Jurassic Park was better and had the best animated dinosaurs because they used not so much animated scenes and we were left wanting for more. At the same time, the animals behaved quite natural, not like the current CGI dinosaurs whose behaviour is so human. To the point they want you to know what the animal is thinking... that's a huge mistake. I remember when I saw this movie. I was a kid and started drawing hundreds of dinosaurs to animate on paper!
Jesus......i know that this company is the big boss......the big daddy......but i didn't knew that this company was so powerful even.....in 93.....!!!!god...!!!!!so fucking awesome...!!!!
i dont get why when i was a kid we had revolutionary things... now we have today (in our living rooms) what back then in the 90s was considered "super computers" yet we can't do things like this properly anymore? lol ur kidding me right? all our advancements and its like we retrogressed instead of progressing... why? ppl in theyre homes create better content on youtube than multibillion dollar teams of movie production crews... hollywood has retrogressed alot.
@lakelet1 I HOPE u know that i mean today... im with u on this... now a days youtube pwnz the movie industry for some odd reason homemovies are a looooooooot better than whats in theatres with some exceptions to movies like the dark knight... jurasick park is timeless along with the original toy story. These kind of movies were made in the 90s. Oddly today hollywood cant make stuff like this (no wonder theyre lossing theyre jobs).theyre talentless and blame piracy as a form of denial
@lakelet1 dnt get me started on video games cuz i havnt seen a videogame that has better graphics than donkey kong snes lol lol lol jk well not really all donkey kong games were visually delightful in ways that no videogame today can be. how the hell did everything suck so much 12yrs later..? :/ check out killer instinct 2 ARCADE then tell me if u ever seen a better graphix and audio in any fighting game? the intro alone pwnz any next gen consel and its from 1996 aint that a bitch? lol

@MasSergioVEVO I wasn't trying to insult, contradict or berate you. I just wanted to share a good example of the advancing graphics in games. I enjoy games, but I think the reason why games seem stale nowadays is because it's all been done before and very few try to bring something new to the market.
Its due to lack of passion belive me ive seen fans produce better content than gaming studios... have you seen the sonic game that got take down notices from SEGA? A true sonic game(youtube it)that the sonic team couldn't make... btw the fan made sonic game was made with UNREAL ENGINE DEV KIT... Then theres Streets of Rage Remake V5 (fanmade google it), and Chrono Trigger Crimeson Echoes (youtube "death is nothing to the reaper" for the most epic fanmade cutscene
@MasSergioVEVO I'm not protecting Hollywood but the stuff you find on youtube is not the same level of production. I may be wrong but I haven't seen on youtube a 2 hours film that had photorealistic CGi and that took about a year of post production. It's not the quality of the Visual Effects that went down. It's just that most of the times, the time given to the VFx Studio is just crazy short and they have to do as much as possible in the smallest time possible.
@KatsuhonoProduction Some director ( like Spielberg, or JJ.Abrams ) know the importance of the VFx, for example the 2009's Star Trek is just absolutly beautiful ( in my opinion ). And you have to remember that VFx have done a lot more that just photorealistic character since JP, Water Simulation, Destruction simulation, Particules simulation is an exemple of the progress, a film like PoTC wouldn't have been possible in '93.
Hollywood is to blame on the credit they're giving to VFX, most of the times it is now used as a cheap way to do something ( The Thing 2011 is, IMO, a good example of the wrong way to handle CGi ) not the VFx Industry which didn't retrogressed. But that's my opinion.
Oh and if you haven't , you should check out Rango, the first animation film from ILM. This kind of graphics ( the water looks so real, it's crazy) weren't possible a few years ago I think.
@KatsuhonoProduction lol u didnt looks up sonic remake did you? or fan game or what ever its called... it has better graphix and animations than the wii versions of sonic do trust me look it up... as for videos all i can say its youtube but i find alot more entertaining stuff on here than i do on tv now a days. i dont like tv i dont like the slap stick over used humor and i dont like the annoying shows on tv. they bother me theyre almost all aimed at ppl with low iq levels some shows r cool tho

