"Our Weird Science season begins with a deep dive into Michael Crichton's two novels, adapted into Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lost World (1997). Also discussed; Crichton's awful world views, clever scriptwriting by David Koepp to adapt the sauropod-sized books, the birth of CGI in tandem with production, and which dinosaurs we are.

This is our biggest and densest episode to date, and yet it's one of two parts, as we will be discussing every sequel beyond The Lost World in a later episode... Frankly we got so preoccupied with whether or not we could that we didn't stop to think if we should."

In our upcoming Jurassic Park episode we discuss how rapid developments in CGI overtook the original concept of using gomotion, and the contributions of legendary animator Phil Tippett.

You can get an insight into how different JP might have looked without CGI in this gomotion mockup made by Tippett during preproduction.

Okay, so I found the full version with way more footage, and I decided to edit the movie's sounds into it. And for a little flavor I added some music as well...
