Digital Characters in the Real World

To enrich the narrative of Jurassic World Dominion, Chronicle Media provided Universal Pictures with 20 'found footage' sighting videos and images of dinosaurs invading modern cities and human settlements.

Stages of Creation

Creating our engaging 'found footage' videos, which featured dinosaurs in human environments, was a complex process guided by five crucial steps.

Concept art

Raw footage captured

Modeling AND texturing

Animation and environment mapping

Final render with sound mix

FULLY DIGITAL ENVIRONMENTS

At Chronicle Media, we harness the power of real-world textures to breathe life into our fully digital environments. This technique allows us to meticulously craft photorealistic settings, giving us unparalleled control over scene framing.

Every vision you can conceive can be vividly brought to life.

Details are key

To authentically capture the intensity of these dinosaur encounters, our focus extended to adding digital disruptions within the environments.

Elements like a breached fence, scattered debris, or moist footprints around a pool were incorporated, suggesting the dinosaur has just been for a swim. These touches are what breathe life into our creations, ensuring a compelling level of realism.

CAPTURING DECADES GONE BY

By implementing precise filters, we accurately emulated the characteristic VHS aesthetic, seamlessly transporting viewers back in time to recreate the nostalgic feel of late 1990s and early 2000s home videos.

Example 2: PTERANODONS

DINO-SIZED INFLUENCERS

Fueled by the exceptional reception of our videos for Dinotracker, Universal Pictures enlisted Chronicle Media to collaborate with several renowned influencers. The goal was to craft social clips where these personalities would interact with dinosaurs in the wild

Our Chronicle Media team further bolstered this campaign via social media, sharing supplemental content to make this Jurassic era's intersection with our contemporary world feel absolutely real.
