Snapping a T Rex - Doctor Who - BBC classic sci-fi

Perhaps it's Sarah's journalistic instincts or perhaps it's not... However, using a flash to snap a T-Rex is questionable under any circumstances!

Jon Pertwee stars as The Doctor in this clip from BBC Classic Doctor Who 'Invasion of the Dinosaurs'.

LOL The Doctor should have taken Sarah into the future to see Jurassic Park after that XD

It was good them days. They thought then that all dinosaurs looked like kangaroos too.

This is what all new series episodes will look like once the CGI goes out of date.

She should have stood still so that it couldn't see her.

And of course, they gave it 3 fingers, not to mention the tripod stance. A true classic indeed.

This could be genuinely scary if they'd kept it in silouhette (maybe written a blackout into the script), then had shafts of light to pick out certain details like a twitching claw or a flickering eyelid. Then filmed the attack through the window with only a strobing light or pulsing red emergency light. And if they'd used more cuts they could've disguised the awkward movement. With some good post-production and editing software, you could cut this into quite a scary scene.

[BaileyJapes]

If they'd shut it's bloody mouth and lit it moodily, this wouldn't look half as bad. Basically the technique is IRRELEVANT. Whether you're using puppets or computers, it takes a good director to know how to use it and bring it alive. Any technique is only as good as the guy directing it. Oh and flugel76, you are a patronising fool.

Apparently,according one of the dr Who books I have, there was a much better T Rex dinosaur model that was going to be used, but it was destroyed in a fire just a day before this story went into production. The model used on screen was, apparently made in an hour as a last minute replacement. this would explain why the Stegosaurus and Triceratops look much(?) better.
