Jurassic park 2: behind-the-scenes production of the lost world

1in the spring of 995, the cast behind the film began to gather. When Crayton finished the novel and Spielberg and screenwriter david koepp were working on a screenplay, producer Colin Wilson began to pay full attention to the visual effects technology to be applied in the film. Dennis muren, stan Winston and Michael Landry of Industrial Light Magic are eager to show their talents with new technologies. Rick hunter, the artistic director of 65438-0985 who collaborated with Spielberg, takes a single scene in the novel as the starting point. After fully understanding Spielberg's ideas, Carter led the art department to carry out the related work of plot series board, computer animation, chart and model in an all-round way, thus providing a blueprint for the filming of the whole film.

Invite experts

In order to enhance the credibility of the dinosaurs in the film, Spielberg once again invited Jack Horner, an archaeologist at the Rocky Mountain Museum, as a technical consultant for the film. As the most famous fossil collector in the world, Horner can infer the dinosaur's skeleton fossils, thus determining the dinosaur's shape and behavior habits. Spielberg and Winston fully applied the research results of this authoritative expert in the film.

Photography point

Before the crew finally selected the Sequoia Forest near Eureka, California, Carter, the artistic director, had traveled all over the Caribbean, Central America and New Zealand, hoping to find a lost place forgotten by time and human beings, and Sequoia Forest, which is 6 hours' drive from San Francisco, is an ideal choice. It is worth mentioning that the Sequoia Forest with a history of nearly 20 million years is located in the "Lost Beach" in California, which coincides with the title of the film. The unique and beautiful plant remains of dinosaurs are preserved in the forest.

Scene construction

1June, 1996, John Vilarino, the architectural coordinator, kicked off the scenery project in Universal Studios 12 Studio. The set of the whole movie will occupy the six largest studios in Universal Studios. Through the models and drawings of the art department, Vilarino and his 65,438+020 skilled craftsmen have to build 65,438+000 sets, and it is impossible to complete all the sets at the same time in a limited space. So Vilarino thought of a multi-purpose shed, that is, building several different sets in the same studio for the crew to take turns shooting.
