Dinosaur animation

December 4, 2008 10:44 by Melinda Iser

Tarbosaurus, one of the stars of the new Dinosaur Walk exhibition will ‘come to life’ with the aid of some clever animation.  Visitors will look through a viewer to see the skeleton transform into a moving animal in its environment. To create the animation, the exhibition team needed a photo of Tarbosaurus in position – but the skeleton was in pieces. Staff stayed at work late to assemble the dinosaur in the empty gallery. When Tarbosaurus was in exactly the right position they took the photos. Now the animators can do their magic.
