OK, maybe not. The Jurassic Park Franchise is still kicking out movies and there are all those old classic dino movies. SyFy did a year or two of B CGI-laden dinosaur flicks and indies pump out coat tail riders and mockbusters every time a "Jurassic" movie hits theatres.
So, I guess what I mean is, MY world needs more dinosaurs. I just finished shooting the season 2 Finale of "The Simplest Things" (Season 1 is Already available on Amazon Prime) and went back and released the Season Premiere, shot six years ago, onto YouTube. I had never loaded the full movie up there. It features, as you may have guessed, a dinosaur. Not one of your fancy CG dinos, but a stop motion, shot with a digital still camera, plastic toy dinosaur. And you know what? I love it. It's cheesy, but so much fun. It made me feel like a kid again, when the dinosaurs I saw on TV rainy afternoons were a lot like the ones I played with.
So, in Season 3, I'm bringing back the dinosaurs. When I make my holiday movie, I may find a way to get a dinosaur in there. ( "The Dinosaur that Almost ate Christmas" is my first holiday movie to accomplish that.)
If I send astronauts into deep space, maybe they'll encounter dinosaurs. Who knows? The possibilities are endless when you embrace the power of a green screen and the time consuming process of stop motion animation.
So, keep an eye on our YouTube channel and look for our name, Hocus Focus Productions, on Amazon if you want to see upcoming dinosaurs and maybe a giant spider or two.
