Thomas R. Dickens animating the Allosaurus on the
17' landscape miniature (the Stegosaurus stop motion
puppet can be seen on the left). The miniature set
was built in long "layers" similar to the "Star Wars"
Hoth stop motion sets, allowing the animator to achieve
"forced perspective", and move in between the layers
of the set. Due to budget and time constraints, 3 stop
motion shots per day had to be achieved to stay on the
extremely tight shooting schedule.
