when life gives you dinosaurs, make googly eyes

alt text

close up on a dinosaur head and neck with one white person on screen left side wearing white, with red hair holding their hand up, and I think Chris Pratt behind the dinosaur, holding its head as the dinosaur lays its head down on the grass and exhales.

the dinosaur's eye has been replaced with an animated googly eye that spins as the dino's head hits the ground.

years ago I worked on JW, and was working on this shot, so I had a really good matchmove of the eye. I created and animated a googly eye, stuck it on the dino, and put it in dailies as a joke comp.

anyway, someone reminded me of that, and while I don't have the joke comp, as personal images don't leave ILM's computer system, I did have a blu-ray Jurassic World, a non-commercial copy of nuke, and some free time this evening to recreate it from scratch.

I had a history of joke comps at ILM, like when I put a giant tin toy in to the middle of the fight between transformers in the forest in Transformers 2, or when I removed the refraction AOV from all the creatures in the saloon in Rango for a shot, making them look like zombies because it turned their eyes shiny black.

Assuming ILM keeps these, they must have a couple hours worth of these things from you and everybody else. It would be very cool of them to have an official blue-ray for-the-fans type compilation.

Thank you for sharing the results of your free time and recreating this. It out a little smile on my face this morning!
