TV

I have been looking at a few dinosaur related TV shows unfortunately most of them were mind numbingly boring Primeval being one of them.

PRIMEVAL

The show is what I like to call ITV’s answer to Dr.Who. I’m not going to explain the story or characters in any detail what so ever (because it sucks), but what i did like about Primeval was the CG creatures which were modeled, textured and animated quite well, I mean they weren’t as good as I.L.M or companys like that but I feel that that they were worth having a look at because anything can trigger a good idea of inspiration no matter how bad the series is as a whole… I watched both seasons….. BOTH seasons…… meh.

Below is trailer for season 3 and a few images of the creatures from the 1st two seasons.

DINOTOPIA

Another TV show I looked at which is based on James Gurneys books. The CG is quite old now but some of the are animated and designed well, the idea is similar in the way that people like and work with dinosaurs but thats were the similarities end because I want my idea to be a bit more gritty and in Dinotopia the people only seem to hang out the the herbivores and in my idea all dinosaurs will work with people.

Below is a trailer and a few images from the show.

TUROK SON OF STONE

This TV animated film was by far the best show I watched out of the lot, based on an old comic book series of the same name, TSOS is nicely animated and is aimed at 14 – 16 year olds and can get quite bloody at times. initially I thought it was going to be a Disney-esc film but was pleasantly surprised which how the story unfolded.

Again I have a trailer and a few images of Turok Son of Stone. Enjoy.
