In this brief article I share the latest episode of the Stuck on Sorna podcast, a podcast dedicated to the behind the scenes development of Jurassic Park 3. I join podcast host Daniel Stephen to talk about the Aviary sequence and Pteranodon palaeontology in Jurassic Park 3.

Some more podcast discussions to share!

This time I join host Daniel Stephen the creator of the Stuck on Sorna Podcast in Episode 5 to talk about the Aviary sequence in Jurassic Park 3 and the Pteranodons.

The Aviary sequence in Jurassic Park 3 is iconic for a number of reasons. Find out more about the artwork and conception of the Aviary design in the latest podcast episode! Image credit: Jurassic Vault, 2021.

The episode itself focuses on the art of Jack Johnson and Ed Verreaux. The Stuck on Sorna Podcast is a fantastic addition to the Jurassic fandom, created in 2021 to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the film and share more about the films production.

Daniel has put a lot of work into obtaining interviews with cast and crew members of JP3 as well as interviews with community members within the Jurassic fandom. If you are a Jurassic Park, dinosaur or movie fan you will not want to miss listening to the behind scenes insights! Do give Daniel Stephen a follow on Twitter and check out his Linktree.

Ep. 5 – Billy Brennan and the Design of Suspense – Stuck On Sorna

Send us a textA glimpse at what the entire film could have been. Jurassic Park 3's aviary sequence gets so many things right, including the proper amount of suspense with carefully placed buildup of tension. Why does it work so well? How difficult was it to film someone walking around set wearing a Pteranodon costume? Is Grant a jerk? Let's discuss. Follow @stuckonsorna on Twitter and Instagram.

It was a pleasure to join Daniel to share some palaeontology knowledge and chat about Jurassic Park 3. I should hopefully be appearing on Episode 6 of the podcast as well! Whilst Jurassic Park 3 is the weakest film in the franchise for me, I still love the film to bits!

As I shared last time, I am currently spending all my time on thesis work and attending university lectures, so there will not be a scientific discovery article for a while. In the meantime, though do give my past articles a read and do give the blog a follow to keep up to date with my latest posts! You can catch find all my scicomm links at the scicomm links page.
