Dinosaurs In Jurassic World

1965 Words8 Pages

A dinosaur, thrashing through the woods. A terrorizing cyborg, attempting to seal humanity’s fate. A friendly toy cowboy, coming to life. These are some of the unimaginable things that computer generated imagery (CGI) has brought to life in film. CGI is constructing still or animated visual content with picturing software (Rouse). It has many uses as well, and is a helpful tool in many fields. CGI is used for visuals, advertising, anatomical modeling, architecture, special effects in cinema, and video games (Rouse). CGI has played a significant role in film over the years. Before CGI, special effects in cinema were simple. In “Pre-War Hollywood” or before World War II, special effects included adding clouds to the sky, and ceilings to sets …show more content…

One large difference in Jurassic World is that the dinosaurs are mostly CGI, with barely any use of animatronics (Giardina). The difference can be seen by viewers, as the dinosaurs in Jurassic World move very realistically. The structure of the dinosaurs in Jurassic World are also incredibly realistic. The skin and muscles of the dinosaurs in Jurassic World are far more complex and technological than in Jurassic World (Giardina). The Jurassic World special effects team made the dinosaurs muscles fire and squeeze like a real-life animal would (Giardina). These simple-looking yet effective improvements made in Jurassic World are perfect examples on how CGI has improved over the years. The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were the most unbelievable and realistic creations in film history, and the 1990’s film was way before its time. But after many years pass, Jurassic World was able to improve the effects greatly through realistic movements and …show more content…

Only few nearly perfected the use of CGI, and were able to expand on that through its evolution. In one of his books concerning the evolution of CGI, writer Tom Sito wrote “The Gettyburgs of the CG revolution can be narrowed down to three movies— Terminator 2 (1991), Jurassic Park (1993), and Toy Story (1995)” (Sito 253). The Terminator franchise, Jurassic Park series, and the Toy Story films all were able to portray the evolution of CGI through each of their films. The first installment in the Terminator series used many animatronics to create ruthless cyborgs (Lambrechts). Later, the animatronics were not as sufficient, and CGI was used to duplicate the cyborgs, and improve their movements (Lambrechts). In Jurassic Park, animatronics and CGI looked so real that it was coined as “physically textured” (“How CGI Changed”). But still, in 2015, Jurassic Park moved away from animatronics and used CGI for mostly all effects (Giardina). Improvements to the dinosaurs’ muscle and skin were also made in the latest installment (Giardina). Lastly, Toy Story made history in 1995 being the first full length computer animated film (Kantilaftis). The detail in the first movie was well done, for what was technologically available. In 2010, Toy Story 3 was able to improve multiple aspects of the first movie, such as clothing (Robertson). Expression was also improved with more detail and eye mobility (Dunlop). CGI has

Directors create films to help present some of the issues and concerns that are relevant within their own societies. The 1993, world-renowned, Jurassic Park is a science-fiction/adventure film that focuses on an alternate reality where dinosaurs are able to walk the Earth, on an isolated island off the coast of Costa Rica. The man who created the Island, John Hammond, wants to capitalise on the experience, making the dinosaurs no more than an interactive feature in a unique theme park. All this is happening while a greedy employee steals dinosaur embryos with the intent of selling them to a rival company and shuts down all security systems, resulting in pre-historic chaos. A variety of filmic language has been used in Jurassic Park to represent how greed can lead to people acting out of desperation and how individuals in

It is sad that George Lucas changed the way films were made. Twice. Inspired by films such as Flash Gordon and the films of Akira Kurosawa, as well as Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces (Joseph Campbell, Panthelon Books, 1949) and Frank Herbert’s Dune (Frank Herbert, Chilton Books, 1965) books, George Lucas began work on Star Wars in 1974. He previously had success with his first feature sci-fi THX-1138 (George Lucas, US, 1971) and again with his urban gothic American Graffiti (George Lucas, US, 1973).

In Star Wars, CGI technology digitally created Jabba the Hut to replace a human actor. This same technology used in Forrest Gump, allows Forrest to meet John F. Kennedy, John Lennon, and participate in other unlikely events. For example, the feather at the beginning of the movie was created using CGI technology, because the likelihood and ability to create that motion with a real feather would be too hard. This scene was taken through the use of a long take that follows the feather until finally cutting to Forrest on the park bench. Another technique used in the film is morphing.

compare to Star Wars the Revenge of the Sith sins especially if you account for the sins in the other prequel movies that cause these sins. How do these animated effects change these movies? For RoboCop it was able to bring RoboCop and ED-209 to life but for Star Wars it was much more as characters, objects, creatures and most of the environment only exist through these special effects. What did it take to make this movie happen (both types)? For RoboCop it took a lot of testing to make this stuff seems realistic like the brutal shooting scene of Murphy getting shot took the use of a puppet and many prosthetics to make it look real.

First, when they make the new dinosaur they did not stop and think whether or not they could handle the dinosaur. They only cared about getting more money and attracting more people to the park. They wanted something bigger, scarier, and more monstrous. Just like Hammond did in Jurassic Park. Hammond

This availability of technology to masses today has allowed expression of creativity and has resulted in production of extensive range of movies and videos (S. Mark Young, February 2008).

The “Wow” Factor Digital cinematography has become the norm for most films that gain success in today’s movie industry driven by a society wanting bigger and better. The realistic facet becomes an afterthought against the creativity of the movie maker and viewer alike, and today there is an expectation that the viewer will be “wowed” beyond imagination. Special effects are meant to improve and entertainment is meant to thrill. This is apparent in the film “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” released in 2014 which is a remake and extension of the original piece from 1968. Several variations of the movie have been done through the decades, but this latest version increases the effects and takes the film beyond anything previously released.

CGI in the past 20 years have greatly improved and continues to improve every single day. Most movies anymore use CGI a lot since it gives it the wow factor and gets people’s attention. I think it’s silly to risk your talent and crew alike because if you injury an A-List celebrity, then there could be a big chance that the movie production company will get sued. If you were to injury a crew member or a talent, it can also lead to deadly consequences. Some examples would be with Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future III, the scene where he is hanging with the rope around his neck, he isn’t standing on anything and people didn’t realize that he was unconscious for about 30 seconds.

CGI stands for computer-generated imagery (special visual effects created using computer software). The Birds is about a woman named, ‘Melanie Daniels’ who gets these birds and gifts them to a man named, ‘Mitch Brenner’. One day at a party for Mitch Brenner’s sister, the birds start attacking everyone. A whole butterfly effect happens and one after another, all the birds in the area are attacking the civilians. According to the article, ‘How Alfred Hitchcock Brought The Birds' Titular Terrors To Life’, it states, “One of Alfred Hitchcock's most beloved films also happens to be one of the most technically challenging productions; in the days of early CGI, orchestrating a creature feature was a daunting task — but not too daunting for a filmmaker known for pioneering storytelling techniques.”
