Phil Tippett's "Prehistoric Beast"

This stop motion short film, made in a garage in 1984, was the catalyst that launched the wild idea of creating an independent business whose sole purpose was to create animation for movies. And so began Tippett Studio. Phil sort of had an inkling that Dinosaurs might be once again popular as PB preceded a wave of popular interest in dinosaurs spurred on in 1990 with the publishing of Michael Crichton's book, Jurassic Park and the subsequent blockbuster movie by Steven Spielberg in 1993.

I love how '80s this is. The dark, moody lighting, the soft synthesized soundtrack, the dated dinosaur effects... if I were a kid I would've loved this.

I would love to see a full length film using this as its intro scene, continuing on from where this left off. This little 10 minute animation has everything I wanted to see in a dinosaur film as a kid, with none of the usual studio-mandated baggage that spoiled previous attempts at making such a feature (like The Land Before Time and Dinosaur, both of which I still enjoyed, or the Walking With Dinosaurs movie with its vastly superior Cretaceous Cut). Even as a kid, I craved a dinosaur movie with no humans, no voice-overs, and no documentary-style narration. Bonus points if it was from the point of view of a carnivore (T-rex in particular), and was at LEAST as tense, atmospheric, and explicitly gory as this. No more of this talking herbivore migration stuff we always get when someone tries to make a dinosaur movie - make it about a T-rex hatching, growing up, and eventually becoming the most terrifying killer for miles around, even usurping his territory from the previous generation's king. THAT'S what kids want.

I also love the roars at 4:26. Update August 2023: I'm happy to see this film get more views, it is now the second most viewed video of Phil Tippett's channel!

Jurassic Park 3. When Spinosaurus walks around the fuselage of the aircraft after it has crashed to the ground out of the tree is filmed from the perspective of Spinosaurus. Indominus rex in its enclosure before it breaks free is also from the eye level perspective of the Indominus. I'm sure there are other examples but those are the 2 I can think of off the top of my head.

I remember first seeing this woven into Dinosaur! with Christopher Reeve. It mesmerized me at age five and still remains my favorite documentary to this day, largely due to Phil Tippitt’s animation. O’Brien was the godfather of the art form. Harryhausen had a fluidity that was unmatched. But Tippett’s command of detail and lighting is astoundingly masterful.