@KatsuhonoProduction example of a modern american tv show.... some character who is retarded racist and hafl patriotic disses ppl racially promotes drug usage, makes mentions to marijuana, abuses substances ie alcohol does things like beat women and promote violence in ignorant, non tactical, nor defensive ways... a modern youtube video is more informational and educational with info added by users in comments sections... u actually may learn something on utube vs tv lol..
@KatsuhonoProduction i response to ya i dont want to watch that garbage i dont care how many cgi are used... if its done in talentless ways then its worthless... its all about the message the artist screen writter or producer are tryingt o make u aware of wich doesnt happen often in todays media... wich is a darn shame. This movie was fiction and interesting and included some cool science references... and actually had a plot this was made in the 90s not todays grbage, shall i continue? lol
@MasSergioVEVO You're not getting my point, and I wasn't talking about the video games industry, i've never mentioned it.
I did not mention the content that TV Shows or movies promote. I agree with you in most of the point you talked about.
I was JUST talking about how the VFx Industry did not retrogressed at all. It could benefit from a better use in the film industry, again I AGREE. People may ( and it's certain ) come up with better story, better plot etc on the interwebs, no doubt.
@KatsuhonoProduction But if someone on youtube is capable of doing a two hours film with photo realistic visual effects ( such as Rise of the Planet of the apes, PoTC, Star Trek, etc... ) With the amount of time guys at ILM ( or Digital Domain, Weta Digital, etc... ) get to do such things. I want to see that.
visual effects huh? so... you mean like the video on my page of a fan remaking dragon ball z series into dragon ball AF..? (i did the voice work for the artist) its in complete 1080p quality on his page 720p and i must say... for something made in a pc.. by 1 person its quite fantastic... go watch... then ull see its possible it just takes time and when u work for top directors u get payed top dollar for ur time when u don u just have tyo shuffle projects around. ;)
Better than most CG now and days, but the addition of the animitronics helps. Still, i'm annoyed by the way the effects failed with some of the practical ones (the string keeping the jeep from rolling, someone pushing one of the raptors tails).
@marneebox in order to make the raptors consistent with the perspective of the shot, they digitally reconstructed the set. what you see is the 3d digital set superimposed over the actual footage.
@memol83 Exactly. It's my favorite shot from this. The biped version of the raptor animates so choppy, and I can't imagine how long it took to render in 1993.
...convincing in darker scenes, and the Rex escape sequence is shot through a rain element which hides some of the cracks. Anyone know how they made the brachiosaurus' skin and muscles sag and wobble after it thunks to the ground after eating the leaves (the first dino that Grant sees)? Can't have been easy to preview such detail with 1993 computers.

