very well. throughout most of your films, eye direction with even a simple texture/background.
Your work is phenomenal as always!!! This film series honestly reminds me of my love for dinosaurs when I was younger, my favorite was always the velociraptor, and just your other works have inspired me and left me in awe 💜
This last animation made me cry man, every single one has but this one was different, this was genuine sobbing and the uplifting ending didn't remove that bummed feeling entirely, because it really is bittersweet, but it sure did uplift.
The fact that the styracosaurus was shown old buck is so cute. I absolutely loved everything about this series, and am so happy you were satisfied with it. Thank you so much for this wonderful collection of dinosaurs
I still refuse to believe you're so young when you've got such a deep worldly voice!! Again, congrats on such the passionate, hard work. I had my reservations with the series (purely on subjective taste matters) but I cannot deny how impressive and, honestly immersive it was.
An absolutely beautiful series. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. And I bet making it all for an audience has been a real dream come true for you. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creativity and skills with us. And I feel bad that I'm not able to tell the difference very well between them (Even with the scars and crests) but.. which rex was it that survived and cannibalized its mate? My thought was originally the male without really thinking of it too much, until you pointed out the female was the bigger (and most likely stronger) one.
I am really glad you took the time to step away and make this project. I know leaving some of your other projects may have made you nervous, but the passion in Dinosauria is so apparent and I love these making of videos. You’ve revitalized my love of dinosaurs as well!
What a fantastic series! I am glad you begun to enjoy animating again. The production quality of these films is insane considering that it is all done by one person. I find these making of videos to be very encouraging to all artists. Few works have inspired as much as this series. Good art is made through extreme care and devotion, something you have clearly demonstrated in these videos. I don't know what projects you will decide to work on in the future. No matter what you do, I hope you know how much your art means to me and many others. Bravo!
i'm so glad that you made this project! it's amazing to see you so ecstatic and happy to be creating again as a much-needed break from the drain of Autodale. the colors, concepts, storytelling, and sounds are everything i love about art and you've captured it beautifully!
this was such a wonderful series, i loved watching every episode and always looked forward to the “making of” episodes afterwards. definitely one of those things thats just so beautifully made it makes you cry LOL… thank you for sharing this with the world, and i look forward to seeing whatever you do in the future! 🙏❤️
You are one of the most talented creators and paleoartists I've ever seen. Thank you for all your incredible work, I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for you!
You have inspired me so much throughout this entire series, and far before that as well. Your efforts are commendable and have taught me that quite literally anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Seeing your accomplishments is astonishing and beautiful and motivates me like crazy. Thank you for bringing this series to life and sharing your wonderful creative process with all of us!
Thank you so much David. This series, and all your films for that matter, are very close to my heart, and have been for years. You are a huge inspiration. Thank you thank you thank you
I love your animated short films. I hope you keep it up. As a young artist these making of Videos and your short films are inspiring to me. I am really glad I found your Channel. The first film of yours I saw was the born with sharp teeth one. From this series my favourite one is the frozen past one. Thank you for creating these incredible, beautiful films.
I'm having a hard time coming up with what to say, so I'll keep it short. This has been amazing, your content is always very lovely to look at and I love thinking of the deeper meanings and all that after I've finished a video of yours. I also really like how you tell us about the process, your voice is also very nice to listen to haha! Have a great day!
A great set of films! I love seeing how much you've improved in your animations. When you (inevitably) make more dinosaur animations, I'd love to see the utahraptor get some screen time.
For me, you absolutely achieved what you set out to do! I thought to myself, 'oh, their legacy!' when the crow appeared and the mishmash sequence began. These making-of videos are a true treasure and extremely enriching to watch. I also relate to your connection between dinosaurs and creativity. My childhood love of them has directly fueled my love for writing and creating stories. I adored seeing how your creative process has evolved over the years, and the wonder of it now - I can't wait to see how your art looks in the future!
I just want to say your dedication in making this series is so amazing. This series has so much passion and love behind it, creating something really unique. The level of creativity and skill you have is the best, and I have absolutely loved seeing the behind the scenes stuff in addition to the episodes themselves. Like seriously I think you reignited my love for dinosaurs. Thank you for making such an amazing series.
