So I have decided to animate two kittens. T. rex model by Herschel Hoffmeyer Full credits on vimeo.com/444297141
Cover to my first art book collection Carbon Based. Hoping people will dig it & hoping it’ll allow me to catch up on some things & hopefully seek relief for my back problems I’m always whining about. Thanks guys! kickstarter.com/projects/onipr…
After a year and a half (prepping and shooting “F”) I was finally able to place this beautiful gift / sculpture by @aki_shi_ Akishi-San and Ani-San directly in the Kaiju / Pac Rim Room of Bleak House!! Thank You!!!
Please welcome the AMAZING Mirasaura grauvogeli, a NEW MARVELOUS Drepanosaur published in NATURE today! This astonishing reptile lived during the Middle Triassic in Europe and it possessed an amazing crest made of plume-like structures! I was commissioned to bring it to life!
Hey ya, in the time I been gone, I been working in film, directing, editing, concept/storyboard art, soundtrack and sound design. Looking for new work, travelling is also an option😁 Here's my 2025 Dir. Reel + my site for new work, appreciate a share💙 midiaoudiallo.com
I've noticed an uptick in likes on this tweet so thought I'd give it a re-post. Many moons ago I was a University lecturer/researcher and I worked with paleontologists to explore realistic dinosaur movement and behavior through animation. Fun times!😃 #dinosaur #animation
#ThyreophoranThursday rough animation of Sophie eating a fern.
There was a time when Jurassic Park movies put genuine care and effort into the scientific minutiae. Just saying.
🚨 Exciting News! 🚨 I'm thrilled to announce my new lecture on bird flight animation! 🦅✨ Dive into the art and science of bringing birds to life through motion. 🎥🌿 Find it on Gumroad here - brendanbody.gumroad.com/l/zrzbdz #BirdAnimation #ArtInMotion #LectureAnnouncement
You here "its not a documentary" a lot online, but the first movie has a remarkable number of scenes that resemble people observing the animals as if in a nature documentary.
The biggest problem with all the JURASSIC sequels is that they only think of the dinosaurs as big scary murder monsters, but in the first film you get the sense that Spielberg *loves* these animals, even the scary ones
I always like it when folks say, "I'm just here for Dinosaurs killing people, don't know what anyone else was expecting," because it's just such a complete misunderstanding of why the first Jurassic Park is the only truly good movie in the series
That the very next time you see a paleo-documentary come out, don't publicly post your edits of other peoples' work to your own perceived level of accuracy. If you REALLY must make a point, re-make the thing yourself. Put in the work. Don't just edit snap-shots.
Interaction bait: what are your hottest Paleo takes?
I don't know how to explain this in a way you'll understand or care about but you can't be a fan of someone while completely stealing and devaluing their work like this.
tremendous alpha right now in sending your wife photos of yall converted to studio ghibli anime
This was such a fascinating process. We’d get the animation and camerawork approved in CG and then translate that shot design into something that worked on the motion control stage (camera limited to being on a rail and static ship on a gimbal). The results are so great!
Did you know that ILM built motion-controlled miniatures for #SkeletonCrew? One of the miniatures—complete with servo-operated engines and working lights—was the Onyx Cinder, built by John Goodson and Supervised by John Knoll and our ILM Miniature Unit. Not only was it used for…
This is not a model. Or taxidermy. This is a "fossilised" Wolly Rhino, discovered in Starunia mine in Carpathian Poland (now Ukraine) in 1929. Dating to the Pleistocene, its exquisite preservation is owed to a mixture of brine, oil and clays. And held on display in Krakow.
I got to animate the first shot in this clip and he was really fun to play with! This guy was another super heavy asset, so it could have been very slow to work with, but our amazing rigging team set it up so that the central tube and 5 “arms” could each be toggled between 1/2
The Driller Bot from #Transformers Dark of the Moon was the most complex asset ILM had done for Transformers by that point. It had 70,000 individual parts, over 7x more than Optimus Prime. This sequence where it is crushing the skyscraper took 288 hours per frame to render with…
Not going to lie, I am still frustrated there's an amazing piece of palaeoart, one of the first models of a feathered dinosaur, headlining a national institution, from the 1990s, made by a woman. But it's usually completely ignored in the history of palaeoart.
I got to animate these guys in the prequels - landing, walking, taking off, and flying/fighting and I had this picture up on my monitor the whole time as reference. Like so many of Doug’s drawings, it’s full of story and ideas. Doug is an inspiration machine!
October 7, 1997: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace: Doug Chiang’s starfighter design: “George wanted a droid precursor to the TIE fighters. I found this great reference of pterodactyls and wondered, ‘How about if the wings unfolded, and they can actually land and walk?”
