I like the scene where the theme kicks in when they first see the dinosaurs. It's just a combination of awe and majesty and wonder. I know that actors act but again that was one of the first movies where they truly had to act against nothing. "Imagine you see this vista" and you could believe they saw it.

The part that gets me is when Grant says, “They’re moving in herds. They do move in herds.” You don’t see the joy of scientific discovery portrayed in film like that very often. You feel how much he truly loves what he’s devoted his life to, and you feel how profound and beautiful that moment is for him.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

So much of what makes the scene work is Williams' score. The acting is totally fine (I think Dern succeeds far more than Neill, personally) but it's that music. Just remarkable.bune wrote:I like the scene where the theme kicks in when they first see the dinosaurs. It's just a combination of awe and majesty and wonder.

I co-wrote and co-directed it with my best friend, who also played the lead. We shot in three locations we had free access to, used a camera we already had, and used friends as actors. Took like two or three days to film and another few days to edit. We never released it because we never got someone to compose a score we were satisfied with (kind of a big deal when it’s silent).

I’m not even sure it survived the migration to my new computer. Maybe I’ll try to dig up some stills or something later.
