Jurassic World: Building the Apatosaurus - Legacy Effects

I saw this and thought it was interesting. Not sure where I should put it so I figured it could go here.
Enjoy!

So who's gonna build one? You know you want too!

Cool video. REALLY wish they had used more practical effects in JW.

that scene was really touching. i wonder how many man hours went into building it

I had the extreme pleasure of talking with Marilyn Chaney who worked on this dinosaur. She told me how much less time (and projects) they had for this film. She said for Jurassic Park, they had lots of time and money to use to create those amazing practical effects, but for JW, it was far, far less. Then we talked about iron man suits and other amazing projects she's worked on. Super great lady, and one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had.

Was Apatosaurus the only animatronic they did? The raptors they made looked like they were just static.

She said the only practical effect with raptors was a harness for one. She was, it seemed, bummed that they didn't do more.

She wasn't the only one.
