The rather fierce countenance of a Strawberry poison-dart frog, also referred to in English as a Blue jeans poison-dart frog (Oophaga pumilio), surveys the litter of the forest floor to determine its next move, Monteverde cloud forest, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica.
I have always wanted to see a poison-dart frog in the wild. As a child growing up amongst Oregon’s damp woods, I sometimes found Pacific tree frogs (Pseudacris regilla) and Northern alligator lizards (Elgaria coerulea) and brought them home to live with me for awhile in a terrarium in my room. I would catch flies for the frogs to eat, and I marveled at their bright green skin and the semi-translucent throat pouches of the males. When I read about poison-dart frogs and saw them in the local pet shop, their outlandish coloring seemed perfectly unreal. A creature that could only exist in some fantastical forest.
Tropical cloud forest is indeed that fantastical forest. Life is everywhere, much of it well-concealed up amongst the leaves and branches of the multi-layered canopy overhead. But not these frogs. They move purposefully about the forest floor looking for prey, and I learned that it is toxins produced by mites they consume that bioaccumulate and ward off any potential would-be predators. This type of bold coloring is referred to as aposematic coloration, and it is thought that the bright hues serve as an honest indicator of the frog’s toxicity and poor suitability when it comes to a tasty meal. The O. pumilio species is an interesting one in that it displays 15-30 different color morphs, a number of which are true-breeding according to Wikipedia.
Technical notes: Adobe’s Lightroom now has an AI-driven denoise feature that was transformational for this image. I shot this at ISO 14,400 due to the low light under the forest canopy, and because I wanted to maintain a small aperture to make sure I got the entire frog in focus. I am impressed that the result doesn’t look like an ISO anywhere near that high, at least to me.
Under the guise of environmentalism and conservation the powers that be want to tokenize everything, including nature. They want to “monitor, preserve, and enhance the natural world.” Just like they plan to enhance (control) humans through transhumanism, they plan to enhance (control) nature. They want to enslave both man and nature.
These elitists want to integrate blockchain technology into nature and market it as biodiversity conservation. They not only want to build the Internet of Bodies (people), but also the Internet of Forests (nature). They want everything to become part of the Internet of Things. They want to connect every living thing to artificial intelligence. This trans-human-ism and trans-nature-ism would commoditize every living thing. It would be the merging of man and machine; it would be the merging of nature and machine. It would be “a world where virtually everyone and everything is intelligently connected.” Dystopia anyone?
They are marketing this tokenization of nature as “an effort to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems and species.” Snake oil anyone? If they tokenize nature, they can use nature as a financial instrument. They can then sell green bonds and derivatives based on biodiversity data. This data would be gathered via sensors, drone fleets (“swarm intelligence drones”), and satellites. Thus all the species of the forest would be monitored and data mined. They want to build an “AI-driven neural network for our planet.” They want a global AI network that monitors everyone and everything in real-time.
This system will require datafication of biodiversity. This means that they will need to create digital representations of all species and all ecosystems on earth. They want to commoditize everything. “Almost every core function in financial services will be transformed.” It’s good for the planet and good for business…buhahaha!
The scam: Carbon Markets! “Carbon markets are critical in helping the world attain net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions.” Carbon markets revolve around the buying and selling of carbon credits. These credits allow the buyer to emit a certain amount of pollution. “Carbon justice for all!”
“Carbon markets can be a powerful tool to help advance carbon justice.” – United Nations
Carbon trading was first introduced as part of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol’s carbon trading system was a major step towards establishing a global market for carbon emissions. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted as the first addition to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Kyoto Protocol has since been replaced by the Paris Agreement.
The globalists have also been talking about “carbon emissions trading schemes under which emissions credits would be allocated to adult individuals.” To bring about a personal carbon market scheme, they must introduce digital IDs and central bank digital currencies. Then they can introduce a Chinese-style social credit score system. They will tie your “carbon footprint” to your social credit score. Therefore, you’ll own nothing, and you’ll happily eat your bugs. You won’t have enough money to buy a carbon credit to leave your 15-minute city neighbourhood prison. But then again, climate lockdowns! By the way: you may want to breathe less, because they will carbon tax your every breath.
