Planet Dinosaur
-
03-11-2010 10:42PM#1When "Walking with Dinosaurs" was first aired more than ten years ago, it set new standards in computer graphics, robotics and animatronics. The subsequent worldwide sales of this programme and the spin-off series netted the corporation vast sums of money. This new movie project, estimated to cost something in the order of £40 million will combine live action with new computer technology - LIDAR (light, detection and ranging).
The use of LIDAR is particularly appropriate, a case of art imitating life for a number of palaeontologists as a form of LIDAR technology has been used by scientists to detect fossils laying buried underneath sediment, helping field workers to decide where best to dig.
A spokesperson for the project stated that the use of 3D cameras will create: "never before seen levels of invisibility between live action and CGI worlds."
This news will please those clever people behind the "Walking with" live show, perhaps another world tour will be required.

edit: £D instead of 3D? A freudian typo perhaps? :pac:Tagged:- microraptor

Trailer:
Awesome image, and the trailer is great
Some of the dinos look just ok, but I'm excited anyways
By the way, seems that they couldn´t resist the temptation of including a Spinosaurus vs Carcharodontosaurus fight ala Jurassic Park III XD
That's cool tho; I wouldn´t resist either.0 -

Watched it too, downloaded it. It's awesome I too liked it better than the two first episodes of Dinosaur Revolution (the only ones I've seen so far). I love it that the episode portrays Spinosaurus as a normal animal and not an unstoppable juggernaut, but at the same time, it doesn´t take the badass out of it. I hope obnoxious dino-buffs stop implying that Spinosaurus was a wimp just because of its being largely a fish-eater.
The only complaint I have about the Spinosaurus is that it's tail seemed a little bit too short, as if truncated. Also, the Spinosaurus' CG quality was better than the other dinosaurs, as if, being the star, the budget had been dedicated mostly to it XD
It's a shame that we didn´t get to see Deltadromeus or Paralititan but oh well, you can´t have everything in this life 0 -
