But for the rest of the animal, it's weirdly inaccurate.

And I don't think the public would know...

And they might well care if it was much more accurate.

And I don't think it would be any harder to make it accurate than to make it inaccurate.

I've spoken to a colleague of mine who I won't name just in case I get him into trouble, who's a big dinosaur nerd, but also a big creature creator and designer and has done a whole bunch of proper Hollywood A-list movie stuff.

And I asked him about this and I went,

okay, but is it just easier to take the model that you've got and mess around with it than to, if I came in and said, you need to fix that, you need to fix this, you need to fix this, you need to fix that, and he basically went, no, it's about the same amount of effort.

It's not like

we don't have the director or the producer or the lead designer going, no, I want that arm a bit longer.

I want that tail a bit brighter.

Can you add a few more bits there?

I don't like those scales.

So he said, we're doing that constantly anyway.

So doing it to one set of design specs versus another set of design specs is no more hassle.

In other words, he said, it's no harder to make it accurate than to make it inaccurate.

And it's like, if that's truly the case, then just make it right.

And then you can claim a level of accuracy and engagement.

I mean, it's interesting.

There's a thing called the Jurassic Foundation.

After the first Jurassic Park made an absolute fortune, I think it was Spielberg directly, may have been through Universal, but anyway, they set up the Jurassic Foundation and it's a small fund of money for research on dinosaurs and related animals and academics can apply for it.
