Generated interpretation, not documentary evidence. Invented dinosaur maquette with exposed model joints beside a dark monitor; a mixed-effects craft metaphor, not an actual Jurassic Park prop or accurate animal reconstruction.

Supplemental context
Jurassic Park is especially useful for comparing an image's appearance with the labor that creates it. Amblin explains that the production combined computer-generated dinosaurs with full-scale animatronic creations by Stan Winston's team. ILM's own account identifies digital tests and reports fewer than sixty fully computer-generated dinosaur shots. Thus the original description of dinosaurs made by computers captures only part of the process. Future viewers can study how physical effects, digital animation, acting, editing and sound combine to make invented creatures persuasive, while keeping the film separate from scientific evidence about extinct animals.
Creator/community: Steven Spielberg, director; Michael Crichton and David Koepp, screenwriters; ILM digital artists, Stan Winston's effects team and other production collaborators Place/era: United States, 1993 film adapted from Michael Crichton's 1990 novel; fictional dinosaur theme park
