- This video is part 1 in a 2 part series about reconstructing the dinosaurs that left their tracks at Copper Ridge, near Moab Utah. In this part I discuss reconstructing a the sauropod dinosaur Diplodocus for an illustrated interpretive panel to be placed at the site to educate visitors about it's natural history and significance.

In the words of a friend of mine "If you are a monster you can go on and be extravagant, if you're a tiny rat however, it's better to stay hidden". Sauropods had little to worry in relation to predators (in most cases), so there is no need for them to hide their appearance, only while they're young maybe.
The sad and dark music almost covers the speakings...
This was great but he music was just a bit too loud
I'm a simple man. Knowing the fact that Brian Engh and Matt Wedel teamed up to work on a reconstruction of the fauna of Copper Ridge means an istant upvote.
Matt & I have been puttin in WORK!!! More SV-POW approved sauropod art coming soon!!
That's not exactly a simple concept simple man. It's not even a simple sentence.
@@whynottalklikeapiratHe's just using a meme format
@@christopherherr7561 I know. And what I said still applies.
The soundtrack might have been bearable if it didn't compete in volume with the narrative.
That was tremendous Brian. Can't wait to see more from you.
Thanks! Part 2 is almost done!
ypu are tremendous too :D
Great video, very intersting but the music was rather distracting. I hope that in future videos you'll turn the music down a couple of notches. Otherwise, good job.
No. Wrong. The music was great
@@pablopumarestaminiau7512 It was great music, but the volume was a bit overwhelming.
@@Vox-Multis really? i always find it helps immerse me
Music is amazing
It might serve the video better at a lower volume, but it was an integral part of why I love these videos, so it was distracting only if I was trying to only learn about sauropods.
I came here for art AND information.
Excellent film, but the music is a bit loud for me. Makes the narration difficult to hear. Otherwise, superb.
Your depiction of diplodocus makes it look alien and mysterious the one reason most people are fascinated by them
Please never stop making videos like this, it's so educational but not in a boring way, it really brings not only the dinosaurs and plants to life, but also paleontology.
Can't hear - music too loud.
You sound like your trying not to sound like your singing and failing not to sing, it definitely makes the video better, lol.
It’s just perfect
the way they started talking In thought they were gonna start rapping
Very inspiring Brian, narration, music and pictures are on point!
hello my friend
Joschua! Aprove This!
Absolutely love this! your narration and illustrations blew me away. Great to see more colorful interpretations of Sauropods.
I always get a little excited when my local museum shows up in a Paleo video. DMNS, FTW!
the music is a bit too loud
and a bit repetitive and more than a bit BORING
i just stumbled upon your channel and I like that format very much. Definitely excited for part 2.
thank you. please encourage others to stumble this direction.
This was great, learning how you figured out which sauropod type was the likely print maker and how to portray it. In the spirit of constructive criticism, I would have liked it even more without the background music, which was distracting and much less interesting than your description and images. Thank you.
Lungfish also have polychromatic color vision.
Yeah a lot of fish do! Seems color vision is the primitive state. Thanks for checking out the video Jim!
Really fascinating video! Also, really well put together; can't wait for part II =)
man what an ending, gave me chills.
Hey Brian, these videos are fantastic and I definitely dig the stories that are told here -- it paints such a vivid picture of the brutal life of animals that inhabited the Copper Ridge region.
One suggestion I would make for this video is perhaps mixing things a bit differently. There were quite a few moments -- both in part one and two -- where the mixing of soundtrack and sound effect are elevated to a point that they are competing with your narration rather than complementing it; it was a bit distracting to have to rewind or turn down the volume during certain sections to really hone in on your voice.
Beyond that, I felt your presentation was great and I'm looking forward to more content.
What an awesome video! Instant subscribe! Looking forward to watching more of your content (and maybe travelling overseas to see it myself one day!) thanks for making TH-cam more interesting!
I wish I lived somewhere with dinosaur fossils
you may live closer than you think...
BRIAN ENGH PALEOART what software do you use for your art and animation?
I live in the dead center of Indiana.
you're as close to many dinosaur bearing strata as I am to Utah (I'm based in southern CA and my trips to these sites come out of pocket)
I adore you and your work Mr. Engh. You have skill!
There was and even bigger one called "implodocus" but it quickly and dramatically went extinct
I swear you sound like whang sometimes, great video!
