Honestly why was the CGI in this from 1993 so realistic? the

Because you're a nostalgic idiot. They look good, but far from what we have today.

Cinema is over. Get over it. Nobody's concerned with making actual good shit anymore. It's neither necessary nor profitable anymore thanks to the dumbing down-lobby.

screen cap any movie of current years and visually prove me wrong dip shit

im not talking about CGI artistically, i mean realistically, shit that looks actually present

Also how am i nostolgic ? when i was born in 1998 and never saw this movie till 2012?

because most of the shots were done with creative angles, lighting, etc to ensure they could look better, and then theres the fact that none of them had hair or cloth or anything else, the fact that none of us knows how dinosaurs SHOULD move so when they move funny we don't even realize it, and the fact that most of the shots of dinosaurs in the film were large props, not cgi at all.

Because a lot of the shots were done at night, plus the CG was mixed with animatronics

That more pic looks like a rubber toy.

They had physical models to match. The rain and darkness also helps hide flaws.

The raptors in the kitchen were pretty bad.

But for the rest, the CGI was used relatively sparingly, environment was used to make it look better (darkness, rain, lighting) and they still used real models.

I think movies like Jurassic Park are proof that cgi applied lazily is unconvincing; it takes component filmmakers to make it real, pic unrelated

>>87430156
Because they knew their limitations. the bulk of the CGI T-Rex and raptor scenes take place in the dark, in shadow, in rain. The crudeness of early cgi could be hidden in these scenes. For instance artificially lighting the cgi models was hard to do for day time scenes, but for night time scenes where everything's dramatically lit from above by a large blue light, wet surfaces nearly completely white with blowouts, this was easier to render since that kind of lighting is purely cinematic to begin with - moonlight does not look like that in real life. Nor would there be much moonlight filtering through a tropical storm. It's all about "selling" the shot.

Lol wat. That T rex is bite for bite better than any piece of cg that's come out since except maybe the aliens in District 9