From what you do you are a hidden gem that created something that resparks the child in us, I discovered you right when you dropped the trailer for 'Dinosauria' and it has definitely inspired me to compete some of my years old projects, having these videos as background audio helps alot, I hope to see what you have next in store, from what you've said in the past anything will be a surprise, Thank you for creating something amazing everyone enjoyed, Even Hana Seemed to like it, and I believe alot are glad you really enjoyed Creating it. Much love to you good sir.
The last scene in that film made me genuinely very emotional. Very few films do this for me. I share the same passion for these ancient creatures, and I’m taking multiple sciences every year of high school with hopes for University of Alberta to become a palaeontologist. This film helped spark that love again. Thank you
You’ve become such a huge inspiration, and the crazy thing to me is that there’s someone out there that feels the same exact way about dinosaurs. The way they caused that artistic drive, it all hits home. The series was more than amazing, keep it up and let’s hope someday we can get a second volume/season.
It was so amazing to see how much you’ve improved in your statue-making, all of the sculptures look amazing and it was so satisfying to watch you make them! Please make more sculptures on UA-cam, it’s very satisfying!
I gotta admit, even as someone who doesn't really care too much for dinosaurs, this series has made me have a new appreciation for them-- the way they're portrayed, and especially in this film where it REALLY emphasizes their magnificence. These beasts were real, they roamed this earth, and even while gone their lineage still roams today, and you have to admit that's inspirational, and this film just really put that to show. And I absolutely appreciate it for that, I'll probably never be as interested as you are with them, but your passion for them and what you do with it can definitely make someone see them in a new light.
I usually never comment on UA-cam videos but this video has hit me so much that I simply need to write it down. I've been going through a long and painful period of creative burnout for quite a while now and at times I have seriously doubted my passion in dinosaurs/paleontology and just art in general. This series, and this last episode in particular, alongside this bts video, however, have truly showed me just how much of a wonder dinosaurs are in all their artistic beauty and wonderful aspects. I hope to develop a similar artistic attitude and outlook on like as yours, I think I can speak for all dinosaur fans that you've truly made something special here. For the bottom of my heart, thank you and keep up the utterly jaw dropping work.
You honestly never ever cease to amaze me David, your UA-cam channel is like poetry in motion, one moment it could be a dystopian world of intrigue and mystery… the next it’s a celebration of animal history right back to the dinosaurs… I hope you never stop exploring what makes you happy David… and as always I’m ecstatic and ever patient to see what you come up with next, have a fantastic day, you glorious person.
Man, I had a smile on my face during this entire video. This whole series has been amazing to watch, both the shorts themselves and the making of videos. Great job!
Thank you, David, and thank you to everyone who has supported this man. This series will be held in high regard by a lot of people for a very long time. So again, my deepest thanks, to all of you.
This series was incredible and a huge inspiration for me. Thank you for making some of the most interesting and insightful dinosaur content I've ever seen. Both the short films and these making of videos have such high production values it's insane. Your long creative journey was incredible to witness. I absolutely adore your art style and I would love to see some sort of tutorial for your process from sculpt to texture to rig. I want to be able to make films like this and a direct tutorial would be much preferable to trial and error XD Keep on creating, I can't wait to see what you make next!
I enjoyed every bit of this lovely series, and although sad to see it end, it has left me feeling inspired to build my own stories. Thank you for creating and sharing this project with all of us.
All I want to say is You are an amazing artist That has captured the love of dinosaurs every One of us has felt when we were younger and still do to this day pulling that off in this film was truly a work of art
You're a fantastic artist and everything you've done on UA-cam is an example of that but with these "Making Of" videos, you've thoroughly convinced me you'd be a wonderful person to meet and talk too. Amazing job and I'm excited to see what you do next.
I love watching your making of videos, they're just as fun and exciting as the original videos themselves! I love seeing behind the scenes and details I myself missed watching the video.
this series has been amazing and i'm happy it's come to a satisfying ending. I also would love to see more animations like this and can't wait to see what you do next!