The carbon market is being introduced through public-private partnerships, which adhere to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. A low-carbon economy: degrowth. Degrowth is synonymous with poverty and depopulation.
Eventually, they will install a world leader over their new world order. Each individual will have to take this leader’s Mark (blockchain technology) in order to participate in his new world economic order. No one will be able to buy or sell unless they take his transhuman technology—the merging of man and Beast. If they receive his Mark, they will become one with the Beast’s AI-driven neural network. The public persona of this Skynet system will be the Image of the Beast. Those who refuse to take the Mark of the Beast and worship his Image will be enemies of the new world state. All such people will be hunted down and terminated—hasta la vista, baby. The new world surveillance state: you can run, but you can’t hide!
2 Timothy 3:1 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times will come.”
Now, for one of my favourite verses:
Psalm 42:1 “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.”
It is 10.25pm and a the driver powers up 'Mary Queen of Scots' with the 3J51 10.00 York Thrall to York Thrall via Scarborough, Hull, Beverley and Selby RHTT working.
On this occasion, the train had to reverse in the station and return to Thrall depot via Skelton Junction due to an engineering possession at Holgate.
Processed with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop including AI driven noise reduction and generative fill to enhance the original image.

After 11 years of resistance today I finally bought an Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom subscription. This is my first image done with the new Photoshop. I am amazed at the new capabilities that have been added since the release of Photoshop CS5 which I have been using now for 13 years.
I began using Adobe products in the early 1990s in a small home-based graphics design business my wife and I owned and operated for almost 30 years. At that time, quality laser printer fonts, called typefaces back then, could only be acquired from Adobe for outrageously high prices. I remember paying $350 for just a single typeface family (Helvetica).
I have had Photoshop since just after its initial release and bought Creative Suite 2 when it first came out and later upgraded to Creative Suite 5. The original prices of the various Adobe graphics software we used and the video editing software, plus all the subsequent upgrades cost us a small fortune. So when Adobe went to a subscription model I decided to pass and simply continue using my licensed software like Photoshop CS5, Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat, Premier Pro, and others.
RESULTS:
After I was all done processing the above image with the newly downloaded Photoshop version I found that the image quality, colours, details and everything else I could see were no better than the results I got with my 13-year old Photoshop CS5 version. However, there are a lot of new and very cool capabilities and features, many AI driven, in the new version, especially background replacement which I have for at least 10 years and have always done fully manually. So I'm keeping the subscription, and of course I want to try out Lightroom which I have never used to date.
Implanted with a microchip—part of the data ecosystem. Join the AI data revolution. Connect to the Smart World, the new world (order) of data—an interconnected AI-driven data chain. Your implant will be a data-producing smart device, which will systematically extract information. You will be hypnotized. You will be mesmerized. With your applied mathematics of multidimensional persistence you will chant these numeric invariants of encoded information: 666 the name of the Beast. Jump into the matrix—the data matrix of numbers, symbols, and expressions. Can you solve the mathematical equation of the Beast? Start data mining the Scriptures and you will see into the future. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, can your computer solve the riddle: calculate the number of the Beast and tell me his name? Will you take his Mark, will you serve him? Will you plug yourself in—into the Beast system? Will you worship the Beast—Satan’s seed?
Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't posted in several months. Between finishing my last weeks at school, and a few other things, I've hardly had time to build anything. I've got a vehicle I hope to post sometime soon (no promises) but I'll try.
Anyhow

Drone Security Guard:
This simple AI driven machine completes it's rounds at a mega-corporation's headquarters, armed to the teeth with it's issued weapon, and it's shoulder mounted missile payload. It may just be security, but you aren't going to have an easy time getting past it.
- this picture didn’t show it very well, but the idea behind the missile pod on the shoulder is that it's on a motorized arm, and has a targeting system either in the head area of the drone or an independent unit on the pod itself. It doesn't pack a big explosion, usually just a flash bang, but military models commonly have more lethal ordinance loaded inside. I’ll post a better picture of it sometime.
