In depth
The T. rex in Jurassic Park was the star of visual effects that were revolutionary for their time. On set, the filmmakers used Stan Winston's full-scale animatronic T. rex (about 6 metres tall, 12 metres long and around 4 tonnes), while in wider shots the CGI version made by the computer graphics team at Industrial Light & Magic appeared. The film won the Oscar for best visual effects at the 1994 Academy Awards and hugely increased public interest in dinosaur research.