It's the little things that make these effects so good - the focus on making the dinosaurs look REAL (CGI is often used as a cost effective shortcut, here it's a tool towards creating realism), Spielberg's camera angles are often low and looking up at the creature as a we would in real life, the audio adds mass and realism by combing existing animal sounds, the skin textures were taken from elephants and other animals we can relate to. The lighting is dramatic, I find the CGI particularly convi
Some shot were 100% realistic, like in the kitchen, the T-rex with the car, etc. But at 2:57, they don't look as realistic as the others. They're like too saturated to match the bg plate.
Always use puppets/animatronics for close shots: that's the key to be realistic (but you can skip this if you're badass animators like the ones who made Gollum"
I still don't understand why Jurassic Park's CGI look much better than much of the CGI today. I could have swore they were all anamatronic, it never felt like you were looking at something made by computers where as now those things stick out terribly.
@EmperorMAR I think it's because of the cinematography. I was just watching some clips of Jurrasic Park 3 and the cgi in this looks better than in that movie. All the cinematography in this movie is still but in modern movies they movie the camera around unnaturally and it makes everything look fake and corny.
@MrPassiontea actually thats not entirely the animators fault, but the key guy, watch the bonus disc, they show a scene with the guy responsible for laying all elements toguether, and in one shot, he meshes the dinos very realistic with the actors, then the other shot the dinos stand like fake, and thats the one they used in the movie, i was like, WTF !
@EmperorMAR Even with all the tools that we have today, doing dinosaurs would still be as difficult. The difference is that at that time, those dinosaurs were like the most advanced effects they could do, so everyone were putting their efforts on that. Nowdays, because the possibilities are almost endless and all the movies have way more complex cgi, the people aren't just working one this one thing, but also one everything else that they need to create so it's like: more quantity, less quality.
@Poever No, you can use After Effects for the composting into live action. You would need a 3d program for the actual animation and then match moving to compensate for the camera movement.
ILM has been replaced by Weta...Weta has taken it to an entire new level. Must admit these effects were very well done for 93. But the reason it looks so good is b/c it was done very simple. And they focused on the needed things. The Dino's in King Kong however were the best done so far. WETA!
@Fiorwestcoast Nah, the dinosaurs in King Kong were animated too fluidly, which took them out of reality for me. King King himself though was one of the best looking CGI characters I have ever seen, since his fur looked so real. For me, the T.rex bursting out of the trees and attacking the Gallimimus in harsh daylight has never been topped in my opinion.
This looks more realistic than Avatar! My friend said to me that about 20 years from now we are going to laugh to the CGI in Avatar! They maybe said so to Jurassic Park to, but I am not laughing!
@rexcrossnet I agree to some extent. I think that the CGI in Avatar when it came to the Na'Vi and the enviroment was absolutely amasing and probably the best CGI i've ever seen. I do agree that some of the CGI shots in Jurassic Park looks better then some of the creatures in Avatar.
@Nikon05 It seemed like a logical next step at the time. The Abyss and Terminator 2 set the stage just a couple years earlier. Looking at it in a different perspective, its hard for me to believe so little has progressed since then. But I guess there are just times when there are breakthroughs, and then lots of time in between breakthroughs when the big ideas and manifestations are just enhanced. I mean, why don't we all drive flying cars by now?
@ichater I think its because CGI has become a lazy man's tool. Too often you see things in movies that are CG and look CG but didn't need to be. Instead they could have filmed real things and added them in. JP took real images and added them into frames where as now it is simply CG created images. JP also used animatronics in addition to the CGI. The idea behind this movie was to make it all seem real and indistinguishable which I think it did that's why it will never look dated.
Jp have's the best cgi every.. in that time cgi was very realistic but I know why the cgi is not that great anymore.. because these day's everyone exspects that there is cgi in a movie else it's not a movie anymore and in the old days cgi was a method for things that could't build today if there is a car needed in a scene they just build it with cgi.. why not taking a real car ? nope just made it with cgi.. also face masking's with cgi it's just normal these day's
Agreed.. very sad that this was 1993, and the creatures look on par or better than a lot of cg done today. I think this shows that back at that time, the cg artists had a lot more of an eye for what looks good on camera with a background in practical fx, rather than many artists today who have only ever worked behind a computer screen.
These shots are awesome and they have a strong historical significance.
One thing that needs to be remembered though when compared to current ones is that in the 20 years since these were created, the average VFX driven movie shot count went up by a factor of 2-300. King Kong or Avatar had around 3000 shots, most of which have visual effects, sometimes long closeups of creatures.
Jurassic Park had around 14 with CGI dinos, all of which would just be filler shots nowadays.
"Compositing the dinosaurs onto the live action scenes took around an hour. Rendering the dinosaurs often took two to four hours per frame, and rendering the T. rex in the rain even took six hours per frame."
Ah these shots are a testament to the 'careful' handling of post production tools - something that doesn't get addressed on the comments of videos like the making of Robocop's ED-209, which are cluttered with CG bashing.
These days JP has nothing on creatures that you see in big budget films, although for its age, it still looks really good, extremely well executed, and not looking all cheezy like other films appear after several years. It will forever remain a classic that sparked a massive revolution in motion picture special effects. Tell you what, when I was 6yo in 93, the family dragged me along to see it at the theater, anytime t-rex and the raptors appeared on screen, I curled up in fear!
i personally think that these effects still kick ass even after 20years on, the shit that studios are chucking out today such as poseidon e.g the opening ship scene can b created in hours so lack of effort are put in if only modern cgi films can be created using the software jurassic park used. it may be old but god dam it worked!
These effect look top notch. They have aged very well. Timeless effects. What seals the deal is the movement and skin effect. I honestly think this still looks better than most (more than 95%) of modern CGI creatures in film.
@vfmc77 There is a very good explanation for that. If you are into sfx, you should know who Dennis Muren is, don't you? Well, in a interview, he said that NEW ANIMATORS don't do their work based and inspired by nature, instead, they are inspired by other movies, and they lost the principal source of inspiration, which is NATURE. The early cgi effects, were made by people like him, or Ken Ralston, who used the cgi as a tool, but always thinking in how things look in real life. Audiences can spot
@vfmc77 I agree. I don't get why it's so hard to make CGI effects look as good today as they did in 1993. 'Avatar' did it, Peter Jackson's 'King Kong' did it pretty well, and 'Pirates of the Caribbean', too. The dinosaurs in JP look REAL. Pretty much everything else has the greasy, polygonal look of computer graphics.
That's honestly just one thing that's annoyed the hell out of me in the movie industry. This was 1994. It's unbelievable how well this CG stands up today. Did they really just achieve something way ahead of it's time, or have so many studios become lazy and overpaid, churning out CG effects for movies in an uninspired and rushed fashion?
an incredible job on the part of the guys (and girls :P) who did the texturing for those creatures, the animation is quite amazing, but what really made it seem real was the skin texture...
@1j0k3 yeah i wud lk to add is at that time ther were no "out of the box solution" available to create stuff like this..it was 1st time that ilm did creatures on computers,imagine the difficulty compard to today..today we hav all the tools available...seriously hatts off
now i am convinced that those dinosaurs were not real.. LOL