(A Tribute build to Robbe, a source of inspiration and encouragement. This group wouldn't be the same without you, bro)
As technology advanced, resulting in mechanization and automation revolutionizing an increasingly large portion of daily life, it was inevitable that this would also have ramifications upon the modern battlefield.
Drones, AI driven troop transports, and Exoskeleton Power Suits filled the battlefield, and contrary to many expectations, the human factor was increased rather than decreased. Technology claimed to supplant training, and masses of minimally trained troops could be fielded with relative ease and speed. In order to accommodate what was becoming the modern age's pike-man infantry, the industry behind a large portion of Exoskeleton Militarization also started mass producing fire arms to accompany their Battle Suits. The M473, nicknamed "Econo-Rifle" by troops, was the primary result of this endeavor.

The World Economic Forum: “The only way to stop the exponential propagation of a COVID-like cyber threat is to fully disconnect the millions of vulnerable devices [social distancing and quarantining of all electronic devices] from one another and from the internet.” Great, a repackaged plandemic made in a computer lab! Build (the internet) Back Better! The Great (computer) Reset! The official narrative: a nonlinear, three-dimensional, AI virus has attacked the internet! This fake Cyber Pandemic will shut down the internet, and they will swap it out for the Internet 2.0; the full rollout of the real metaverse; a tightly controlled internet/virtual world that will be linked to a Universal Digital ID number and Social Credit Score System. This new (non-infected) internet will be the safest space ever, with no misinformation or disinformation (just NWO propaganda). Ironically, its critics will nickname it: the Ministry of Truth.
Eventually the New World Order will announce: every one must be microchipped! In order to save the planet, we must monitor everyone’s carbon footprint—as you can see, we are in a Climate Pandemic! This pandemic is causing worldwide famines and plagues. Therefore we must use smartchip biometric surveillance technology to track the rationing of water, food, and medicine. Through AI monitoring, we will know that everything is being rationed out properly. This will not only ensure equality for all, but it will also cut out all mismanagement and theft. Transhumanism, here we come! 666 smartchip hacks: neural monitoring by AI-driven mind control technology. 666 smartchip jab injuries: “And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.”
BTW The Beast will be immune to all lawsuits! And those who refuse the smartchip jab will not be able to buy or sell. In fact, they will be enemies of the state. They will be hunted down and sentenced to death. They will face the guillotine, as the transhumans cheer: death to humanity! “And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the Beast or his Image and had not received his Mark on their foreheads or their hands.”
“China is in the process of fulfilling what Stalin, Hitler and Mao could only dream about: The flawless totalitarian state, powered by digital technology, where the individual has nowhere to flee from the all-seeing eye of the Communist state.” The same thing will happen worldwide as countries implement a Central Bank Digital Currency, a Biometric Digital ID, and a Chinese style Social Credit Score System, which will ultimately lead to the microchipping of humanity (transhumanism).
The unfathomably destructive machine that is Neolith Corp. PMC, - shortly NCM, -
relies heavily on automated systems - it's more likely to see a AI-driven vehicle rather than a living being on the battlefield. That refers to all types of units - drone infantry is also a thing.
Neolith Corp. produce and use countless models of UV's - here are displayed only some of them. These names were given by the living NCM soldiers and maintenance crews - smaller drone models rarely get an official poetic name.

So here's some AI-guys that I built for Dronuary 2025. Inspired heavily by Devid VII's builds. His recent works are simple fire, got me to start cookin' too.
Over the past two years, I have been seeking a macro lens with an extended focal length but have been unable to find one at a reasonable price. Consequently, I have purchased two high-quality telephoto lenses to use as alternatives. While these lenses have performed satisfactorily, I decided to utilize my dedicated 100mm macro lens on this day at Chicano Park in San Diego to photograph a hood ornament.
My macro lens, dating back to the mid-1980s, not only exhibits exceptional sharpness but also possesses the remarkable ability to render out-of-focus areas in an aesthetically pleasing manner. As I commenced composing the shot, I noticed the vibrant and intricate background. My extensive experience has taught me that this frequently yields favorable outcomes. I took approximately eight exposures and selected the most suitable one to post today.
