On Friday we had the opportunity to head down to the Sprint Center to see "Walking With Dinosaurs" a "live" experience brought to us courtesy of The Creature Production Company and the BBC. It has to have been one of the wildest things I have ever seen. Incredibly animated, life-sized dinosaurs roaming around the arena. Roaring, running, hunting and eating. If you have a chance to check it out, I highly recommend it. Even if you're not necessarily into dinos, go to see the mechanics of these giant lizards and how the artists who created them managed to capture life that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. I could have sworn the T-Rex was breathing. There's a moment where you have to remind your instincts that you are looking at sculptures of foam rubber and not a giant Allosaurus who will rip you limb from limb. Our other favorite part was the inflatable plants. They would pop up during specific moments in the show and made for the coolest effect. Unfortunately the photos were shot with my phone because we were told that "flash photography makes the dinos angry", but you can still get the idea.
