DINOSAURS ALIVE!
In all Jurassic Park movies, dinosaurs are the real stars of the show. But dinosaurs haven't lived on our planet for the last 65 million years. So how do filmmakers bring them to life? They ask paleontologists- or fossil experts for help.
Paleontologist Tyler Lyson says the best way to learn about dinosaurs is to look at fossils. Fossils and footprints help scientists understand how dinosaurs looked, moved, and lived. Still, they do not know how dinosaurs hunted and what they ate.
Filmmakers use fossils and other research from paleontologists to build dinosaurs for their movies. But they have to use their
imaginations, too, because the animal's skin usually disappeared from the fossil. The dinosaur builders have to ask many questions about the dinosaur's appearance-for example, did it have feathers? A tail? Stripes?
To bring dinosaurs to life, dinosaur builders first make a robot model of the animal. Then they can make the model turn, move, and even roar! After that, the builders scan pictures of these robot dinosaurs and use computers to animate them.
All this work helps filmmakers create dinosaurs that are more realistic than ever.