To expedite capturing images, I typically do not employ a tripod for my macro shots, even when I am capturing those images in low light conditions. Instead, I enable Auto ISO, allowing the camera to automatically adjust shutter speed as necessary to preserve sharpness and avoid motion blur. This is accomplished by adjusting the camera sensor’s sensitivity. While this approach may result in a grainy image, Adobe Lightroom’s AI-driven denoising technology enables me to obtain a perfectly clean image without compromising the image’s details.
Achieving the optimal outcome—an ideal situation indeed!

So, if you've been following along you might think you've seen this build already, and you have!
This was originally the "Lord Protector's Personal..." but after some valuable criticism from J¤nesy, (Long story short, it was cheerfully re-imagining a moment of white authority in the British Empire, which pretty much sucks.) I felt it behooved me to change the build up a little bit.
I had a few problems along the way getting the microfig "right" with what I had, and I'll probably try an entirely different build for the Subcontinent later. Hopefully you enjoy this one for now.
Groningen is a Dutch city known for its rich history and vibrant cultural scene. And since 2019 it is home to a modern marvel that seamlessly blends the old and the new: the Forum Groningen. This architectural gem stands tall in the heart of the city, captivating both locals and visitors with its innovative design and multifaceted purpose.
It is a Contemporary Masterpiece. The Forum Groningen stands as a symbol of modernity against the backdrop of the city's traditional architecture. Designed by NL Architects in collaboration with the Swiss firm Swiss architects Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven, the building boasts a contemporary and dynamic aesthetic that challenges the conventional.
The building has a unique geometry. Consisting of various stacked cubes and angular shapes, the building presents a visually captivating facade that seems to defy gravity. The architects' choice of form not only adds an element of surprise but also maximizes the use of space within the structure.
The forum is a multi-purposeful development. Beyond its avant-garde exterior, the Forum Groningen houses a versatile space that serves a multitude of functions. It hosts a public library, a state-of-the-art cinema, exhibition spaces, and even a rooftop terrace that offers panoramic views of the city. This intentional integration of diverse functions reflects the architects' commitment to creating a space that caters to the varied interests and needs of the community.
Beyond its architectural prowess, the Forum Groningen is a cultural hub that pulsates with creativity. It hosts a wide array of events, from film festivals to literary gatherings, making it a dynamic space that fosters community engagement and artistic expression. It even houses a publicly available 3D print shop. The building's open design invites individuals to explore and interact, creating a sense of connectivity within the city.
Technical stuff
This is a single handheld shot taken with a Canon G5X. The setting were: 640ISO, -2/3EV, f5.6, 1/25 and 8.8mm. Although, this camera, in Canon’s G-series Powershot range, is versatile and quite good in most all circumstances, it is indoors a little bit strong on noise in the higher ISO-ranges. So, I thought this was a great opportunity to test the recently added AI-driven noise reduction tool in Lightroom. I think, this tool did a great job. Especially with regard to keeping the crisp sharpness of the image. Unfortunately such tools ask rather a lot of processor capacity of one computer… So, you guessed it, a new project is born!
Furthermore, I converted the colour RAW photo into black-and-white with Lightroom and balanced the toning a little. Finally, I added the copyright signs (in Photoshop). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the frequent copying of my photos. So, don't bother commenting on that.
This old snag at Crater Lake was taken in the summer but the last update by Photoshop has a feature that is AI driven and you can do the seasons.. I did winter as an experiment because you would never be able to get this in the winter and it did a pretty good job.. Maybe I shouldn't say never because you could snowshoe or ski in...
This is part of a personal project to document a show’s production work, from early rehearsals to opening night. The actors have had scripts for a while, and they have been rehearsing songs together, but this is full-cast rehearsal-#2; O-minus 33-days.
One of the challenges in this project is the lousy light. We are still weeks away from bright stage lights. I also cannot intrude on the rehearsals by shooting flash, so everything has to be shot under dim, fluorescent work-lights.
