Dinosaur egg fossils - Walking with Dinosaurs: Ballad of Big Al - BBC

Scientists step back 145 million years to tell the story of 'Big Al', a complete skeleton of an adolescent Allorsaurus found in Wyoming in 1991. The story starts in the Atlantic coast of Portugal where the discovery of remarkable fossils of dinousaur egg shells shed light on how Big Al was born. Fascinating clip from the BBC natural history programme Walking with Dinosaurs: The Ballad of Big Al.

@kablabrules Because a family of diplodocus had taken all the available seats in the family waiting area.

@BlatzBeer Ah okay. I didn't read those numbers myself. Yeah, it really is a huge difference and in Jurassic Park they had less screen time of CGI effects of course so they had much more money to do few minute sequences compared to whole series being made with CGI.

Another point I must mention is Star Wars prequels. Because even those effects aren't as good as JP. But that just proves that it is better to use CGI and real models combined. Both are made by ILM...

[BlatzBeer]

@TuomioK Much bigger budget, and probably more time as well. From what I recall reading in an article, the producers had an American special effects outfit (ILM) bid on doing the CG but they would have put the series way over budget, at $10,000 per running *second* of finished product. British outfit Framestore came to the rescue with a lower bid, but a few well-calculated corners were cut, I imagine. The series cost $10 million total to produce. JP1 was budgeted at $73 million.

@NotAPartOfYourSystem Yeah. And I've been to Wyoming and I didn't see near this many dinosaurs. Just a couple. I think they're exaggerating.

[NotAPartOfYourSystem]

This is so fake. There were no cameras millions of years ago so how could they get pictures of them!?

[JackeShanTwo]

@TuomioK Yes? You're comparing a documentary to a hollywood movie.

[TuomioK]

@JackeShanTwo This was the most expensive documentary per minute at the time. But maybe it was not enough.