This was a very well made and planned out series with tons of inspiration following it. I've been obsessed with dinosaurs ever since I was little and it has only continued to grow over the years. This series was so amazing to watch and the details were on par with the whole presentation. The sculptures that you make are amazing as well, I wish I could ask you to make me one for a Brachiosaurus because its my favorite and so I could pay and support you but i know your not that type of guy. I respect your for making such a wonderful series about the thing that started my imagination as a kid. You did a really good job again and I hope you make many more like this
I just wanted to say that I love the films you make and especially the behind the scenes you create for each one! They always help me get motivation and inspiration to pursue my own creative projects. So I just wanna say thanks! ❤
You and this series are my inspiration for my animation work and for having inspiration to continue making stuff! I’ve been enamored by paleomedia all my life and Dinosauria is one of my favorite that has been made, up there with the greats like Jurassic Park and Walking With Dinosaurs. You’re astounding in what you and thank you for making this series! You inspire me to want to tell stories like what you do, both paleo and other things. It’s even inspired me to start writing and storyboarding my own paleo animated film I want to one day make! So again, thank you so much for this series and cheers to your future endeavors!
With the longest film in the series comes the longest making-of video of the series! :D
This is the end of a long creative journey and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for following and supporting me through it all. It's been brilliant.

Man I thought I was the only one! It's truly a beautiful piece of media period!
my favorite about "the making of" is that your narration and your composition is not boring to me. I always look forward to your videos
Same, he is good at making it great and interesting
Right???
28:25 is one of the paleontologists showing Old Buck to the hana styracosaurus specimen? That’s a level of awesomeness that only you can achieve David, thank you for creating this beautiful series which made me become obsessed with dinosaurs again.
Whats funnier is he turned that skull into the young buck, so he's basically showing how he died
@@letsplaypros1 "Hannah, you won't believe what Old Buck got up to this time."
*ELSE*
The only thing missing from this amazing making of was the serenading of the T-rex sculpture :'D I guess it was too beautiful for words!
The last tyrant animation actually made me cry, I found the ending very powerful and beautiful and I love how life like they all were, I absolutely adore your work!
About a dead baby t-rex? Hatched and died
It wasn’t just about a dead a baby T. rex, it was about legacy, and impact. How we remember them for what they were.

it most likely may be the last dinosaur episode, BUT certainly not the last dinosaur related thing he'll do
It says volume #1 at the end on the book, implying there are going to be more dinosauria episodes :)
Seeing the sculptures together makes me kinda wanna see a short where they're all just interacting in a chill, almost sitcom-style environment. Just dinosaurs vibing

It has seriously been a joy to experience each individual upload as well as its respective "making of" video. Your creative process and mindset is truly inspiring! Thank you for all the effort that you've divulged to creative something so visually and emotionally charged. I can't wait to rewatch this series many times over.
I watched most of your series (with explanation and making of videos) and as just some random viewer I’ll say: amazing. No words. Just absolutely fcking amazing. Your short films are always looking very polished and well-made, and all of this research that you make for your short films to be scientifically accurate is very impressive. You are cool.
a series this good could only ever be made by someone with such an unrelenting passion and respect for dinosaurs like you. its so clear from all your work that you dont see them merely as movie monsters, but as wonderful creatures that used to walk the same earth as us who deserve our respect.
For my final project at school I made a dinosaur costume and it was a thing I had been working on for years and it came to a end finally and this series has kept my passion strong through all the production and I adore everything that has gone into and resulted from this series thank you for not only making something wonderful but inspiring us to make our own projects
31:00 no wait actually you had it right in the film. The asteroid WOULD have been visible as a moving bright light in the sky as it started to come into contact with the outer atmosphere and began to become super heated. For reference; you can see the lights from the International Space Station passing overhead with the naked eye and thats about the size of a football field or 340 ft. The Asteroid was 3 miles comparable to Everest. You could have probably seen the rock from HC if not for all of the light it was emitting. Really the only thing (and its extremely minor) that doesn't exactly fit is the angle it hits from. The Chicxulub crater was formed by an inclined (45-60° to horizontal) impact from the northeast, implying the asteroid passed over Europe & Appalachia first before making impact in Mexico, which doesn't seem to be the angle displayed in the film; however this is very minor and I'm not bothered by it whatsoever. For a few hours an object emitting a ton of light would be tracking across the sky before disappearing behind the horizon, followed not long by an incredible flash of light that I can only compare to a sudden sunrise which would have lasted for a few minutes followed by the 1000 years of Mordor stuff. You kinda nailed it which is to be commended, you're probably the closest i've seen a depiction get it so far. Nobody really tends to get the eerie calm that you use to full effect here. You are amazing at what you do and i hope you keep it up.
David there are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how beautiful this series was,I genuinely cried multiple times watching this series and it ended on an amazing note.I loved this series and I love your work in general,I’ve never regretted subscribing to your amazing channel.
