How scientists helped recreate the movement of prehistoric giants
In short: This video explores the meticulous process behind the 1999 series Walking with Dinosaurs, showing how researchers used live animal observations to inform the movement of digital and animatronic creatures.
The crew blended expert guesswork with advanced animatronics and computer-generated imagery to produce the most precise depiction of ancient creatures ever filmed. A key part of this process involved scientists spending hours observing live animals to understand how a dinosaur might have carried its weight.
