Yup, that’s just the movie without the matte. Like all versions of the movie, it has the CGI scenes present. He said he has a version where those aren’t there, or the scenes containing CGI are notably cropped compared to the others. I’d love to see that.
That’s not just the movie without the matte. That’s the exact version of the movie @olejellylegs@lemmy.zip was referring to, in which the all-practical scenes appear in an open-matte square frame while the scenes containing CGI are cropped and zoomed to widescreen. Scroll to exactly 20 minutes in and keep an eye on the screen size from cut to cut.
No it isn’t. Olejellylegs wrote, “the open matte version of the film where only digital shots are cropped”. In this the open-matte scenes are uncropped (the editor hasn’t yet removed the top and bottom of the frame to make a widescreen final shot) while the CGI scenes are cropped to widescreen (because they’ve been through the optical printing process to render the CGI back to film, and lost the extraneous top and bottom of the frame in that process.)
Especially back when this level of CGI was hugely expensive and laborious, when doing the digital FX shots they were only going to spend the time and money to render the widescreen area and they weren’t bothering with the areas of the screen which would just get cropped off.
Thank you. Basically anything requiring a digital intermediate rather than a full optical pipeline.
It’s also been widely recognized that the t-Rex specifically was physical unless it moved. It’s one of the more predictable props and it’s reinforced by the open matte version you mention.
Don’t know why that’s the dudes point of argument.
From his description it sounded otherwise. Regardless, it doesn’t change the fact that the CGI scenes in the movie look much better than the CGI in the OP’s image. And again, this is a shit post. The point was never doing deep research into a topic and winning an argument on the internet. It was making stupid jokes.

It’s the inverse of his description, though.

You asked for the thing to be shared with you, and I gave you the link. 🫡
