Tippett was brought in.ĭechant was doing rough models of the T-rex skeleton to block out pacing(it shows him working at a computer with a dinosaur onscreen, but it looks more like a Galimimus skeleton to me). Muren convinced him that some stop motion would be needed.
Spielberg had wanted to use robot dinosaurs only. I decided to look in the Making of Jurassic Park book for the rest. After they switched to cg, they realized that Tippet and his team were far more experienced in animating dinosaurs than the cg animators were at the time, so they developed the devices to let his stop motion team animate real objects and put that into the computer. If Dechant was using amigas, maybe Williams was using one for his off duty experiment? I dont know but it would make sense unless it says specifically that Williams did his first bones experiment using Alias/Softimage.īut as a separate issue, I dont see why Tippett would be using Dechant’s work for reference, when Tippett was the senior animator with the most experience. Then the decision to drop all stop motion and use cg entirely(with the animatronics). Wherever Williams was, he decided on his own, to make a skeleton of a T-rex and animate it. He even had put tongue flicks in the Velociraptor tests and Paleontologist Jack Horner told him to remove them. Tippett definitely did both animatics in stop motion and I think some go motion tests for the T-rex and Velociraptor sequences. So let’s say Dechant was working on animatics for that. The only cg sequence planned was the stampede. Only stop motion and lifesize animatronics. ** What I understand is that Tippett was in charge of the T-rex and Velociraptor stuff. This was intended to inform the Go-motion work at Phil Tippett studios. They take place in Quackertown (where Donald Duck is the Mayor), and they were aimed towards children in the early 90's.Stefan Dechant, working at Amblin, was doing CG animatics using Amigas. Like Mickey in his bumpers, Donald's face remains unseen. Starting in 1991, Donald Duck also had his own bumpers, which were animated by Robert Lyons. There were even some that were live-action, with a Mickey Mouse puppet driving, getting pictures made, sorting clothes for his closet, testing his teleportation machine, etc.

Since the channel's 1986 rebrand (by which time the network had gone from a 19-hours-a-day run to a full 24 hours a day), Disney Channel had bumpers that were animated by the now-defunct Colossal Pictures.