I am also trying out the new "...AI-driven" Denoise-function that has shown up in LR-Classic. I like it. I think that this new algorithm could be a game-changer for high-ISO, and I'm sure it will be in next year's smartphones.

While at Bosque del Apache we got to witness some kestrel fighting. It was amazing. As you well know, these birds are small. And they were a bit far. I took the image with the OM Systems OM-1 camera, 300mm lens, and 1.4x for a total of 420mm. And with the crop factor of 2 it is an effective 840mm. By mistake I had disabled bird tracking, call it operator error with my new camera, and the image was soft.
I first processed the original image in Photo Ai to remove noise, add sharpness, crop it to the interesting part, and finally scale it up a factor of 2 per side. Then in Photoshop, used the Remove tool to remove many twigs, including one through the back of the back facing kestrel. Finally, edits in Lightroom with AI driven masks.
This is just an example of all the new AI-driven tools at our disposal. If you look closely, you will see some artifacts. But these tools will just keep getting better.
Excerpts from the press release today: "ATAI Life Sciences, a global biotechnology company builder that envisions an end to mental illnesses, announced the close of a $24 million financing round.
Several globally renowned investors like Peter Thiel as well as Steve Jurvetson and Maryanna Saenko of Future Ventures join ATAI's numerous other reputable backers like Michael Novogratz' Galaxy Digital, Thor Bjorgolfsson, Efrem Kamen, and ATAI founder Christian Angermayer's Apeiron Investment Group.
"We are thrilled to have partners like Peter Thiel and Future Ventures with us for the next phase of our journey," said Christian Angermayer, Founder of ATAI. "Both Peter and Steve have been prescient in identifying paradigm shifting enterprises, and we're honored by their trust in ATAI's vision."
ATAI is recognized as the world's leading mental health biotech company, leveraging a decentralized data-driven platform that combines an emphasis on psychedelic compounds with non-psychedelics and artificial intelligence. ATAI's portfolio currently includes: psilocybin for treatment resistant depression; ibogaine for opioid use disorder; arketamine for treatment resistant depression; deuterated etifoxine for anxiety; and a company designing next-generation psychedelic medicines using computational biophysics."
Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and the sales of relatively ineffective antidepressant drugs are $14B per year, and growing. "Given the immediate and long-term mental health impacts of coronavirus containment efforts, the urgency of the mental health crisis will only grow. We are more committed than ever to ensuring people around the world have access to safe and effective treatment alternatives." — ATAI CEO & co-founder Florian Brand
Here is the current collection of ATAI companies:
• Compass Pathways: synthetic psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), in phase IIb clinical trials and an FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation
• Perception Neuroscience: Arketamine for patients with TRD. Compared to esketamine (FDA approved), animal models of arketamine suggest greater antidepressant efficacy and less dissociative effects, perhaps affording out-patient use
• GABA Therapeutics: deuterated etifoxine, a rapid onset anxiolytic without benzodiazepine-like side effects, for generalized anxiety disorder
• DemeRx: ibogaine and noribogaine for opioid use disorders, with clinical trial applications for phase II testing
• Neuronasal: emergency through-the-nose concussion treatment;
• Kures: deuterated mitragynine as a low-risk alternative for pain management and opioid dependence therapy
• Innoplexus: AI for accelerating drug development and trial design
• Entheogenix: AI-driven drug design platform for psychedelics focused on optimizing onset times and neurogenerative/anti-inflammatory/hallucinogenic effects.
And here is more information on the psychedelic medicines.

A weekend jaunt with my daughters to the new art exhibit at the de Young.
As one might expect from the long history of AI marketing, we were left hoping for more.
"In today’s AI-driven world, increasingly organized and shaped by algorithms that track, collect, and evaluate our data, the question of what it means to be human has shifted. Uncanny Valley is the first major exhibition to unpack this question through a lens of contemporary art and propose new ways of thinking about intelligence, nature, and artifice."