Can't wait to see the documentary!
Why is the music so loud? It's just there for emotional effect turn that down dude
Turn ur volume down
The music was a bit too loud and distracting.
Wow😱 Absolutely loved this! Great work all-round!
Do you research any of this info before making the video? Because if you don't, then that's awesome that you have all of this in memory.
You talk about birds and colour vision. I had to paus at 8:12 and when I do my other stuffs for some minutes I said to myself "yeah they even see more colours than we do". Starting the video again. Hearing you almost echoing my words. Did we science each others? :D
And by the way. You depictions of the sauropods are so beautiful. It feels natural. And I know you think first and draw afterwards!
🎵🎻🦖" You can see those fossils fossilizing down Copper Ridge Site!"🦕🎵🪕🎸
This is ace, great artwork!!
Everything you do is so fucking cool
Wow.
Just wow.
Would be great but why is the music so loud? Can't always hear the narration.
agree, so annoying. would love to hear the speaker
@@psalc7445 what are you talking about I can hardly hear the music
Please, remove the background music. It's too loud and repetitive! =/
No.
Agree totally. I was wondering, Am I the only one that notices this ? I don't think others notice it because they don't listen to narration . . . or don't understand the meaning of words.
Love your channel.
I just visited this site. It was wonderful.
Fucking hell I can't wait for more videos, everything in it is perfect, most notably your voice holy shit
Great stuff love Dinos
paleoart is magic
darn. can't hear b/c music is waayyy too loud
Just found your channel a couple days ago. Good stuff.
Combining the dreary music with the overly dramatic narration makes this sound like a '50s horror film.
Is this a joke or criticism
@@Dino-lemon265 a joke.. (and not an good one)
you're a good science communicator!
Who thing that place is like wildspire waste?
Yo Brian thank you I’m an artist myself I remember dinosaurs wer my first love to draw that and Godzilla well my mother being into sci-fi I was like a kid in a candy store and comics took over so for the past few years sci-fi and comics were really all I drew dinosaurs also but that would expand when I saw your video with you art dude you are awesome I mean I’m good but you are boom homie that’s real when I say that I find myself studying your style not trying to copy but learn pick up new things keep up the great work stay safe be well piece out
Music too loud
Why can't I stop watching
Brilliant reasoning! Finally ❤
when they show the guys talking about pes and manus it literally just looks like regular dips in rock... imagine how many fossils and footprints we see everyday and just dont even realize
I still try to figure the use or purpose of that excessively long thin snake tail that they had.
I don't know if it's true or not, but there's a few articles talking about sauropods mainly eating ground vegetation.
Nah look at those teeth
Why the music?
And with many sauropods in the same area having colors and patterns to help tell the difference could have been important
The put ta cah gah hod sung background sound. Bwe sit .
I have been calling diplodocus dip-low-dock-cuss as a kid
It's beautiful and I love the reconstruction, but I have to ask: isn't the position of the neck (very swan-like) unnatural for a Diplodocus?
Not quite; all living birds' skeletons have a natural S shape to them, and research on the neck vertebrae of sauropods such as Diplodocids shows they had alot more flexibility in the neck than previously thought, and were quite capable of having their neck in this shape as well.
@@SpinedLizardLagoon thanks! I may have been stuck on some quite outdated information. I'll admit that the very last time I've learned something about Diplodocus was around the time "Walking with dinosaurs" came out and that's pretty long time ago, way "before feathers". I guess it's about time to update my knowledge :)
Manas and pez !! Oooo... sexy dinosaur talk, I’m lookin and I’m a liken...🥰
Why does this low-key feel like slam-poetry lol he speaks in time with the song
Is there a school or combination of degrees you'd recommend for pursuing paleoart?
I can’t hear over the music it’s overkill
I can't believe Aesop Rock likes dinosaurs too
Sick music
lose the music
I live in moab
Awesome! So glad this is reaching locals! Please share! You live in a beautiful part of the world.
I just added a map link to the video description so you can find the site (I don't know why I forgot to add this before!): goo.gl/dopl9L
Visited Moab in May 2019, loved visiting the Moab Rock Shop and enjoyed seeing dinosaur fossis there. The Cedar Mountian Formation just North of the Arches Monument has fantastic early Cretaceous dino bone deposits especially around the Yellow Cat Uranium mining area!