The difference is that at that time, those dinosaurs were like the most advanced effects they could do, so everyone were putting their efforts on that. Nowdays, because the possibilities are almost endless and all the movies have way more complex cgi, the people aren't just working one this one thing, but also one everything else that they need to create so it's like: more quantity, less quality.

@Poever NO you need a 3d program model a dinosaur rigg it make a animation render it with vray use after effects to do motion tracking and thats it
sander217 7 months ago
@Poever No, you can use After Effects for the composting into live action. You would need a 3d program for the actual animation and then match moving to compensate for the camera movement.

ILM has been replaced by Weta...Weta has taken it to an entire new level. Must admit these effects were very well done for 93. But the reason it looks so good is b/c it was done very simple. And they focused on the needed things. The Dino's in King Kong however were the best done so far. WETA!
Fiorwestcoast 8 months ago
@Fiorwestcoast Nah, the dinosaurs in King Kong were animated too fluidly, which took them out of reality for me. King King himself though was one of the best looking CGI characters I have ever seen, since his fur looked so real. For me, the T.rex bursting out of the trees and attacking the Gallimimus in harsh daylight has never been topped in my opinion.

This looks more realistic than Avatar! My friend said to me that about 20 years from now we are going to laugh to the CGI in Avatar! They maybe said so to Jurassic Park to, but I am not laughing!
rexcrossnet 8 months ago
@rexcrossnet I agree to some extent. I think that the CGI in Avatar when it came to the Na'Vi and the enviroment was absolutely amasing and probably the best CGI i've ever seen. I do agree that some of the CGI shots in Jurassic Park looks better then some of the creatures in Avatar.

@Nikon05 It seemed like a logical next step at the time. The Abyss and Terminator 2 set the stage just a couple years earlier. Looking at it in a different perspective, its hard for me to believe so little has progressed since then. But I guess there are just times when there are breakthroughs, and then lots of time in between breakthroughs when the big ideas and manifestations are just enhanced. I mean, why don't we all drive flying cars by now?

