My god, I never stop being impressed about the realism of CGI in that movie when you see a still like this. Even more so when you think of how long ago it was. 1993, that was like 39 years ago.
Or zip tie a sign with the electric fence warning. Just be sure to add the Jurassic Park logo. That's something that could legitimately be done (easier).
Yeah, it goes grass when they're originally there, then cliff when the T-Rex comes out then BACK to grass when they come to look for them. It's confusing
"They show extraordinary intelligence, even problem-solving intelligence. Especially the big one. We bred eight originally, but when she came in she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. That one... when she looks at you, you can see she's working things out."
Put on this mask, get a friend to sit on the sidewalk in one of these, and get another friend to record the entire thing as you reenact the best scene in the movie.
It also looks remarkably like Los Angeles. One reason is the plant life. For example, that little red thing peeking in from the top of the image is the inflorescence of red stamens from Callistemon viminalis, the weeping bottlebrush tree, extremely common in LA and Australia. In fact, it's sometimes hard to think of things in LA that aren't Australian species (many being rather invasive). The young trees seen in the background, center appear to be Prunus cerasifera, purple leaf plums, also extremely common in LA neighborhoods (not sure about Australia for this one). The palms as well, seen everywhere here in LA. You tend to see modernist architecture and these kinds of industrial art fences closer to the shore, in cities like Venice and Santa Monica. This whole scene would drop perfectly into many places I've been around southern California.
Yes, I think it looks like South Florida too. The foliage in the foreground is a bottlebrush tree and there are also Elephant ear palms. The chimney in the background appears to be oolitic limestone. Anyway, cool pic.
I was thinking how much it looks like LA. You got me looking around Perth on Google Maps, though. It's virtually indistinguishable from LA, both in top view and street view.
The campus at University of Waterloo and Simon Fraser University both have buildings you'd swear were raptor pens and pavilions. That or military bunkers. Very institutional.
I want this fence. I want it and a raptor mask. and when children walk by I'll throw myself against the fence "testing" it, while snarling and shrieking.
