When a group of Australian special effects artists were having trouble finding work, they decided to pool their resources together and create their own animatronics company. Most had planned to return to working on movies and television once they’d made a splash with their enormous, lifelike representations of dinosaurs and monsters. But Creature Technology wowed the world with their creations, leading to the bustling and almost magical workshop shown in the video below.
Questions:
- Why must Creature Technology keep some of their creations secret?
- In an entertainment world that largely depends on computer animation, will physical effects designers like the ones at Creature Technology be able to compete in the long term?
