Nice animation. The only problem I have is when the carnivores eat the other dinos, it just looks unatural when they pull meat from the carcuses. That's just me though.

I am getting sick of spinosaurus. Spinosaurus this, spinosaurus that. I`ve had a fucking nough of spinosaurus. The fight was laughable, (carharodontosaurus would probably win) and the movement was poor. daspletosaurus was to skinny, chasmosaurs were only females in it, centrosaurus thing looked like a big rip off of march of the dinosaurs. Mapusaurus is in an upcoming episode and is way over done, and should have been tyrannotitan. otherwise its great!
The animation on this is not up to scratch but you have to admit this has alot more intresting and evidence to the excistance of the dinosaurs tthan WWD i mean they found a liopuredon which was 80 feet long??? I dont think so....
I saw the first episode and completely agree with other posters here. The dinosaur movement is poor. I expected so much more from the trailer and the BBC in general.
I love Dinosaurs but thiseries is poor. Why do animators always leave the floor flat? It always gives it away. WWD used of real landscapes as did JP. Has the BBC not learned from its own success. Plus the dinosaurs move like they have no joints in their bones.
hmm.. I'm very excited and all but am I the only one who thinks that a lot of the shots that look complete don't look AS GOOD as walking with dinosaurs? :/ We'll have to wait and see
I must say that I look forward to both shows, but I think you should be careful saying that this is better than Revolution. Dinosaur Revolution is about telling compelling stories in the prehistoric era that are heavily rooted in science, with sparse narration. Planet Dinosaur seems more like an upgraded version of Walking with Dinosaurs.
It's not just about the technology, there's also emotion and storytelling to Revolution.
I do wish they'd release some trailers to this now, it's not long till it screens in the UK. All this great footage, you gotta show it off! If you got it, flaunt it;)
Well it's clear from this video that many of the digital environments here are a cut above. I particularly like the clip with the ornithopods walking through the forest. March of the Dinos was a decent effort, in some respects it was highly impressive, but tended to be hit and miss in places.
They made some beginner errors on dinosaurs like Troodon. How many years is it and they're still doing a variation on Jurassic Park 'raptors', albeit with feathers.
It really depends on the quality of the environments. I believe March of the Dinosaurs was all or mostly CG environments. They can be pretty bland compared to live plates when the background is just made up of cloned trees.
What's impressive in this clip is how much that opens things up for interaction between the characters and the environment. Interactive lighting, dust and fluid simulation
Indeed, March with Dinosaurs had what I thought were some nicely designed and rigged dinosaurs (with a hint of a JP vibe to them), but environments let it down. I actually thought that the animals from March rendered into a some real world backgrops would look spectacular. Still, I think PD has much better environments, course it's hard to compete with reality but there are the obvious advantages of being able to integrate the dinosaurs a lot better, fly the camera around etc.
I think the big difference here is that Planet Dinosaur has all CG environments, which is ambitious, but the possibilities it opens up are astonishing if done right. It's an Avatar like approach and it is the future IMO. Ultimately though, be it DR or PD, the animation is the key, the movement makes or breaks it. Look at the way the Diplodocus fat wobbles about when he walks in WWD, it stands the test of time and certainly hope PD and DR do as well.
I had been more exited for Reign of the Dinosaurs(Dinosaur Revolution), because they have David Krentz. But the lighting and rendering in these clips is just vastly superior. Dinosaur Revolution will probably be better than average, but unfortunately it's still Discovery Channel.
@MaxterandKiwiKing No, Planet Dinosaur and Dinosaur revolution are not the same thing - Planet Dinosaur is a brand new BBC production with a very fresh approach to the visuals and storytelling - it's beautifully made, with groundbreaking full CG environments... No hallucinating Sauropods though, I'm afraid...
This show, while promising, the dinos don't look as grand as I expected; Discovery's DR on the other hand, is hauntingly beautiful (only complaint is that a lot of the critters might be exaggerated with each artist's own style).
@dinoscerous You're right - The problem with live back plates (like Dinosaur revolution) is that the camera is very static - A style that makes a lot of dinosaur show look very similar. Because Planet DInosaur uses completely CG backgrounds, the camera work and editing can be much more fresh, fast-paced and edgy. A very new apporach for this sort of show...
@CaptainJackSparrow26 It's been made by some of the same team who did Walking With and my sources reveal that it's looking fantastic. Look out for an Autumn broadcast...
@5Magenta Well I am looking forward to it big time. The render quality is superb.To me this sounds better than Reign of the Dinosaurs because from what I"ve read that has talking heads which I *hate* with a passion in dino docs, it takes you completely out of the moment, and well, everyone knows you have talking heads when you can't afford to show what you are talking about. So to that end this looks fantastic, I just wish I had a 3D TV!
@blotsafun This is nothing like OUR documentary. I think the British want to prove that they "think" they can make better dinosaur documentaries than we do. But our "Reign of the Dinosaurs" will bury their faces in disgrace. We'll win this Cold War of dinosaurs and take dethrone "Walking with Dinosaurs" as the best dinosaur documentary ever. AMERICA WILL PREVAIL! XD
People from those companies may have had some involvement, but it seems Discovery are latching on to that as a major selling point to boost excitement for their show and in doing so are blowing it slightly out of proportion. I'll reserve judgement until I see more than one out of context still.
@krajax Haha Walking With Dinosaurs is the Gandalf/Yoda/Dumbledore/Godfather of Dinosaur documentaries. Whereas BOTH the newer non-walking with dinosaurs makers associated stuff will probably be good but nothing like as good as WWD, its too late for either of them to try and backlash against the father that sired them. Lets face it - Walking With Dinosaurs is a class apart.
now THIS is what jurasic park 3 should be like... why not?, was it to expensive?, was it to good?, was it a waste of time since the writer hasn't made a decent movie in years?!?!... sorry... impresive work, man, just impresive
It may be just the quality of the video, but I like the dusty look of that oviraptorosaur and its feathers at 0:29. I am eagerly waiting to see how this production will turn out.
