Jurassic Park
Year: 1993
Cast:
Synopsis:
One of Spielbegs finest films.
Dinosaurs are brought back to life via genetic engineering of DNA and then escape, causing havoc on a theme park island
Points of Interest to Film Studies Students:
This was the first film to create organic Computer Generated (CG) lifeforms. Previous CG work such as Tron and Terminator 2 featured metalic objects rather than living creatures. The video "The Making of Jurassic Park" gives a real insight into how JP was made and how the CG animators had to learn new techniques in creating beleivable dinosaurs
Personal View:
This has to be my favouroite film of all time. The dinosaurs are fantastic, the first shot of a Brontosaurus takes your breath away
