: I think that they were able to make the dinos look real in the
: movie. They seem real. The actors and actresses help that too.
: they look like theya re really scared, like it is a life or
: death situation. Does anyone else think that too??I think they do a pretty good job, too. They actually use on-set props to help the actors react to the dinosaurs. The raptors, at least, are mocked up with styrofoam heads on sticks, I think (I'd have to go back and check and don't have time right now). I would guess that much like Star Wars did with Jar Jar Binks, they shoot the scenes twice, once with the mockups and once without so the actors can see where to look and move, and whomever paints the model images in (if that's the right terminology -- I guess not) has something to follow. Maybe if Michael Sinelnikoff is reading this weekend he'll volunteer a comment or two. :)
