Dr. Grant and dear Dr. Sattler, welcome in Jurassic Park
Isla Nublar is always worth a trip. At least if Dennis Nedry did not exactly open up to the machine because he could do something salty and only has chocolate with him. Because then Rexy and Co go on the game. Or alternative scenario: Dr. WU (please do not confuse with Doctor who, because he rides him on the Triceratops and does not breed) in his petri dish has been pushing something strange again: Indominus Rex, Indoraptor, Scorpios Rex, Spinoraptor etc. Viktor Frankenstein has at least after such an action His studies canceled and is back to Lake Geneva from Ingolstadt. But Dr. Henry Wu just can't leave it. The man knocks out one crude intersection after another. But somewhere we have to be grateful to him. He, John Hammond and Benjamin Lockwood have dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park brought back to life.
In truth, it was of course Michael Crichton, Steven Spielberg and a large team of first-class special effects artists who brought the dinosaurs back in 1993 after 65 million years. And when the Brachiosaurus appeared on the screen for the first time, not all of them like Dr. Granted in disbelief and stamled: "This is a dinosaurs!" Even then, a big focus was also on the merchandise Jurassic Park. Do not lack a certain irony that Dr. Ian Malcolm in the film: “You stick a label on a plastic can and you get it. They get them out and want to make a profit! "But we nerds and geeks are happy. Grinning broadly: "I haven't spared any costs!"
Particularly important as a merch: the figures. Many of us are still guarding their 1993 Velociraptor by connoisseur like their eyeball. That was good times before the dark days, in front of Hasbro. But now it is Jurassic Park License at Mattel and after over 20 years: the Brachiosaurus. Yes, childhood memories became awake. But otherwise Jurassic World-no matter what you might think of the sequel yourself-has changed a lot for film freaks, because the sequel trilogy has really started the entire Jurassic machine again, and not just in film & TV. Films & series are one and one and younger serial junkies in particular are enjoying the new adventures from Camp Cretaceous. But we got so much more. Not only T-shirts, caps and notebooks, but also the Jurassic World Evolution-Games, for example. A separate park with dinosaurs, a dream. Did you also test whether you can hold two T-Rexe in an enclosure? If not: no, you can't. They immediately go to the Gurgel.
Since we not only sell cups, posters and other accessories and decorations in our online shop, but also want to offer our customers added value for five facts Jurassic Park, who should only know die -hard fans:
- The most difficult effect of the film was not a dinosaurs, but the concentric waves in the water glass that announce the arrival of the T-Rex. Spielberg had observed this in a drink when he heard "Earth, Wind and Fire" in the car, and wanted her in the film. The Special EffectS team first suggested that something to fall into the glass that Spielberg rejected because you see the difference. Only the evening before the shoot did the saving idea came: Michael Lantieri clamped a little on his guitar that evening when the sparkling thought came to put a full glass on the guitar and pluck a string. There he had the concentric waves. So guitar strings were stretched under the dashboard and a crew member climbed underneath and plucked them.
- The noises of the dinosaurs come from real animals. For example, a dolphin and turtles mix for the cry of the Velociraptor. The T-Rex, which eats the Gallimimus, is actually Spielberg's dog who plays with a rope.
- Speaking of Gallimimus: The escape from the herd of Gallimus also caused Spielberg's special-effective team Arge problems, the director wanted to film the scene with the hand camera to make them look more dynamic. Computer animated moving animals and hand camera? Actually unthinkable with the technical possibilities of 1993. Until someone came up with the idea of painting a grid of white lines on the floor on which the computer could be oriented.
- The Velociraptor is about 2 m high in the film. The real Velociraptor Mongoliensis is only about half a meter high. The reason for this deviation is that the Deinonychus, on which Michael Crichton was oriented, was led by paleontologist Gregory S. Paul as a velociraptor antirropus because he assumed that the relationship between the two animals was even closer than the current state of research. Although this mistake was already known for the shoot, Spielberg decided to leave it at Velociraptor because the terrifying blade as Deinonychus. But that is only true until you translate both names into German: Velociraptor means something like "fast hunter", but Deinonychus, on the other hand, "deadly claw". Both had feathers, but this is a realization of recent times. In order not to incorporate continuous errors, the sequels were left with featherless Theropodes.
- That the optical perception of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was only based on movements, such as Dr. Grant explains in the film is extremely unlikely. On the contrary, researchers assume that the T-Rex had an exceptionally good sense of sight, which suggests the big eye sockets.
But now enough the flood of facts. We hope you will find it with us whether you are a fan yourself or gifts for one Jurassic Park-Fan search.
