Jurassic Park Velociraptors Redesigned With Feathers in Flawless Fan Edited Video

by

In 1993, the movie was launched and immediately garnered both commercial and critical acclaim, becoming one of the best dinosaur films ever made. It revolutionized how we visualize prehistoric creatures on screen, a feat yet to be matched by subsequent advancements in technology. However, it has been revealed over time that the dinosaurs depicted in John Hammond’s fictional park were not entirely scientifically accurate. That is, until now.

3D artist CoolioArt has shared an astonishing video, showcasing how two action-packed velociraptor sequences might have unfolded if these creatures were indeed feathered and more closely resembled birds, as modern paleontology suggests. The velociraptors portrayed in the original Jurassic Park are typically lizard-like representations of their fearsome nature. However, the difference between this depiction and the new understanding has been addressed by Michael Crichton’s narrative, where these dinosaurs were engineered using a fusion of dinosaur and frog DNA, designed to cater to the preferences of park visitors.

CoolioArt’s project is a meticulous re-imagining of key sequences from Steven Spielberg’s renowned film, Jurassic Park. Specifically, it focuses on the nerve-wracking kitchen confrontation and the legendary clash between the T-Rex and velociraptors amidst the debris of the visitor center. By utilizing Blender animation in conjunction with Adobe After Effects, the artist has brought a more authentic depiction of dinosaurs into these classic moments for everyone’s delight. Additional scenes are also planned for release.

Feathered Dinosaurs are Rare in ‘Jurassic Park’

The discussion about whether certain iconic dinosaurs like the T-Rex and velociraptors sported feathers or not has been ongoing for many years. Although Jurassic Park takes liberties with scientific accuracy in its depiction of dinosaurs, these images have become so embedded in popular culture that they’re unlikely to disappear anytime soon. However, swapping out velociraptors for Deinonychus antirrhopus, a feathered dinosaur from the dromaeosaurids family which includes velociraptors, would result in a completely different picture compared to the one that captivated audiences of all ages more than 30 years ago.

As a dedicated fan of the Jurassic Park series, I can’t help but marvel at how the dinosaurs from this franchise have etched their own legendary status. From the awe-inspiring T-Rex, affectionately known as “Rexy”, to the cunning velociraptors and the elusive dilphosaurus from the original movie, these creatures have left an indelible mark on us all. As much as I cherish these iconic designs, subsequent installments of the saga have subtly reimagined some of the newer dinosaurs to align more closely with their avian “real-life” counterparts, according to modern scientific findings.

The video presents an engaging “what if” situation, and the effort put into re-creating these scenes is clearly a passionate project. Although Spielberg’s movie is nearly flawless in all aspects, it now offers a chance for those who have long had questions about its accuracy to find their answers.

This year, the Jurassic Park series will continue with the release of “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” marking the seventh installment and fourth in the Jurassic World saga. Abandoning the characters from previous films, this new movie is helmed by Gareth Edwards, director of “Rogue One.” The star-studded cast includes Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey. In this adventure, the series is reportedly returning to its origins and hits theaters on July 2, 2025.
