"...you bred raptors..."

Thank you Michael Crichton for writing such an amazing story made believe that modern science could actually concoct such prehistoric giants in our day. Spielberg caught the vision of its potential on the big screen and voila! Out produced the first film to ever incorporate CGI animation, along with an incredible cast, with one of the most moving plots about family and survival, an increased study of paleontology in colleges nationwide, more dinosaur books than ever before checked out from public libraries, and the never-ending use of movie quotes amongst friends and colleagues. What an example to look upon. Spielberg drove the production and the direction the story needed to come out spectacular. Something I have learned from him is to never settle for less. Phil Tippet was the one in charge of the visual effects of the dinosaurs. They were originally going to use stop-animation with life-like puppets replicating the animals. Phil worked hard to make the movements natural and swift without any glitches. He actually did work it to look real, but Spielberg was still not fully convinced that it would work. So he was frank with Phil and for a little bit, they went back to the drawing board. Someone caught wind of a developing software where you could do stop-motion through the software. So Phil went back to work and "BINGO DINO DNA" (not exactly in the right context) but with the push to better special effects you would think they really went back into time and stole them. Imagine the outcome if Spielberg just thought; "Well, we have a deadline with Universal so....let's just go with what we got." Yeah, it would probably be ranked next to its "wanna-be" Carnosaur.
