Another stop motion sequence shows a Diplodocus pushing a double decker bus along with it's head and pulling up a tree outside Westminster Abbey - yikes!
London.
A brief sequence shows a model Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur in stop motion footage (Ray Harryhausen?) eating the flesh of a dead dinosaur.
Several shots show model maker Arthur Hayward at home, working on a drawing and paper skeleton of a dinosaur, then winding a plaster of Paris bandage around a wire dino shape under the watchful eye of a model Diplodocus. Finished heads of other models are seen. We then see Arthur covering a Diplodocus shape with grey plasticine and marking creases into the 'skin'; great shot of his enlarged eye looking through a magnifying glass. Commentator says Arthur works at the Natural History Museum and his models are used in films such as 'One Million Years BC'.
Arthur takes another Diplodocus (or could be the same one) from a plaster mould, then places a rubber dino skeleton into the same mould and pours pink latex rubber (whisked in a kitchen mixer) in through a hole. Arthur shows how the arms and mouths of the finished models can move, due to their jointed skeletons. A little tableau shows a Tyrannosaurus Rex growling with moving mouth and a Stegosaurus eating grass.
BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984.

I learned how to do this in the early 80s. I created several Harryhausen figures and some Dinosaurs. Animated a few too. It was a blast.
How do you them?
How do you do them
@@uncannychickentheking I used armature wire, foam & latex rubber, and acrylic paint mixed with liquid latex.
I don't suppose you have those animations on your channel.
It’d be great to see those dinosaurs you made!
Fascinating to see how much dinosaurs have changed.
A mere few years until the Dinosaur Renaissance.
Imagine going back to the 60s, telling people that, by the mid-70s, they'll see birds with different eyes.
Another wonderful British Pathe film. Great model work, and nice to see the die-cast vehicles at the end.
The voice makes this seem 20 years older than it actually is
3:01 You can see a dalek!
really feels good and a bit funny to look back at these and realize all the outdated information and inaccuracies
Wow love the vintage Dinosaur models. 🦕 so much talent here
0:36 10 million years before mankind?
more like 150 million for the Sauropods
Yeah, dating methods weren’t as pinpoint as they are now 😂 but that’s what good science does! It progresses!
Great footage!
Zdenek Burian's illustrations ❤️
Thanks for this post! If I had seen this as a kid, I might never have become a musician!
I've wondered about who made those models for decades (thought it was Harryhausen himself, but wasn't sure).
How cool would it be to have a modern dinosaur documentary but it's stop motion i would love to watch that.
Man if I could buy these, I actually would. Would anyone else buy some of these models?
I would love to have them too, and try to make a stop motion fim.
Pretty sure they'd be too deteriorated nowadays!
Its so cool to see how much ower understanding of dinosaurs hade changed
Magnifique et formidable
Pour le procédé du stop motion. Des dinosaures plus vrai que nature.
Retrosaurs my beloved
I don't think it's a regular liquid latex rubber.it looks more like foam latex because he mixed it in a mixer.
Man that is so cool! I want them!😎👍
These are pioneers ❤❤❤❤ love their effort ❤❤❤❤
Awesome works and an amazing artist
Thank you
The robot at the end was the most accurate thing in the video.
Such Simple Methods.
Great stuff
the monstrous movements of crustaceas carnivores.
Es una lastima que ya no se hagan cosas ahi con las descripciones actuales de los dinosaurios 😢
If anyone sees this comment, what is the weird white enclosure used to put the latex in? 1:39
I guess that’s like a case for the latex to stay in and form into rubber around the puppet. Not sure what it’s really called
It's a Plaster of Paris mold. Before modern flexible silicone rubber, artists would pour plaster in sections over their model to cast replicas. Typically the initial model is sculpted from clay, then a mold is made of it as described above. This method is still used today to make replicas of such things as sculptures.
@@calessel3139 Thanks!
@@katianalaurent2499 You're welcome!
Does anybody know if any brands make dinosaurs like those he makes in the videos?
a dipalodocus woud not attack an city it wold just eat the treess
what are the ingredients to make a model of a stop motion dinosaur
WoW the super great.
0:34 I’m sorry, did the narrator just say TEN million years before mankind?
I think so and isn’t it 66 MYA
@@AircraftafaNot in this case, since Diplodocus lived in the Jurassic Period, not the Cretaceous.
2:38 what does he say here?
2:38 what dinosaur did he mention? Or did he just mispronounce gorgosaurus?
Hi make by ray harryhausen
They're so cute
What about suit acting?
How would you make the skeleton shown at 1:55 I wanna make some 😢
Te recomendaría que fuera uno similar al de armadura de animación pero si lo que gustas es un esqueleto como ese un imprecion 3 D articulada es tu mejor opción
Anyone watch this 8 years later
Yep
Especial effects dinossaúro??????
old dinosaur ;]
Could have done without the unnecessary music
Wasn't born until the 21at century but it was much better times other than the inaccurate dinosaurs
