True Films 3.0 - Kevin Kelly

Walking With Dinosaurs Collection
What if you could film dinosaurs on location, like in a nature documentary?
That’s what this four-hour BBC extravaganza does with advance digital
technology. The final footage in Walking with Dinosaurs is utterly convincing.
Home movies of Ornithocheirus. As far as science can presently tell,
this is what dinosaurs were like. These videos are better than any textbook:
scientifically sound, technically astounding. Even better is Walking with
Prehistoric Beasts. This sequel expands the variety of creatures brought
back to digital life. You get saber tooth tigers, giant sloths, and a two-ton
armadillo, among other extinct species – all with the same verisimilitude.
One continues to believe they were merely filmed. Walking with Allosaurus
features one species of dino in depth. The “making of” portion by the
zoologists is just as educational. We watch these films quite often. Worth
four hours of your time.
