The fluff! Here Jay takes you behind the scenes of one of my favorite #WWD2025 critters, the Utah raptors!
The third article I wrote for Walking with Dinosaurs is out! This one is about Utahraptor and its gloriously fluffy appearance - and includes some of my colour concept artwork! bbc.co.uk/programmes/article…

God, this episode was just incredible! Despite what negative feelings people may have towards the new #WWD2025 I ask that you give this episode a chance. Equally heartfelt and compelling, with relevant scientific portions that actually enhance the speculative story!
There's very good model and texture work in the new Walking with Dinosaurs, and it shines the strongest when the dinosaurs are in open environments and rendered with longer lenses. I thought that these two shots in the third epsiode looked particularly impressive and convincing.

My opinion on #WWD2025 episode "River Dragon": THIS EPISODE IS A MASTERPIECE! Nearly everything was great, I loved both the Spinosaurus & Carcharodontosaurus, many scenes were genuinely fresh & interesting, scientific parts were informative & biodiversity was much greater! 9/10

Ep2 was so much better, it's not even funny. The format actually works now; both the prehistoric and modern sequences have room to breathe, and the latter is actually informative. There's some surprises, including what became the MVP species of the episode We're So Beck (lol)🦖
I've seen #WWD2025 episode 1, and... ... it wasn't it 😭 I REALLY wanted to love it. And I'm staying true to what I said about judging it on its own merits. The editing is so bad; it constantly jumps around, and the modern day segments don't really add info of value

A nice taster of some of the sound design on #OurUniverse
Did you know that billions of years ago, as the Earth was forming, it had a twin planet the size of Mars? That is, until the two planets collided. And that's why, to this day, the Earth is tilted 23 degrees. Morgan Freeman narrates Our Universe, now on Netflix