@ichater I think its because CGI has become a lazy man's tool. Too often you see things in movies that are CG and look CG but didn't need to be. Instead they could have filmed real things and added them in. JP took real images and added them into frames where as now it is simply CG created images. JP also used animatronics in addition to the CGI. The idea behind this movie was to make it all seem real and indistinguishable which I think it did that's why it will never look dated.

Jp have's the best cgi every.. in that time cgi was very realistic but I know why the cgi is not that great anymore.. because these day's everyone exspects that there is cgi in a movie else it's not a movie anymore and in the old days cgi was a method for things that could't build today if there is a car needed in a scene they just build it with cgi.. why not taking a real car ? nope just made it with cgi.. also face masking's with cgi it's just normal these day's

shairaptor 1 year ago 4
Agreed.. very sad that this was 1993, and the creatures look on par or better than a lot of cg done today. I think this shows that back at that time, the cg artists had a lot more of an eye for what looks good on camera with a background in practical fx, rather than many artists today who have only ever worked behind a computer screen.
dragnink09 1 year ago
These shots are awesome and they have a strong historical significance.
One thing that needs to be remembered though when compared to current ones is that in the 20 years since these were created, the average VFX driven movie shot count went up by a factor of 2-300. King Kong or Avatar had around 3000 shots, most of which have visual effects, sometimes long closeups of creatures.
Jurassic Park had around 14 with CGI dinos, all of which would just be filler shots nowadays.

From Wikipedia:
"Compositing the dinosaurs onto the live action scenes took around an hour. Rendering the dinosaurs often took two to four hours per frame, and rendering the T. rex in the rain even took six hours per frame."

Ah these shots are a testament to the 'careful' handling of post production tools - something that doesn't get addressed on the comments of videos like the making of Robocop's ED-209, which are cluttered with CG bashing.

deathisoverated1 1 year ago
These days JP has nothing on creatures that you see in big budget films, although for its age, it still looks really good, extremely well executed, and not looking all cheezy like other films appear after several years. It will forever remain a classic that sparked a massive revolution in motion picture special effects. Tell you what, when I was 6yo in 93, the family dragged me along to see it at the theater, anytime t-rex and the raptors appeared on screen, I curled up in fear!
joshnc101 1 year ago 3
i personally think that these effects still kick ass even after 20years on, the shit that studios are chucking out today such as poseidon e.g the opening ship scene can b created in hours so lack of effort are put in if only modern cgi films can be created using the software jurassic park used. it may be old but god dam it worked!

These effect look top notch. They have aged very well. Timeless effects. What seals the deal is the movement and skin effect. I honestly think this still looks better than most (more than 95%) of modern CGI creatures in film.
vfmc77 1 year ago 123
@vfmc77 There is a very good explanation for that. If you are into sfx, you should know who Dennis Muren is, don't you? Well, in a interview, he said that NEW ANIMATORS don't do their work based and inspired by nature, instead, they are inspired by other movies, and they lost the principal source of inspiration, which is NATURE. The early cgi effects, were made by people like him, or Ken Ralston, who used the cgi as a tool, but always thinking in how things look in real life. Audiences can spot
zate1982 1 year ago 7
@vfmc77 I agree. I don't get why it's so hard to make CGI effects look as good today as they did in 1993. 'Avatar' did it, Peter Jackson's 'King Kong' did it pretty well, and 'Pirates of the Caribbean', too. The dinosaurs in JP look REAL. Pretty much everything else has the greasy, polygonal look of computer graphics.

That's honestly just one thing that's annoyed the hell out of me in the movie industry. This was 1994. It's unbelievable how well this CG stands up today. Did they really just achieve something way ahead of it's time, or have so many studios become lazy and overpaid, churning out CG effects for movies in an uninspired and rushed fashion?
