I was also convinced of this. I mean, it's a goddamn dinosaur, of course it can get to the car faster than a fat man in a rainstorm who lost his glasses.

[–]latecraigy 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Especially since I had read the book which had those little tiny dinosaurs (can't remember what their called) that could run super fast. They might have been in the movie at one point but now I can't remember.

Procompsognathus! I know for sure they showed up in Jurassic Park II, they pretty much copy-pasted the scene from the first book where the owner (Hammond) falls down a hill and gets eaten.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I think there was such a scene in the 2nd book too, closer to what occurred in the movie. It's been so long since I've read both of those.

[–]Brisco_County_III 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wouldn't surprise me at all, Crichton was big on using "careful" as a stand-in for "good guy", and falling down a hill is pretty not-careful.

Incidentally, my friend fell down a hill in the Amazon, got lost, and eventually was nearly eaten by a jaguar.

Actually it's kind of a sad story. Phil Tippet was hired to create the dinosaur effects using the "go-motion" animation technique he developed. However, ILM went ahead and did a CG animation test, and Spielberg was so impressed that he decided to use it instead. When Tippet was told, he exclaimed "I've just become extinct."

[–]AngryWalrus 460 points461 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, but Spielberg kept him as shot supervisor to make sure the dinos moved realistically, and this job earned him an oscar. So not sad at all after all...

Didn't ILM develop that keyframe animation robot tool so that phil and his animation team could still help with animating the dinosaurs in cg too? I think it mentioned that in the making of documentary, that robot was boss.

My girlfriend's uncle is in the credits, Steve Redding. He worked for ILM and currently works for Tippet Studios. He's so out of the fame loop, however, while shooting Jurassic Park he didn't even realize he was in the room with Spielberg. I once talked to him (harassed him with questions) for hours at a family gathering about working on Jurassic Park. He's also worked on Starship Troopers and more recently, Immortals.

[–]swizzler 28 points29 points ago

they only did a couple, the raptor kitchen scene and the T-Rex Breakout. Tippett got scolded for making the tongues do that because it made them look like lizards.

[–][deleted] 41 points42 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Those are not the original tests, those were animated story boards. This is one of the original stop motion tests.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEK9mitagS8

Unfortunately youtube does not have the original CGI tests that convinced Spielberg to go from stop motion to all CGI when required. One is about a dozen Gallimimus skeletons running which convinced Spielberg to allow ILM to do the Gallimimus scenes. The second was a full CGI trex walking through a field. When Spielberg saw this he axed all stop motion.

EDIT: Found the CGI Trex test:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQGFiRzv1hE&feature=related

The making of Jurassic Park shows all these clips and they go into detail on they were made. Hopefully with the bluray coming out in 2 months we will see some more stuff of how they did this. This was ILM coming out and convincing and the studios that CGI was the next big thing.

[–]Brisco_County_III 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nice finds!

That stop motion T-rex test is quite impressive! The CGI test is a hell of a lot better for moviemaking, but thank god they got Tippett in to fix the actual motions. They really didn't look like how large animals move.

Wait... what? The most important decision-maker on a multi-million dollar production makes a wise call and someone's job changes slightly but they're still on the payroll and go on to win an oscar for one of the greatest movies of all time... and this makes the director a dick?

[–]Walletau 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Honestly? I'd be guessing the possibility of a spin off. He was pretty horrible. What annoyed me the most was that he was really proud of the fact that he tinkered around with the knife for the entirety of the production. That was the most awkward knife handling I've ever seen in a film.

I'd be guessing the possibility of a spin off.

Nah, if they were setting up for that Shia LaBeouf would have picked up the hat at the end. Instead, Ford picks it up and gives him a look to say "You’re no Indy".

And, yes, I think the movie was ham-fisted enough that they would have done it the other way if they were planning a spin-off.

Qaddafi murdered innocent people. Phil did special effects for a movie whose demographic is 13-year-old girls and was never intended to appeal to you. Apples and oranges.

Even worse than that, Phil Tippet lost his job and ended up living out of his car for several years. After finally getting an opportunity to work again, a seemingly minor earthquake crumbled the reasonably sized home he had managed to purchase on his minor salary. He was quoted on the local news as saying, "Although I might be kind of sore, just open the door and get on the floor. Everybody walk the dinosaur."

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS SUPERVISE THE DAMN DINOSAURS CJ

[–]LxB 40 points41 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

How exactly does one supervise a dinosaur? I think traditionally when you are supervising someone/thing, you keep them out of trouble or from doing anything they aren't supposed to. Dinosaurs are supposed to cause a ruckus and eat things, or so I'm led to believe. So as far as I'm concerned, Phil gets an A+ for his supervisory abilities, because those dinosaurs did their dinosauring so well all those remaining on the islands were required to hold onto their butts.

I the textless version on tumblr today with thousands of notes (I feel like it was tens of thousands), and two different gif versions, one with a few hundred notes and one in the low thousands. It's just one of those things that's going around right now.

This just mind fucked my day, I grew up at Tippet studios. My dad was a foreman and particle effects guy. He would basically just leave me to my own devices, mostly I watched a lot of Ren and Stimpy in the screening theater, and played on an old Star Wars arcade box. Hanging around the studio in cases were the Raptor models from Jurassic Park, the ED-209 from Robo-Cop, and several of the monkeys from Jumanji.

At the time they were working on Virus and Starship Troopers, and the life size models used to entertain me to no end. They were real enough that I was afraid to touch any of the foam latex muscles hanging off the virus monsters for fear of them being sticky with blood.

Phil Tippett is kind of a bad-ass, he pioneered a lot of stop motion animation techniques. Although I have no idea why he gave Nedry so much access.

My friend used to work at Tippet Studios. They do effects for all these crappy movies like The Mask 2. I wonder if things would be different had he actually gotten to do the dinosaurs.

this guy did work on indiana jones, star wars and he got to be a dinosaur supervisor? He must be pretty popular with the ladies... maybe not :( Perhaps he should try his luck with amy farrah fowler.
