Late to the party, but as usual...
BREAKDOWN THREAD: #SurvivingEarth 2nd TRAILER!
(Note: this thread will only feature shots not previously seen in Trailer 1)
(1/?)
For those who haven't seen the trailer yet, go here: (2/?)
SHOT FROM E01: Closeup shot of the foot of (presumably) Inostrancevia... (3/?)
SHOT FROM E05: unspecified varanopid standing on the head of Dimetrodon...
The final lighting makes this shot even more beautiful than it was in the BTS video! (4/?)
SHOT FROM E03: ROARING NANUQSAURUS! (5/?)
SHOT FROM E02: a herd of Lessemsaurus. (6/?)
SHOT FROM E06: MORE FOOTAGE OF ENDOCERAS MATING RITUAL! (7/?)
SHOT FROM E07: OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE GLYPTOTHERIUM! (8/?)
SHOT FROM E07: CLOSEUP SHOT OF SMILODON GRACILIS IN THE DAYLIGHT.
Look all those little details on its face! (9/?)
SHOT FROM E02: Another look at the baby Ischigualastia. (10/?)
SHOT FROM E07: the huge hand of Eremotherium! PhP Ice Age vibes! (11/?)
SHOT FROM E07: Cuvieronius crossing through mountainous terrain. (12/?)
SHOT FROM E07: Falcontoxodon fleeing...from GIANT PHORUSRHACIDS! (13/?)
SEGMENT FROM E01: Elph tried to play dead and avoid a baby Inostrancevia, but eventually got back up at the wrong moment...(14/?)
SHOT FROM E03: Finished footage of the Edmontosaurus stampede. (15/?)
SHOTS FROM E04: Brachauchenius diving into deeper water. That shot of the eye really conveys the sheer size of these predators...(16/?)
SHOT FROM E01: Inostrancevia fighting in an apocalyptic world...(17/?)

Dendromaia trying to get its family out of the fire...(18/?)

SHOT FROM E08: Arctodus family. (20/?)
SHOTS FROM E04:
The trailer ends with another few shots of the baby Spinosaurus. We now see that the eggs of the Spinosaurus are blue with black dots, and we also see the adult Spinosaurus close-up...This design features speculative horn-like structures...
THE END.

AFTER ALMOST FOUR YEARS OF WAITING...#SurvivingEarth HAS FINALLY COME!
Created by Impossible Pictures and TIM HAINES, i.e., the masters behind the Walking With series, will SE be yet another glorious success? MOST LIKELY YES!
TRAILER BREAKDOWN...BEGINS NOW! (1/?)
Our first shot is a tree being struck by lightning. This is a scene that may remind you of the Dimetrodon segment in Walking with Monsters, and as you'll see later, this indeed is most likely from a Permian sequence...Though probably not the one Dimetrodon will appear in. (2/?)
Carboniferous forests burning...
This forest is a mixture of photoreal VFX and live action elements from a PRACTICAL FX FOREST the team built for the series! (3/?)
#LifeOnOurPlanet #TheDinosaurs
I CANNOT WAIT. LET'S BEGIN IMMEDIATELY!
BREAKDOWN OF THE FIRST TRAILER OF 'THE DINOSAURS'--a thread! (1/?)
We start with a scene taking place (presumably) off the coast of Africa: a shark being snatched from the ocean by a Spinosaurus! (2/?)
Note that the Spinosaurus does not have the M-shaped sail present in reconstructions made by Dr. Nizar Ibrahim, and instead resembles the skeletal made by Dr. Scott Hartman. It's also more 'Heron' than WWD2025's Sobek. (3/?)
#WWD2025
After some thought, I realised that, in my moment of gladness at seeing a docu that (reportedly and from what I saw) strongly adheres to consultants' views, I have made perhaps my biggest blunder yet. An APOLOGY thread and some explanation:
When I posted this tweet, I was comparing the WWD2025 team's attitude towards consultants with the attitudes of some other teams...
Teams that, for instance, went for a completely-off quetz model even when their consultant explicitly showed how to reconstruct an azhdarchid.
Teams that, for instance, thought a scientifically-credible model looked like 'Foghorn Leghorn' and tried to make it 'scary'.
#WWD2025
It is...inevitable.
BREAKDOWN: FIFTH TRAILER. (1/?)
This is actually just an extension of the fourth trailer. Scenes already shown in earlier trailers won't be covered.