Paleantologist says there's a thing there. Yep definately a scientist gotta love when they say that it's so funny to me
I wonder how often diplos wounded themselves with their own tails on a missed strike...like flipping yourself with a wet towel. Ouch.
majority of large birds were coloured plainly dude
dude lower the fucking volume of the music. it competes with your voice.
Really annoying knocking background music that is distracting. Because of that, I quit watching after 3:30.
no one asked.
Manus=forefoot and pas (pez)= hind foot?
DIPLODONKADONKUS
DINOSAUR GHOSTS! DINOSAUR GHOSTS!!
if i were an outcrop i'd keep my eyes out for scarecrows, screw those guys.
The spooky music is TOO loud, and detracts from the information being relayed!
background music is much too loud, and annoying. Couldn't finish watching.
absolutely beautiful. Altho the pterosaurs could be better, and I miss some quills.
Curious what you would you would suggest improving about the Rhamphorhynchoids, bearing in mind that Rhamphorynchus (which these are based on) is known from numerous exquisitely preserved specimens...
Re quills: although all dinosaurs may have carried the genes for simple hair like quills from a possibly fuzzy common ancestor, there is no reason to think that would mean all dinosaurs expressed those genes and had quills, or that any tiny hair like structures would be visible from far away (just as, say, the tiny hairs on African Rhinos aren't visible from far away). Stay tuned for an upcoming video on the diversity of dino integument, as well as another video that will indeed feature quilly sauropods.
senpai noticed me!!!!!
first of all, I think the rhamphorhynchine present in the Morrison had a crest, and I think the patagia could be more aerodynamic. you shouldn't be able to see the arm and finger outlines, because of their pulmonary system. see witton 2013 and multiple works of Ashley Patch, Nic Gruber, and John Conway to see what I mean.
I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that there was a crested rhamphorynchine in the Morrison. All of the Morrison pterosaur material (that I am aware of) is highly fragmentary, & there is very little cranial material. Also, considering the Morrison's affinity with some Europoean strata and the ability of flying animals to migrate thousands of miles I think it is completely reasonable to reconstruct these as basic Rhamphorynchus sp.. Also, none of the Morrison experts (Foster, Kirkland) who saw early drafts of this illustration and advised on it brought up any issues with the Pterosaurs. Re: Arm and finger outlines: please note that the pterosaurs in my painting are strongly backlit, & wing their membranes were quite thin, even if partially inflated with air. When strongly back lit the internal musculoskeletal system can often be seen within pneumatic structures, as in this photo of a maribou stork: cdn2.arkive.org/media/D2/D218F1E9-3C58-461B-8A2A-416C0A3E63B9/Presentation.Large/Captive-marabou-stork-in-flight-gular-sac-backlit.jpg
I gotta admit though that I am not happy with the translucency in this painting and wish I could have afforded more time to finesse the lighting.
Birds are reptiles
Reptiles is a useless grouping.
Please do not use such loud music next time. I can hardly understand what you are saying.
The site should not be open to the public. People ruin things.
The loud music ruins the video
this background music is horrible and destroys the mood of the video
BIG HUGE BADONKADONK GIGANTO TAILS
8:53 no.... just no...
Yes... Just yes. ;}}
.
The "noise" (musicish) is especially IRRITATING! Lose it!
😂
Lost me on bo donko donk...
why tho?
@@DinosaursReanimated I think it was the introduction to this video. The music, the seriousness of it, played well with the tone and atmosphere you were creating I enjoyed that it was alluring, but as soon as you used the word bo donko donk I was disconnected by it because it didn't really fit. It dropped the intelligence level a bit. I appreciate the humor aspect of it, it just had no place there with everything leading up to that point and you used it to make your point which made it stand out, even more without it really being the intention it took me out of the element and tone you were leading with.. I finished watching the video by the way and found it very informative.
Also I did give it a thumbs up.
It is interesting to me that you think using one of the only words that I feel succinctly characterizes a large highly mobile backside "dropped the intelligence level a bit"...
Please rate the following substitutions in order of intelligence level so i know which to use in future videos:
booty
fatty
bigolbutt
dat dino thickness
hiney
moneymaker
derrière
tush
caboose
bon bon
trunk (with the junk)
tuchus
big ass
In future videos, please consider dropping the stupid eerie music. It's annoying and inappropriate.
pity about the music, if you use an expert about dinosaurs, maybe you should use an expert on music!!
