Jurassic Park at 30: how its CGI revolutionised the film industry

You can also read this article in Welsh.

This month marks the 30th anniversary of a film that changed cinema forever. 1993’s Jurassic Park used pioneering computer-generated imagery (CGI) to bring dinosaurs to life in Steven Spielberg’s adaption of the novel of the same name.

The film quickly became a must-see event and audiences were left amazed by the spectacle of seeing believable dinosaurs grace the big screen for the first time. Jurassic Park not only made giant leaps in special-effects filmmaking, but it also paved the way for myriad subsequent productions that featured beasts of all shapes and sizes.
