Company / Institution / Agency:

Description:
The CG imaging for “The Lost World” far surpasses the benchmark set in “Jurassic Park,” further integrating CG dinosaurs into live-action environments. Five new dinosaur models were created, and the models from the first film were completely updated to permit naturalistic muscle and skin flexion, bone motion and breathing action.
