“I couldn’t believe my eyes”: 32 years ago, Steven Spielberg did not immediately realize that he was one of the biggest revolutions of the cinema

At the back of the jeep, sitting in the shades of Yuras Park, in the green lowland, Professor Alan observes the horizon. Suddenly his gaze frosts. Her lips are temporarily suspended. With fever by hand, he removes his hat, corrects, grabs his glasses, and two visible eyes touches the giant Braziosur that faces him.

“This … this is a dinosaur”, He barely manages to articulate.

“Prove me to be possible”

We can imagine that Steven Spielberg had to have about the same reaction, during the production of Jurassic Park, when he found the first creatures of his film that are digitally animated by the power of the power Muren.

Indeed, until he could find out what the computers could now, the director of the sea teeth initially thought that his dinosaurs were given the animation of Phil typette, a parked movement, which would therefore be animated according to “old -fashioned” monsters.

“I absolutely didn’t know that this new process – CGI – worked”Says Steven Spielberg Making dinosaurs in the documentary.

“I just bombed Dennis Mururan questions about James Cameron’s abyss about the essentials of water. This really impressed me and everything was done with a computer. Then, Cameron made a giant leap with a terminator And this led Dennis Muren to offer me an offer and ask me if I thought they made most of the big dinosaurs, from the tail, to the computer. My first reaction was to him, “Confirm that this is possible.” “

Thanks to the talents of his teams (and in particular that the visual Steve Williams, whose history tells in detail), Dennis Muren was able to offer a spectacular demonstration of Steven Spielberg on what a fully animated dinosaur may look like. The director’s reaction to the outcome? Thus, the film is similar to Alan Grant.

“I believed in my eyes”

“I have never seen such fluid movements except for national geographical documentaries”He explains.

“(…) I was not completely sure before I could see the dinosaur, which is covered with flesh, outside, in the daytime. So we found that we were thinking about our next TV screen. It was so authentic that I believed in my eyes. I have applied to Phil He looked at me and he said to me, ‘I think Extinct. “

Cynical observation that Spielberg also decided to verbally integrate into his film, Sam Neil and Jeff Goldblum in a small dialogue.

As for Phil typette, even if he continued to work on the Jurassic Park Project as a special effect consultant, most of its characteristic models have been replaced by the full digital substance we know.
