Why do Dinosaur Movies MATTER?

Dinosaurs are everywhere. In our movies, shows, video games… if it’s a space for entertainment, it’s a space for dinos. But does any of it matter? Aren’t dinosaurs just big monsters used in film to be scary and nothing more? Quite the opposite. Dinosaurs have resulted in some of the LARGEST advancements in entertainment technology. By extension, they’ve driven CGI and VFX into new ages and reshaped multiple creative industries for the better. And it’s because of this that we have so many cool CGI-heavy movies today. The Avengers, Spider-Verse, even Sharknado were all affected by the inventions brought about through dinosaur media. Explore with us as we dissect the ways dinosaurs have changed our world for the better. Not through science, but through ART. And as always, Keep your pencils sharp! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPPORT UPCOMING DINOSAUR MEDIA (listed in order of video appearance) TALON Donate: https://ko-fi.com/lunardragonent Project Updates: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_act...
