Jurassic Park: The Secret Test That Changed Everything 🦖
In this segment of the documentary‑style video, the narrator reveals how veteran visual‑effects animator Steve Williams secretly created a fully 3‑dimensional animation of a walking T‑Rex skeleton, despite the production’s original plan to use stop‑motion. Williams, who had previously worked on The Abyss and Terminator 2, was instructed not to show the test, but he arranged a private demonstration for the producers. The producers were astonished and presented the animation to director Steven Spielberg, who was equally amazed and decided to gamble on using 3‑D computer graphics instead of stop‑motion for Jurassic Park. The segment then features producer Kathleen Kennedy reflecting on the moment as a groundbreaking turning point that “changed everything” for the industry.
