Paleontologist Reacts to Utahraptors In Games! - The UtahRaptor Project

Thanks so much to Jim and Scott for letting me interview them and see the amazing work they've done so far. Big thanks to John for making this all happen.

Thank you again to Jim and Scott for taking time out of their day and talking to me about this project and John for organising the whole thing. Sorry If the audio isn't crystal clear I had a little problem with one of the mics, which I should have caught.
"Next time it'll be flawless!"

Can I just say... paleontologist are the most chill people I have ever met. They remind me of cheerful gnomes.

Thank you so much for coming to Utah and featuring the Utahraptor Project. I donate my time working on the web content and graphics for the team, and we're so grateful for the interest and support from the gaming community.

Anyone who thinks a feathered dinosaur isn't scary never met an angry mother emu. She was on the other side of a fence, so I wasn't in danger, but man did I feel fear.

i like this guy's attitude, he clearly enjoys and is enthusiastic about his profession. god bless him and the awesome work he does.

[LuigiG]

James, in case you weren't aware, you just helped out the _Utahraptor_ project a whole lot more. There have been way more donations and support for it within the last couple of hours thanks to you!

He seems like that kind of guy you can sit with and just talk for hours.

"Animating Feathers/Hair is pain in the @ss."

[Valandar]

I'm actually slightly impressed with Jim's observations on the difficulty of creating a fully feathered game model... and he's absolutely right, too.

Ark: so you say animating feathers is hard
2 seconds later
Ark: i present to you valguero with the new 100% feathered raptor

[karasuumei]

The fact that he pointed out how Theropods couldn't turn their wrists down made me happy. It seems to be such a little-known fact.

[maddymiller]

Who's here because they love dinosaurs?
*I raise my hand*

[sajaak]

To those who think that a feathered raptor isn't scary:

Go find a cassowary and square up with it. Shouldn't be a problem, it's covered in feathers and much much smaller than something like a Utahraptor.

Heck I doubt they'd keep their cool against an accurately sized velociraptor.

[MrMEOLA]

Loved the interview bro! Glad I finally got around to watching it!

[roblox_myths]

11:34 XD the guy in the back looks so disgusted with every single one

[rizkymaulana]

Man I love everytime Scott reacted to the Utahraptors in games he was like "dafuq?"

[puppetbrody]

This made me cry seeing all the stuff in the back. I have a dream to be a paleontologist but I can’t afford or do college. So videos that help me learn are my closest thing. Thank you.

[yagirldrash]

So much respect for these guys... I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was little and my dreams never came true. But this is amazing!
