This CG animation was produced for the charity 'African Parks Network' and was Directed by Matthew Hoad-Robson.
My wife Linda did an amazing job in Photoshop with the ultra hi-res textures of the African continent. I built, animated and lit the entire piece myself using 3ds Max and Mental Ray with Vue 6 Infinite for the Wildebeest landscape shot. My good friend Mark Dodwell kindly rigged the model of the Wildebeest for me as a favor.
We think Dinosaurs are cool. So we decided to make one.

For the animation…
A paleontologist shows a tourist a paleontology site. The tourist is surprised by the site, and uses his camera to take a photo. The tourist photo of the site captures the lost world.

Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
