Description:


    Raptor vs. Raptor. Vince Carter, Toronto Raptor, vs. Velociraptor. Live-action human vs. computer-generated raptor. The challenge was to shoot the basketball player interacting with the creature. Carter was shot playing against a raptor stunt double who was then digitally removed and replaced with the completely CG raptor. Other challenges included water splashes and Gatorade flowing from the raptor’s mouth.
