Although it's obvious that Planet Dinosaur does not have the budget of many of today's CGI's productions - the art and cinematography behind it is something very interesting! Earlier on in my blog I spoke of Rango and how it applied cinematography techniques to the animation process to create a blend between the two - I find that Planet Dinosaur is trying to do the same. Camera angles and scenes are set up to look dramatic, but also as though they have been filmed - like a modern day documentary. This emulating of the documentary film format - but in an entirely constructed 3D environment and scenario is an intriguing use of the techniques I spoke about earlier.
Even though I know the basic process behind the creation of productions like Planet Dinosaur, it's always nice to hear a little bit of input from the artist's themselves. Here's a couple of links to interesting videos on behind the scenes.