"Echoes of Tomorrow" is a visual ode to a future where artificial intelligence and robotics seamlessly integrate with human aspirations. This series delves into the potentialities of architecture, design, and daily life, transformed by the limitless creativity and precision of AI. It captures a world where physical constraints persist, yet human ingenuity is amplified through the vast possibilities offered by technology. These images offer a glimpse into a plausible future where constructions and landscapes are crafted with a detail and scale currently unimaginable - a tribute to the unforeseen ahead.
Poem:
In the glow of gilded domes agleam,
Where the wheels of time ignite their spark,
She stands, a relic of a bygone dream,
Gazing forth at dawn's impending arc.
She watches robots weave thoughts and steel,
In a choreography of code's own verse,
Where the line betwixt creator and creation
Is blurred in technology's harmonious curse.
We don ourselves in dreams' attire,
Forge bridges from lucid streams of data,
In a world where AI's breath infuses life
Into abodes we cherish, ever fonder.
Haiku:
Golden domes rise high,
Dreams of AI gently bloom,
New dawn, hope descends.

Oxbody freighters are usually nothing more than a scaffold with a crew compartment bolted to the front and some engines on the back. Cargo can be attached in whatever configuration is most efficient. Some ships do away with a crew altogether in favor of an AI driven ship with a crew of labor bots.

Cloverfield and LOST producer J.J. Abrams and I'll be working on a movie that would revolutionize movies and special visual effects and will release it on November 16, 2012. It is called...
DINOSAURS: AN EPIC PREHISTORIC TALE (2012)!!!
And Although the Dinosaurs will talk, and although many of the species of animals depicted in my movie do not exist at the same time and place, It's gotta be the biggest, greatest, coolest, most awesome, most spectacular, most ambitious, most groundbreaking, most totally epic, and most ultimate dinosaur movie since Jurassic Park (1993)!
It will be shot and exhibited completely on Digital HD Video and in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 but with plates shot in the brand new VistaVision Digital format to make the dinosaurs more grander and give them more height. (The VistaVision plates will be blown up to fit the 2.35:1 ratio.) It will be have a total budgetary production cost of $330 million. It will have a theatrical running time of 3 hours and 20 minutes (that is 200 minutes). And It will be an animated feature or so that will blend CGI and Animatronic Dinosaur characters and Innovative and Groundbreaking VFX wizardry (including Weta Digital's MASSIVE software to create AI-Driven Dinosaur agents) with a Blend of Digitally Enhanced Live Action Photography, Miniature model sets (including what Weta Workshop called "bigatures) and digital CG environments and digital matte paintings, to groundbreaking effect.
It will be about 11 dinosaurs (which are Adam, David and Eve the Iguanodons, Tearak the Troodon, Adam's best friend, Kirk the Triceratops, Samson The Stegosaurus, Maia the Maiasaura, Courtney the Corythosaurus, Frank the Lambeosaurus, George the Parasaurolophus and Anthony the Brachiosaurus) traveling through unknown and uncharted Prehistoric Lands, 65 million years ago, to find a legendary land far, far away called the Valley of the Sun. Along the way, They encountered a variety of dinosaurs and overcome obstacles and predators such as The chief villains, Three Tyrannosaurus Rex brothers named Akiro, Khan and Lucifer, their friends, Durok and Kala the Utahraptors and their army of 300 Raptors, and among others, a ruthless and massive Spinosaurus named Crocjaw.
It will be directed by Me and Cloverfield and LOST producer J.J. Abrams and I will produce it and it'll be released on 5,298 D-Cinema, Digital 3D (Real D) and IMAX 3D theatre screens on November 16, 2012. It will have a gigantically massive publicity, promotional, advertising and marketing campaign. It will have bigger marketing and an even wider theatrical release than any other movie on Dinosaurs. It will have a theatrical run that will last 338 days from November 16, 2012 to October 20, 2013.
After that, It will be released on DVD and Blu Ray Disc or HD DVD from Tim Box Home Entertainment on October 22, 2013. It will arrive in a 12-disc jam-packed, super uber, ultra-deluxe, ultimate collector's edition box set for each format. Discs One, Two, and Three will feature a 330 minute unrated Final Cut of Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale (titled Dinosaurs UNRATED: The Final Cut) with 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen direct to digital transfer, two Dolby Digital EX 5.1 and DTS ES 6.1 Enhanced Home Theater Mixes, commentaries and more.
