Palaeo animation commissions opening for the new year! Whether you want something for science & educational purposes, or just for a personal project, drop me a DM or email me at dane.pavitt@gmail.com for custom motion cycles or reconstructed palaeo scenes!

Muting now, we have a concensus that they're probably Imperobator. You can stop now 😆

Does anyone have a clue what these theropods are? They don't have sickle claws so they can't be dromaeosaurs or troodonts. The arms are too well developed to be young Tyrannosaurs. Are they Megaraptors? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?! #PrehistoricPlanet2

@JamesCleverly @Conservatives Might have been worth doing another take where you could remember your lines & at least give the impression you're invested

Lower council tax, better services, hard working representatives. That’s what you get with @Conservatives running your local council. Vote Conservative in tomorrow’s local government elections.

@TetZoo Perfect timing! I'm doing an animation for the National Museums Scotland reconstructing Scottish fossil environments. This'll be something novel to add into it

Finally, 'new look' flathead #Crassigyrinus is here. Goodbye tadpole-head version... nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…

@HoudzGeorge Which would make the ornithopod Morossaurus. I think you're right

SO much new stuff, & if season 1 was anything to go by, there's still so much more to come! #PrehistoricPlanet

Could do with some pocket money, so if you've got some need I can fulfil with cartoon dinosaurs & other assorted beasts, hit me up

@Bart2389 The marketing (the thing that's supposed to make me want to watch it) convinced me not to watch it

@rob__mccallum The comparison I like to use is that AI art is like using text-to-speech & calling yourself a voice actor

@alexgrigelis @CraigBennett3 @ChrisGPackham You smooth MFer

The government has pledged that everyone in England will be within a 15-minute walk to natural beauty — but it has yet to spell out how the goal will be measured... thetimes.co.uk/article/eight-…

Ya'll knew this was coming. Working hard to stay ahead of the curve on this one & get it out in good time #PrehistoricPlanet youtube.com/watch?v=etSgG8…

@Terrordome3K @PaleoNerd1905 Jesus Christ, people like you are the reason critical thinking skills should be put into school curriculums

@DaneSPavitt @PaleoNerd1905 It is real because loads of people said so. Dem the rules (apparently).

Found a flat earther.

@Terrordome3K @PaleoNerd1905 But the example you used (scientist believing the earth was flat) isn't even real. You're both badly informed & bad at making arguments

@PaleoNerd1905 @DaneSPavitt It’s not random it’s on point. Everyone telling me I’m wrong are using consensus amongst scientists as an example of why. I’m just explaining that consensus doesn’t automatically = true.

Rewatched Alien. Goddamn this movies just so perfect! The craft, the atmosphere, the tension, the thematics, & Sigourney Weaver is queen! Plus the OG Alien is still the best & scariest iteration for my money

@Terrordome3K @PaleoNerd1905 Except that never happened. Even the ancient Greeks knew the earth was round

@PaleoNerd1905 Back when most scientists agreed the Earth was flat then she (Edaphosaurus) would agree with them. Because consensus.

@disobey Some of my best writing & animation, but also one of my worst performing videos youtu.be/lf-H7YvA7YY

CONTENT CREATORS. Show me your favourite piece of content you've created ✨

@Goji_Saurus Even bears can move around quietly & take people by surprise. I wonder how big a theropod could be while still being stealthy

The day dinosaur movie writers understand that the unnerving feeling of being watched by something you can't see is much scarier than a dinosaur doing the slow walk towards you is the day everything is right with the world.

@JSandals1 It's crazy. We're the most social mammal species on the planet after the naked mole-rat, but people have been convinced that total isolation is some kind of life goal

Ahahahaha that’s the whole point. I live in a subdivision to avoid an excess pedestrian/traffic flow and loitering of outsiders in my neighborhood.
