Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - Scientifically Accurate Baryonyx + VFX Breakdown

A fun what-if scenario, where the sequel to Jurassic World used the original website design for their Baryonyx instead of the one we got in the film. While I have many critiques toward the film, have no hard feelings towards Jurassic World or its Baryonyx, this was merely a fun experimental video for me. I made this because I love Jurassic Park/World, please do not misinterpret this as me hating on the original. The original VFX artists did a stellar job and I do not mean to demean their work in any way. I merely intend to educate on fact vs fiction in sci-fi media, in addition to showcasing how I create my VFX work.

Which Bary design do you prefer? Would you want them to redesign it for Jurassic World Dominion? Let me know in the comments!

For all people saying this looks like suchomimus: yeah, that’s just what baryonyx looked like. Sucho and bary irl did not look too different from each other. You are probably under the impression baryonyx had a wider head than suchomimus due to media like JWE- but the truth is Baryonyx’ head looked essentially the same as suchomimus but with a shorter snout. The body had some differences, but those aren’t extremely visible in this video due to the angle and lighting. In life it wouldn’t be super easy to tell the two apart from afar.

Source video is property of Universal Pictures. This video counts as fair use due to the transformative nature of heavy editing with an intent to critique and educate, in this case the scientific accuracy of a movie dinosaur design.
