JP III - Raptor Attack Rehearsal
We can’t think of a better way to help reintroduce our Stan Winston School of Character Arts YouTube channel than by using one of our favorite creations from Jurassic Park III.
When you think about the Raptors' movement, two main attributes come to mind—their swift running and their blink-like attacks. In a previous clip, we’ve shown you a Raptor running test. But at the end of the run… is the attack. This is the exclamation point at the end of their (death) sentence.
We’re excited to show you a glimpse into the rig testing for the Raptor’s final attack. As you know, it takes many people, and many takes, to get it right. Former Stan Winston Studio photographer, Chuck Zlotnick, knows this all too well, as he had to be “attacked” by a Raptor over and over again. It's not an easy feat because when that Raptor is bearing down on you, the brain seems to forget that there’s a rig at all. For that split second, that Raptor is alive.
Do we have your attention now?
Now, we could talk about Raptors all day long, but let’s get to the announcement – the reintroduction of the Stan Winston School of Character Arts YouTube Channel, www.youtube.com/StanWinstonSchool.
On this page, you’ll find previews of all the world-class monster-making training videos found on our site, as well as many behind-the-scenes clips of your favorite Stan Winston Studio creatures & creations. There’s already a nice selection of great footage, but here’s some additional cool news. We have a treasure trove of amazing archived material and can’t wait to share it with you. Our YouTube Channel will act as an easy, one-stop location to find it all.
Be sure and check it out… You never know what other surprises may show up!