Discs Four and Five will feature the 200-minute theatrical cut with 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen direct to digital transfer, two Dolby Digital EX 5.1 and DTS ES 6.1 enhanced home theater mixes, commentaries and more, while Discs Six, Seven and Eight will feature a 398-minute documentary called 65 Million Years BC: The Making of Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale. (split into three discs just like the unrated cut of Dinosaurs.) and Lastly, Discs Nine, Ten, Eleven and Twelve will feature tons and tons and tons and tons of bonus features.
The packaging will be awesome with 6 digipak trays containing the 12 discs for the box set.
Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale will be mixed in Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS ES, and SDDS 8-Channel Sound at Skywalker Sound and Park Road Post. Skywalker Sound and Park Road Post and Sound Designers Randy Thom, Christopher Boyes, Ethan Van Der Ryn, David Farmer, Tom Myers and Star Wars Prequels sound editor Matthew Wood, and Will Files, in creating the most believable dinosaur vocalizations ever heard in a movie since Jurassic Park (1993), will employ the same technique that Sound Designer Gary Rydstrom had employed for Jurassic Park 15 years ago--to start with nature by recording a whole lotta living animals and piece them together in interesting ways...totally interesting ways, indeed.
The original music score for my dinosaur movie will be by Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, Mark Mancina and/or James Horner, and it will sound like the music of The Lion King (1994) and those of Disney's Dinosaur (2000), Disney's Tarzan (1999), Disney's Mighty Joe Young (1998), Waterworld (1995), The Power of One (1992) (with its african-style music), The Jurassic Park Movies (1993-2001), and Jerry Goldsmith's music for Congo (1995). The Soundtrack Album will be the complete music score and will be called Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale: The Complete Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
The Characters, Creatures, Miniatures, Visual Effects and Animation will be by Industrial Light and Magic, Weta Workshop, Weta Digital, Tatopoulos Studios, Kerner Optical, Ninth Ray Studios, Tippett Studio, and The Orphanage. And among the VFX and Animation supervisors for my Dinosaur Movie will be John Knoll, Scott Fararr, Rob Coleman, Joe Letteri, Richard Taylor, Christain Rivers, Eric Leighton, Ralph Zondag (both of which directed Disney's Dinosaur (2000)), Patrick Tatopoulos, Michael Lantieri, Phil Tippett, Randy Dutra, Randall Cook, Genndy Tartakovsky (of Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack fame) and his Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack production team.
Artists such as Mark Hallett, Ricardo Delgado, David Krentz, Todd Marshall, William Stout, Gregory S. Paul, Luis V. Rey, Doug Henderson, and many, many, many others, and the designers at Weta Workshop, Tatopoulos Studios, Kerner Optical, Ninth Ray Studios, etc., will provide hundreds and hundreds and thousands and thousands of conceptual artwork and scluptures for my movie.
I wanted to create a movie in which no humans appeared, only modern, scientifically-accurate yet talking dinosaurs animated with hi tech computers and hi tech animatronic robotics. (the Dinosaurs will have to talk just like the lip syncing talking animals in Babe (1995) and in Stuart Little (1999)) Pre Production will begin on February 2009, although the script will be done first, Production will begin on June 2010 and will end in March 2012. and Post Production will begin on March 2012. So Developing and making Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale will be an totally epic, three-year journey or vacation.
It will be a film partially inspired by Land Before Time (1988), Jurassic Park (1993), Disney's Dinosaur, Lord of the Rings, etc. And it will be totally awesome, guys. This is gonna be the biggest, greatest, and most expensive movie ever made. On November 2012, See the next biggest, greatest, coolest, most awesome, most spectacular, most ambitious, most groundbreaking, most totally epic, and most ultimate dinosaur movie since Jurassic Park...Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale (2012)!!!!

In a world where AI's breath infuses life
Into abodes we cherish, ever fonder.
