Before the CGI breakthrough in Jurassic Park (1993), Phil Tippett created stop-motion animatics to show how the dinosaurs could move. Seeing the possibilities eventually led Steven Spielberg to push the film toward CGI.

![Steven Spielberg explains why he felt resentment and anger while he was working on "Jurassic Park" (1993) & "Schindler's List" (1993) simultaneously: "It was the best draft [Schindler’s List writer Steven Zaillian] had written after [writing] multiple drafts, [So my wife] Kate said, ‘You’re making this movie right now, aren’t you?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, right now!'” However, I was making 'Jurassic Park' right now, That was the problem. [But] I didn’t want to miss the winter. I knew I had to be shooting [Schindler’ List] in January [on location] in Poland, so it came together awfully quickly." By the time Steven Spielberg had assembled his cast and crew — including Liam Neeson, Embeth Davidtz, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Caroline Goodall, all of whom were also present at the reunion panel — he was deep into production on Jurassic Park. "When I finally started shooting…in Poland, I had to go home about two or three times a week and get on a very crude satellite feed to Northern California…to be able to approve T-Rex shots. And it built a tremendous amount of resentment and anger that I had to do this, that I had to actually go from [the emotional weight of Schindler’s List] to dinosaurs chasing jeeps, and all I could express was how angry that made me at the time. I was grateful later in June, though, but until then it was a burden." ("Steven Spielberg felt 'resentment and anger' making Schindler's List, Jurassic Park simultaneously", Joey Nolfi. Entertainment Weekly, 2018) "For me, honestly, if I had the choice, I would not have chosen to bifurcate my attention between Schindler’s List and Jurassic Park, because that in itself was a very bipolar experience for me. To be shooting the story of the Holocaust and at the same time, getting these effects of dinosaurs from an entirely different kind of motion picture genre to look believable to audiences." ("Jurassic Park: Still the Best Use of CGI in a Movie", David Crow, Den of Geek, 2019) P.S: On this day, 33 years ago, "Jurassic Park" (1993) premiered in Washington, D.C, USA.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2064428406171901983/amplify_video_thumb/2064428058371899392/img/UcOA0Z--N-XXFje5.jpg)
