Explaining how shots from the Jurassic franchise function, using composition, color theory, and everything in between!

Due to our aforementioned long-term project, we will not be posting our regular content for the next few weeks.

Our slots are filling up. We’ll do a formal entry system after this first batch, but this is a race for the best shots, so be fast!

Alright, folks!

We’re going to be organizing a shot-for-shot fan remake of Jurassic Park. You can act, animate, use toys, pets, whatever you want! Just make sure your shot is approximately as long as the original. We’ll start by filling in the most popular slots. (1/2)

Never underestimate the work that goes into VFX shots. Digital artists work just as hard as those who create practical effects.

Animators are essential, even if you have motion capture readily available. There’s nothing wrong with experimenting with new technology, but bear in mind that animators are there for a reason. Don’t discredit them by propagating uninformed mistruths about the industry.

Hey, Jurassic Fans!

Just popping in to share an impromptu #WednesdayWisdom with you.

This is going to be a thread about why motion capture should NOT be overused in upcoming Jurassic films.

[Jurassic Cinematography @JurassicCinema]

There are times when motion capture is useful, such as complex stunts done by human characters, but for the most part, we need to be giving more credit to animators. Instead of assuming that a computer will “do the work”, please remember that it’s more complicated than that.
