not gonna lie that still looks intimately real

I’m still somewhat convinced that someone sold their soul to create the special effects in Jurassic Park because that shit is over 20 years old and it still really, really holds up, better than the stuff in a lot of current movies, even.

Fucking witchcraft, man. 

fucking look at this shit though

Literally see this post flying around with a few different responses added to the bottom each time so I’ll say it for this one myself:

THEY ACTUALLY BUILT A GIANT MASSIVELY DETAILED FUCKING ANIMATRONIC T-REX FOR ALL OF THIS THAT’S WHY THE EFFECTS ARE SO GOOD. CAUSE IT AIN’T CGI. AND IT AIN’T GUY IN A COSTUME. IT’S A BIG FUCKING ROBOT DINOSAUR. AND EVERY PART IS DESIGNED TO MOVE. IT COST LIKE HALF THE BUDGET OF THE FILM.

amazing

And they had the film it in small increments, especially in the outdoor scenes, because the rain fall kept soaking into the ‘skin’ of the rex and would slow down and mess up its movements. So they would stop filming and have a crew out there drying off this massive, fake dinosaur, and then they’d start filming again until it was too wet. Repeat until the end of the scene.

They used animatronics and detailed costumes for most if not all of the dinosaurs in the first movie.

The triceratops for instance, was also animatronic.

And the raptors were dudes in suits. I shit you not.

One of my favorite anecdotes I’ve read on tumblr is how the t-rex robot from Jurassic park would malfunction while it was drying out. How did it malfunction, you might wonder?

Motherfucker randomly started moving.

So apparently if you were on the jp set you would sometimes hear people screaming bloody murder even though they were all well aware that it was a giant animatronic puppet and wouldn’t actually, you know, eat them.

(link to said post about malfunctioning t-rex)

Did not know this, had to reblog for awesome movie history insights.

So, I knew about the animatronics bit but I did not know the raptors were guys in suits and the malfunctioning t-rex sounds terrifying.

And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.

So of course, the power goes out.

And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.

Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while you’re inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.

And this guy hoped for the best and got it.

Some other people on stage pried open the t-rex jaws and glue guy crawled out of its mouth and was totally okay.

This is getting better and better.

I think they only had like 6 minutes of CGI

I’m just waiting for the T-Rex to come to life and leave its stand.

@spinosaurus-the-fisher is this the kind of content you love?

Realism comes at a cost, it seems.

i mean ok but why has nobody posted this:

It’s a three piece raptor suit.

Old movies had the best special effects

You make me wanna watch Jurassic Park again. xD

My parents knew a guy who worked at ILM when they made this, the cgi he worked on was some/most of the tree limbs from the scene where the jeep is falling down the tree. They hadn’t figured out how to animate skin yet.

Let’s talk about how we’re not even a month into 2016 and the year is already wild af:

• B.o.B. - a rapper - for some odd reason, is convinced that the Earth is flat and not spherical, and how NASA is hiding the truth about this information. His idiotic tweets eventually managed to get the attention of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, - an astrophysicist - who swiftly corrected him and threw a little bit of shade in there for good measure. B.o.B. then released a diss track for Tyson called “Flatline.” Tyson then got his nephew to ether tf out of B.o.B for being stupid and disrespectful in a diss track called “Flat to Fact.” Tyson himself then went on The Nightly Show and flamed B.o.B’s dumbass live. B.o.B. also doesn’t believe the Holocaust actually happened, but hardly anyone paid attention to that. (x)
• Wiz Khalifa went on a rant about Kanye’s album title change and how he’s biting off of Max B’s “wavy” influence, ending with “Hit this kk and become yourself.” Kanye mistook “kk” for a jab at Kim Kardashian and unleashed hell on not only Wiz, but Amber Rose and their child as well. Amber Rose took notice and decided to tell the whole world that Kanye likes to get his ass played with. In case you were wondering what Wiz meant by “kk,” it’s weed; Wiz said Kanye’s ignorant reaction to kk is proof as to why he ain’t wavy enough to change his album title to “Waves” in the first place. (x)
• Blac Chyna is now dating Rob Kardashian, and is actually being very supportive of him as she helps him get his life and health back on track; However, she’ll likely be sitting right across from Kylie and Tyga at the dinner table from now on. (x)
• Rihanna’s new album “Anti” got leaked a day before it was finally released; her opening song “Consideration” featured SZA, who was recently dragged because of her 5 year old tweet stating that Rihanna (and Ciara) can’t sing. (x)
• R. Kelly confessed that he asked for his own mother’s hand in marriage. (x)
• Susan Osbourne tweeted that she had a dream that Shaq gave her that pipe and now she’s publicly thirsting over him despite being a married woman. Shaq’s playing along with it too. (x)
• Frosted Flakes mascot Tony the Tiger had to block several thirsty furries on Twitter because they were legitimately sexually harassing him; some of them got so offended, they deadass slut-shammed and victim-blamed Tony for the harassment he received, suggesting he wear more clothes if he doesn’t like the unwanted attention. Cheetos mascot Chester Cheetah then jumped in and took advantage of the situation, welcoming the heartbroken furries to his Twitter instead. Keep in mind, we’re talking about cartoon mascots here. (x)
• The FBI hosted a legitimate child pornography website as bait to catch consumers, supplying them with approx. 23,000 pictures and videos of actual child porn. Despite gaining 215,000 registered users, they only managed to arrest 25 people. (x)
• Donald Trump openly stated that his voters are so mindless “loyal,” he could go out outside and shoot someone down in public, and he’ll still have enough supporters to win the election. (x)
• Meek Mill’s not doing much, yet he somehow still manages to continue holding L’s. (x)
