#velociraptor puppet

@kimmyclink:

Series of unfortunate events aside, that Jeep is adorable!

Thanks! It's a '93 Wrangler Sahara, which is the same model used in the original Jurassic Park, hence the license plate and decor:

It's extremely well-loved (read: beat up and slightly broken), since it spent a couple of decades as a utility vehicle on my aunt and uncle's ranch. I bought it from my aunt when she was no longer able to drive, and when Laura acquired her velociraptor puppet, it began a second career as Cupcake the Dinosaur's parade transportation:

For parades, we pull out the back seat, and Cupcake's puppeteer (usually my brother-in-law) gets strapped down to the seat brackets so he doesn't fall out.

Those first guys are so velociraptor shaped.

Favorite bird genre has got to be 'that's literally just a dinosaur'

look at them. look at the structure of those wings feet neck feathers toes tail looooooook it's gorgeous

I'm a visual learner and I've been working out how pterosaur wings do🤷🏼 and this is my process.

I want this next Pterosaur model to be poseable, similar to the velociraptor model. I knew that the wings would be the first hurdle to overcome. I needed to work out how I wanted the wings to move, what joints or hinges will copy those movements and lastly can it be 3d printed?

I found an artist on Instagram Sarahvigarsart who makes wooden bird puppets. She used an interesting technique with folding her wings and uses a ball socket in the shoulders, optimizing good up and down wing movements.

I like the concept of sliding and folding the wings in a similar way. I made a quick cardboard cut out to help me better visualize how the slide technique might work. This also helps me see how a 3d printer could print this.

Well I hope these ramblings were useful 😊🤔

Found some old pics of me trying airbrushing and feather-like pattern cutting on the faux fur of my velociraptor puppet for the first time. Turned out quite good, I'd say

EXTREME props to D'Onofrio for his performance in this scene, but this would have been LEGENDARY if Universal had realized what they were working with and made an actual animatonic/puppet Velociraptor for this moment.

All they needed were two, really: a Blue puppet for some of her Hero moments, and Delta for her Hero moment right here. This is the moment where a raptor is scary and close, right up front with the audience, in the same room as our cast...seeing this in full would have ruled.

But, also, I'm sure it's not just money. You would have had to have puppeteers and crafstmen with the years of professional experience and stability required to make something on Stan's level, and for that, you kind of have to go back and rework the whole Hollywood model for the past two decades.

So...I'm happy with the Raptor Hats.

Continuing on our Jurassic Park adventure: Jurassic Park III.

I actually kinda like JP3, compared to the JW sequels, we could be doing a lot worse in dinosaur movies. We’ll get to those another day.

The TRex shaky footstep thing over the opening title and production company/studio logo is a nice touch

Interesting decision to send the kid to the island ahead of all the adults. That is a ballsy change for the series.

This guy is a terrible friend to this kid’s parents. Nobody’s supposed to go near these islands. All five of them. Only two of which have ever been shown, for reasons that no director in four additional films has bothered to explain!

I love how Alan is attempting to scientifically explain dinosaurs to a toddler.

I also call Dr Grant the Dinosaur Man, but for different reasons

Ellie’s husband being an a member of the State Dept who works on treaty law definitely comes in handy when dealing with dinosaurs on Costa Rican islands created secretly by a British/American scientific enterprise who almost certainly lied about what they were doing there

It would be great if the kid from the first film at the dig site was one of the college students asking questions here. “They still look like big turkeys, Dr Grant.” Alan’s just like “hahaha, I have five two islands I want to personally drop you off at.

“No force on earth or heaven could get me on that island.” What about hell? Let’s see what those guys are up to.

Michael Jeter! You are missed, sir. RIP.

This girl showed up to a dig with a full face of makeup. You are not here for dinosaurs, ma’am, or you wouldn’t need Billy to show you the basic tools.

The first 3D printer! And Billy’s using it to trigger Grant’s ptsd flashbacks with the raptor vocals. Awesome 😂

Billy hasn’t even completed his degree, and he’s calling the shots? Don’t go to dinner with strangers, we learned that with Hammond.

The whole issue in the Jurassic films boils down to people who have too much money (or pretend to.)

Billy also has a lucky backpack. I feel like his part was intended for Julianne Moore and she didn’t want to come back. He pulls a lot of the same stupid moves as her, like his stealing raptor eggs.

“Alan!” I still think the talking dino dream is funny 😆

The biggest threat on the island attacks them immediately. Dinosaur Man has all the luck.

I mean, the plane is completely destroyed and the Spinosaurus has already eaten somebody and we’re 25 minutes in. This is bizarre.

This TRex looks more like a puppet somehow.

This Rex is not the baby or adult male from Lost World. So again, there’s lots of Rexes on this island. We will only see this one, somehow.

They didn’t even do enough research to get the right guide. God, they’re terrible at everything. They needed Ian Malcolm, or Sarah Harding, even Malcolm’s daughter Kelly would’ve been a better choice

Yes. Spinosaurus wasn’t on InGen’s list. What’s on the other 3 islands????

Udensky is a travel agent 😂😂😂

They don’t even care that their friend is dead.

Photographing the nest, sure, not stealing eggs, or raising my own pet raptors…

Why would Mr Kirby think the vending machines would still work?? Or that his first move should be to pay money for anything in them?

Nice of this one raptor to pose for dramatic effect behind that tank. You don’t see that a lot in dinos these days. It’s all get in, get out, shred that guy, eat her. Nobody plays with their food anymore.

I think it’s interesting how every time we see velociraptors in these films up to Jurassic World, they’re different every time. Not just the little feathers in this movie, but they change colors. The first movie they’re dark gray and red, lost world they’re light brown, this one, there’s a lot of green in there, and they’re the first ones with stripes in the franchise. Jurassic World, they’re gray with a blue stripe. They’re not evolving that fast, right? Are there multiple raptor groups on Isla Sorna?

