I searched and couldn't find a thread on this amazing thing.
Prehistoric Beast
This is how the description described it: This stop motion short film, made in a garage in 1984, was the catalyst that launched the wild idea of creating an independent business whose sole purpose was to create animation for movies. And so began Tippett Studio. Phil sort of had an inkling that Dinosaurs might be once again popular as PB preceded a wave of popular interest in dinosaurs spurred on in 1990 with the publishing of Michael Crichton's book, Jurassic Park and the subsequent blockbuster movie by Steven Spielberg in 1993.
I felt that I had to share this honestly, it's mostly because I really think this is probably the best work of dinosaurs I've seen yet. I can't compare it to Jurassic Park because they are almost different in terms of story. I can compare it in terms of atmosphere though.
This was one of the more haunting shorts I've seen in animation, and the silence really helped to explore that. I would go as far to say is that this is how Disney's Dinosaur should have been (not really stop motion, but silent, which it was going to be once.)
I never thought I could feel so much dread watching any piece of animation before. The tension really builds as the chase slowly picks up its pace and finally reaching its climax upon the Triceratops finding that body. Man I just love this short so much!
So what did you guys think?
