  • Thank you. Basically anything requiring a digital intermediate rather than a full optical pipeline.

    It’s also been widely recognized that the t-Rex specifically was physical unless it moved. It’s one of the more predictable props and it’s reinforced by the open matte version you mention.

    Don’t know why that’s the dudes point of argument.

    I think you’re wrong.

    Unless the t-rex was running it was a giant physical model. Likely in this shot zero to little cg was used. Hell I have the open matte version of the film where only digital shots are cropped, this one ain’t.

    Additional counterpoint: granddad worked on Apollo and if it was all fake, lots of real world shit I’ve personally experienced wouldn’t make sense. Production and Design awards, call backs during Apollo 13, the secrecy etc…
