    Thank you again to Jim and Scott for taking time out of their day and talking to me about this project and John for organising the whole thing. Sorry If the audio isn't crystal clear I had a little problem with one of the mics, which I should have caught.

      Valandar2 If we are talking about hyper realistic movie computer graphics, then definetly. But in games feathers mostly are just planes with alpha masks and aren't simulated but manually animated or if they are simulated, it is in clusters, not each feather individually. Overall, not that amazing.

      Not only that, but the keratin covering that was on the surface has completely decomposed, leaving just the inside bone of the claw. With that covering, the claw would be slightly longer, and way sharper!

    In defence of the Jurassic Park franchise, when the book and movie first came out it was very accurate with what science knew at the time, and changed the view of many people on dinosaurs like the t-rex posture and the inteligence. But as science marched on, they had an established image they could hardly move away from. I still wish they would add more feathers and all. But yeah when it came out it was as accurate as could be in a movie

    • @lachlanmacarthur8992
      @lachlanmacarthur8992 Před 6 lety +39

      Olivia Williams well to some extent. They they already knew that raptors couldn't pronate their hands in that way and the dillo was purer artistic interpretation. But Jurassic park was the first dinosaur media to portray them as active and warm blooded and at least mention their relationship with birds. So i give credit for that

    • @MWSin1
      @MWSin1 Před 6 lety +20

      The novel/movie Velociraptor was based on Deinonychus, but was called Velociraptor because the name is catchier. It notably lacks the distinctive long and thin skull of Velociraptor.
      That does make one thing kind of funny: Deinonychus was about the size of the movie's Dilophosaurus, while Dilophosaurus was about the size of the movie's Velociraptor.

    • @lachlanmacarthur8992
      @lachlanmacarthur8992 Před 6 lety +7

      MWSin1 the reason why it was called velociraptor instead of deinonychus is because in the 70s some paleontologist thought that they were the same genus. We know that's not true now. In fact we knew when the film came out but as you said they went with velociraptor because it sounded better.

    I love this. Being a Paleontologist was my dream. But sadly there was no colleges close to me that offered it. And I could not afford to travel to the places that did. Thank you for sharing this with use.

    In my recommended for no apparent reason but this was a pretty entertaining interview. I hope someone took him up on making that documentary.
