(Aug. 4)Dinosaurs are walking the gardens of earth again - well New York's Madison Square Garden at least. "Walking with Dinosaurs" is an exhibit so large, it only fits in sports arenas. Based on the British Broadcast Corporation's (BBC) documentary series, the show details the creatures 200 million-year rule on earth and combines lessons in climate change, evolution and plate-tectonics. Bringing the prehistoric creatures to life is accomplished with sophisticated 21st-century technology. SOT Matthew McCoy, puppeteer "ALL THE LIVE PUPPETS YOU SEE IN THE SHOW ARE ONE AND A HALF TONS. THEY'RE CONTROLLED BY THREE PEOPLE SO THERE'S ONE PERSON UNDERNEATH, DRIVING THE PUPPET THROUGH ITS CHOREOGRAPHY. THEN THERE'S ANOTHER PUPPETEER UP HERE CONTROLLING THIS APPARATUS, WHICH WE CALL A 'VOODOO RIG'. THIS ARTICULATED SPINE THAT YOU SEE HERE HAS ALL THE AXES OF MOVEMENT THAT THE PUPPETS HAVE DOWN THERE." Realistic movement is one thing, but selling that look to the crowds required sophisticated choreography and music. [Notes:UPSOUND - Dinosaurs]And sell it they did.[Notes:SOT: Nick Barbera, Visitor]IT WAS MARVELLOUS. DINOSAURS ARE SUPERB."[Notes:SOT: Yale Kaufman, visitor]"THE SCARIEST PART WAS DEFINITELY WHEN THE T. REX CAME UP TO OUR ROW AND STARTED SCREAMING. THAT WAS PRETTY SCARY. BUT IT MADE IT ALL BETTER WHEN THE LITTLE ONE STARTED TO GO WITH IT. IT WAS LIKE 'RARRR' SO, YEAH, THAT WAS PRETTY FUN, TOO." [Notes:Wide: Kid running out door covering his ears]But for some attendees, all that realism was a bit too much. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)