David, I absolutely loved all these short films. You have to make more episodes and seasons, please
EDIT: I just noticed that it said "Volume 1" on that book. Does that mean that there will be a Volume 2?
He was such a legend, he had to make a made up prehistoric bird species. Bravo, much love for this series
the bird is actually called a male confusiornis, basically
The soundtrack in this episode hits different, I could feel the pain and sadness of the dinosaurs that died in the great extinction, the last scene gave me goosebumps and I could not stop crying. The transitions of the rex skull through the years were so smooth. This episode is my favorite bc it tells us the story of the great extintion but in a beautiful and poetic way. You did an amazing job
Honestly, the modern reconstruction of rexes that we have today looks a lot like a dragon. With their scaly skin, hard bumpy faces, and large piercing eyes... It's amazing. I love every version of every dinosaur. Be it the soft feathery rex or the rugged scaly rex, they're all beautiful in their own ways...
I loved this series. I wish there will be more dinosour animations like this. It's quite ironic how much in common we have xD we both love dinosaurs and we share a name xD
This series sparked a new interest for me. The dinosauria series has been a great inspiration for me and many others! It was great to see and experience! Thank you
Amazing series! Also you should get into the dinosaur model business. I love your sculpting!
It's sad to see the end of such a phenomenal miniseries end. I do hope you go through with a season 2
I love how you designed your dinosaurs for the dinosuaria series! They look like they have feelings,personalities etc. While keeping them realistic which is amazing.
Last month we were awe-inspired by the lives of Dinosaurs as presented through David Attenborough's narration.
This month another David made us feel sorrow for their tragic end and gave as a poigniant reminder of why they fascinate us even long after their passing, though even if they didn't QUITE all pass away, of course.
Deffinitivelly my favourite piece of Paleomedia released this month, so far ;)
I can't and don't want to imagine a world without these amazing creatures.
This has been one of my favourite pieces of dinosaur media since I don’t even know you sir deserve a reward for this stunning series at hopefully it will live rent free in the heads of everyone watching for decades to come the dinosauria series felt like it was over as soon as it started but will be remembered can’t wait to see what beautiful work of art you blow our minds with next time.
One thing I've noticed from your videos, is the life you bring to the eyes of your dinosaurs. I can't point my finger on it but it shows it very well. throughout most of your films, eye direction with even a simple texture/background.
I've really missed your sci-fi films, but man... This series was hugely amazing! Congrats!!!
the best words i can ever hear from an artist is "i had fun" and "im really proud of this one"
I am speechless, this series is amazing and reminds me of how much I love Dinosaurs. Thank you for taking us through this journey.
Your work is phenomenal as always!!! This film series honestly reminds me of my love for dinosaurs when I was younger, my favorite was always the velociraptor, and just your other works have inspired me and left me in awe 💜
The amount of pure unadulterated joy your series brought me is immeasurable. Thank you so much for doing this.
I usually like David's "Making of" videos even more than actual short films
This last animation made me cry man, every single one has but this one was different, this was genuine sobbing and the uplifting ending didn't remove that bummed feeling entirely, because it really is bittersweet, but it sure did uplift.
The fact that the styracosaurus was shown old buck is so cute. I absolutely loved everything about this series, and am so happy you were satisfied with it. Thank you so much for this wonderful collection of dinosaurs
I still refuse to believe you're so young when you've got such a deep worldly voice!! Again, congrats on such the passionate, hard work. I had my reservations with the series (purely on subjective taste matters) but I cannot deny how impressive and, honestly immersive it was.
What an inspiration, from such a young age. The child you would think you're the coolest person in the world right now
This was a crazy, awesome, inspiring ride to go on. I'll be keeping an eye on any future projects you make!
An absolutely beautiful series. I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
And I bet making it all for an audience has been a real dream come true for you. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creativity and skills with us.
And I feel bad that I'm not able to tell the difference very well between them (Even with the scars and crests) but.. which rex was it that survived and cannibalized its mate? My thought was originally the male without really thinking of it too much, until you pointed out the female was the bigger (and most likely stronger) one.
these films were absolutely gorgeous, i have teared up more than once watching this series
i really love how you do your process of making drawings, sculptures and animations. its really impressive
I am really glad you took the time to step away and make this project. I know leaving some of your other projects may have made you nervous, but the passion in Dinosauria is so apparent and I love these making of videos. You’ve revitalized my love of dinosaurs as well!