This kid’s a genius. How did he get T-Rex pee? You know what, nevermind. I don’t wanna know. I assume it’s awful.

“Your parents lied kidnapped invited me along” 😂 Think Grant will be pressing charges later?

I just realized this kid is eating a lot of chocolate bars and has gone 8 weeks without brushing his teeth. His dentist is going to be busy. Not bathing much either, and he’s been collecting T-Rex pee. I bet he smells sooo baaad

Which one of the Kirbys had the idea to just come to the island to find their kid? Who talked who into chartering a plane and kidnapping their guide for dinosaur island?

Joyful reunion! Where’s the phone? 👀

🤣🤣🤣 the ringing dinosaur gag is so stupid but so funny

Y’all thought wood and rope would stop the Spinosaurus?

It would be a lot less suspicious if you didn’t ask for the bag 4 times in a row, Billy. Might’ve gotten away with it if it wasn’t for meddling Dr Grant.

What are the best intentions for stealing raptor eggs Billy? What are they? Hammond wanted pet dinos too. Did you think you were gonna start your own zoo, just two raptors and a dream, Billy? Sell them and fund your research to dig up dead versions of the same dinos? Scientific experiments on the baby raptors? Always thinking two steps behind, Billy. Welcome to InGen 2.0. I sincerely hope at some point in the future, we find out he was like, Peter Ludlow’s illegitimate son or something.

That’s a remarkably large pteranodon

And Billy has now jumped off the ledge of the incredibly large aviary. Grant still has the eggs.

Has anybody ever checked Billy for a head injury or symptoms of being a sociopath? I’m concerned.

Mrs Kirby didn’t lock that door, these bastards are getting out. I wonder what they’ve been eating if they haven’t been getting out before now? Each other?

Most of the closeups of Dr Grant are just him giving the same shocked face over and over. Same. I am also surprised at the decisions being made by the group.

Mr Kirby wants to send up smoke signals, like the old days. I think he should do it. What difference could it possibly make?

Dr Grant just called himself a dinosaur astronomer. Which means Billy is a dinosaur…cowboy? The weird metaphor is like “dinosaur astronaut” but it stopped making sense the second he changed professions. Grant is a dinosaur watcher. Billy is a dinosaur do-er! Yes, Billy does the dinosaurs and Grant likes to watch - Nope. This metaphor is getting worse every second. Let’s move on.

There’s that incredibly ominous phone ringing again

“We’ve been trying to reach you about your plane’s extended warranty. Also, would you be interested in a time share in a siberian gulag?”

Can’t keep a good spinosaurus down, although not being attacked by the carnotaurus was a twist. It just wanted to sniff poop. There’s a lot of joke material there, but we are above that. We are above it, and upwind of it, and it leaves a bad taste in our mouths.

Why would the Spinosaurus continue hunting them? There’s nothing at stake for it. Should its tiny reptile brain be able to function so as to stalk 5 people in spite of bigger and better prey like a determined serial killer? The raptors had their eggs stolen, what did they do to offend the Spinosaurus?

American Military (legally?) landing on foreign soil with no idea what they’re up against. Sounds familiar.

Billy rescued your hat! You can’t fire him now! (But you should, you absolutely need to fire him. I can’t stress that enough)

I wonder how many dinosaurs got loose from that mansion in Fallen Kindgom (like the exact number) and how many might’ve made it as far as Enid Oklahoma? I wonder if Mrs Kirby ever looked out the window one day and had a wild ptsd flashback

feathered Blue

I got this hand puppet of Blue the Velociraptor and turned into a plush but something was missing. Feathers. So I added some and looks much better :) I added some on her arms , chest fluff, a lil tuff on her head and tail tip. And I also added a third foot claw since those where missing.

[gemwolfz]

truly terrible "velociraptor" puppet at the center for puppetry arts gift shop. They glued fur on an alligator

[liyazaki]

sometimes I forget I work in a touristy area- then I’m reading through resumes & an applicant has extensive experience with “full-body velociraptor puppet costumes.”

Participant #2, Arnold Stevens

Arnold Stevens is the Ultimate Puppeteer, in his mid 20s. He wears a turtleneck and his main article of clothing is...well, his puppet. Dino Drake is a green hand puppet, who insists is a T-Rex, but is canonically is a velociraptor.

Both of them are part of the cast of a popular children's TV show, Unny's Playhouse. By the title, it's known that Dino Drake is NOT the main character of the show, instead, he is a supporting character, like Zoey to Elmo. He's gained his talent by word of mouth, being known as the nicest person in the show's cast, even being asked to participate in multiple other shows, though always bringing the Dino Drake puppet with him, in fact, when speaking, Arnold himself almost never speaks outside of the occasional hum or hello, instead speaking as Dino Drake and puppeteering the dinosaur along.

Overall, Arnold is a kind soul who's learned to overcome part of his shyness from his childhood. He signed up for the True Colors Reality Show after knowing children (Leo and Martin) would be in the cast, so, he signed up as a way to keep the two calm, and make sure to be there for them to feel safe.

...All he wants is for the children to be safe...

[elekid]

saw a post of a velociraptor costume/puppet set to look as realistic as possible and yet the irony of the costume being not accurate to how a real raptor woulda looked at all....idk theres something poetic there about dressing up faithfully as a creature that never existed at all like that. paying homage to the fiction

[amphibifish]

i tried to send the velociraptor puppet gifs to my siblings and then imessage crashed and i think that's a sign i should go bed now so goodnight tumblr and i shall talk to u all and c u all tmrw !!!!! m
