Jurassic World: Building the Apatosaurus
I absolutely love this clip!
animatronic builds and effects really give me 'goosebumps' and i connect with them more than anything because this is the reason i've chosen this career path. I cant express enough how much i love the building and 3D aspect of animation because you can actually interact and connect with the build which i believe helps toward making it more believable and lifelike, which is obviously key to a successful animation.
I also love how they went back to the old-school methods of creating the skin with old fashioned foam rubber and using a cable system for the mechanics instead of hydraulics. It just proves my point that we will always need materialistic (sculpted, painted, moulded etc) animation in our motion pictures because it makes everything feel 'real'.
The most important reason i feel for the use of effects builds is that the actors/actresses are able to touch, see and even hear the animated subject which helps them to fall deeper into their character and really make a connection to the scene. Even though they can still pull off the scenes with a chroma-keyed mould, there's always that sense of realism with an actual animatronic build.
Also for me i cant imagine a prouder and more exciting moment than having a moving, life like prop in front of you that you (and maybe your team) have spent countless hours making. Theres simply no better feeling than your build being successful and not only that but to have it feature in a film saga such as Jurassic Park would be insane!
My goal would to definitely be involved in this line of work because its 100% my passion, and who doesn't want to work doing something they love?