This was a complete gift of a series, thank you SO MUCH for making it!
What a fantastic series! I am glad you begun to enjoy animating again. The production quality of these films is insane considering that it is all done by one person. I find these making of videos to be very encouraging to all artists. Few works have inspired as much as this series. Good art is made through extreme care and devotion, something you have clearly demonstrated in these videos. I don't know what projects you will decide to work on in the future. No matter what you do, I hope you know how much your art means to me and many others. Bravo!
i'm so glad that you made this project! it's amazing to see you so ecstatic and happy to be creating again as a much-needed break from the drain of Autodale. the colors, concepts, storytelling, and sounds are everything i love about art and you've captured it beautifully!
What a journey this series has been. Honestly up there as one of my faves!
With this beautiful art and immense creativity, we need to get this man to 1 million subscribers.
this was such a wonderful series, i loved watching every episode and always looked forward to the “making of” episodes afterwards. definitely one of those things thats just so beautifully made it makes you cry LOL… thank you for sharing this with the world, and i look forward to seeing whatever you do in the future! 🙏❤️
You are one of the most talented creators and paleoartists I've ever seen. Thank you for all your incredible work, I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for you!
Man it’s sad this series is over, but thank you for the enjoy that you brought for all of us
You have inspired me so much throughout this entire series, and far before that as well. Your efforts are commendable and have taught me that quite literally anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Seeing your accomplishments is astonishing and beautiful and motivates me like crazy. Thank you for bringing this series to life and sharing your wonderful creative process with all of us!
Thank you so much David. This series, and all your films for that matter, are very close to my heart, and have been for years. You are a huge inspiration. Thank you thank you thank you
I love your animated short films. I hope you keep it up. As a young artist these making of Videos and your short films are inspiring to me. I am really glad I found your Channel. The first film of yours I saw was the born with sharp teeth one. From this series my favourite one is the frozen past one. Thank you for creating these incredible, beautiful films.
I'm having a hard time coming up with what to say, so I'll keep it short.
This has been amazing, your content is always very lovely to look at and I love thinking of the deeper meanings and all that after I've finished a video of yours. I also really like how you tell us about the process, your voice is also very nice to listen to haha!
Have a great day!
This was quite a journey David, Thank you for inviting us to enjoy it.
A great set of films! I love seeing how much you've improved in your animations.
When you (inevitably) make more dinosaur animations, I'd love to see the utahraptor get some screen time.
For me, you absolutely achieved what you set out to do! I thought to myself, 'oh, their legacy!' when the crow appeared and the mishmash sequence began. These making-of videos are a true treasure and extremely enriching to watch.
I also relate to your connection between dinosaurs and creativity. My childhood love of them has directly fueled my love for writing and creating stories. I adored seeing how your creative process has evolved over the years, and the wonder of it now - I can't wait to see how your art looks in the future!
I just want to say your dedication in making this series is so amazing. This series has so much passion and love behind it, creating something really unique. The level of creativity and skill you have is the best, and I have absolutely loved seeing the behind the scenes stuff in addition to the episodes themselves. Like seriously I think you reignited my love for dinosaurs. Thank you for making such an amazing series.
From what you do you are a hidden gem that created something that resparks the child in us, I discovered you right when you dropped the trailer for 'Dinosauria' and it has definitely inspired me to compete some of my years old projects, having these videos as background audio helps alot, I hope to see what you have next in store, from what you've said in the past anything will be a surprise, Thank you for creating something amazing everyone enjoyed, Even Hana Seemed to like it, and I believe alot are glad you really enjoyed Creating it. Much love to you good sir.
The last scene in that film made me genuinely very emotional. Very few films do this for me. I share the same passion for these ancient creatures, and I’m taking multiple sciences every year of high school with hopes for University of Alberta to become a palaeontologist. This film helped spark that love again. Thank you
Thank you for this. I was weeping by the end, not just for the tragedy, but the triumph and celebration of these glorious organisms.
You’ve become such a huge inspiration, and the crazy thing to me is that there’s someone out there that feels the same exact way about dinosaurs. The way they caused that artistic drive, it all hits home. The series was more than amazing, keep it up and let’s hope someday we can get a second volume/season.
It was so amazing to see how much you’ve improved in your statue-making, all of the sculptures look amazing and it was so satisfying to watch you make them! Please make more sculptures on UA-cam, it’s very satisfying!
I gotta admit, even as someone who doesn't really care too much for dinosaurs, this series has made me have a new appreciation for them-- the way they're portrayed, and especially in this film where it REALLY emphasizes their magnificence.
These beasts were real, they roamed this earth, and even while gone their lineage still roams today, and you have to admit that's inspirational, and this film just really put that to show.
And I absolutely appreciate it for that, I'll probably never be as interested as you are with them, but your passion for them and what you do with it can definitely make someone see them in a new light.
These behind the scenes videos are just as amazing as the films themselves.
I usually never comment on UA-cam videos but this video has hit me so much that I simply need to write it down. I've been going through a long and painful period of creative burnout for quite a while now and at times I have seriously doubted my passion in dinosaurs/paleontology and just art in general. This series, and this last episode in particular, alongside this bts video, however, have truly showed me just how much of a wonder dinosaurs are in all their artistic beauty and wonderful aspects. I hope to develop a similar artistic attitude and outlook on like as yours, I think I can speak for all dinosaur fans that you've truly made something special here. For the bottom of my heart, thank you and keep up the utterly jaw dropping work.
You honestly never ever cease to amaze me David, your UA-cam channel is like poetry in motion, one moment it could be a dystopian world of intrigue and mystery… the next it’s a celebration of animal history right back to the dinosaurs… I hope you never stop exploring what makes you happy David… and as always I’m ecstatic and ever patient to see what you come up with next, have a fantastic day, you glorious person.
I'm sad to see this series come to end, but it has been great. I can't to see what you'll make next!
Man, I had a smile on my face during this entire video. This whole series has been amazing to watch, both the shorts themselves and the making of videos. Great job!
Thank you, David, and thank you to everyone who has supported this man. This series will be held in high regard by a lot of people for a very long time. So again, my deepest thanks, to all of you.
I loved this series! Your passion overflowed through every single one of the films of this series. You knocked it out of the park and back it time!
This series was incredible and a huge inspiration for me. Thank you for making some of the most interesting and insightful dinosaur content I've ever seen. Both the short films and these making of videos have such high production values it's insane. Your long creative journey was incredible to witness.
I absolutely adore your art style and I would love to see some sort of tutorial for your process from sculpt to texture to rig. I want to be able to make films like this and a direct tutorial would be much preferable to trial and error XD
Keep on creating, I can't wait to see what you make next!
I enjoyed every bit of this lovely series, and although sad to see it end, it has left me feeling inspired to build my own stories.
Thank you for creating and sharing this project with all of us.
All I want to say is
You are an amazing artist That has captured the love of dinosaurs every One of us has felt when we were younger and still do to this day pulling that off in this film was truly a work of art
You're a fantastic artist and everything you've done on UA-cam is an example of that but with these "Making Of" videos, you've thoroughly convinced me you'd be a wonderful person to meet and talk too. Amazing job and I'm excited to see what you do next.
these the making of's are always a treat! you make neat scrapbooks! glad you upload these to patreon
I love watching your making of videos, they're just as fun and exciting as the original videos themselves! I love seeing behind the scenes and details I myself missed watching the video.
this series has been amazing and i'm happy it's come to a satisfying ending. I also would love to see more animations like this and can't wait to see what you do next!
This was a very well made and planned out series with tons of inspiration following it. I've been obsessed with dinosaurs ever since I was little and it has only continued to grow over the years. This series was so amazing to watch and the details were on par with the whole presentation. The sculptures that you make are amazing as well, I wish I could ask you to make me one for a Brachiosaurus because its my favorite and so I could pay and support you but i know your not that type of guy. I respect your for making such a wonderful series about the thing that started my imagination as a kid. You did a really good job again and I hope you make many more like this
I just wanted to say that I love the films you make and especially the behind the scenes you create for each one! They always help me get motivation and inspiration to pursue my own creative projects. So I just wanna say thanks! ❤
You and this series are my inspiration for my animation work and for having inspiration to continue making stuff! I’ve been enamored by paleomedia all my life and Dinosauria is one of my favorite that has been made, up there with the greats like Jurassic Park and Walking With Dinosaurs. You’re astounding in what you and thank you for making this series! You inspire me to want to tell stories like what you do, both paleo and other things. It’s even inspired me to start writing and storyboarding my own paleo animated film I want to one day make! So again, thank you so much for this series and cheers to your future endeavors!
