Cut Concepts and Ideas

Cut and or conceptualised ideas for TheDinosauriaSeries.

## Films

### All Days

All Days was the predecessor to TheDinosauriaSeries and was created due to the stress that the Autodale films provided. The film took place on an earth recovering from an unnatural anomaly where all days occured at the same time. It was going to be a "surreal, gritty, post-apocalyptic, dialogue-less survival story" about a group of human beings being hunted by a Tyrannosaurus rex, particularly a father and daughter. Though the setting was never the focus, as the film was just the backdrop for some man vs prehistoric beast action. David ended up really enjoying the idea and even started thinking about making All Days into a series itself instead of just one stand alone film, with each film revealing more about the sci-fi anomaly that caused all of earths history to unfold at once. However the film was getting to stressful, much like Autodale did, which was the whole point of creating a new film. Despite the film/series' cancellation some of its ideas were used the Our Frozen Past, particularly the father and daughter idea being used for the Mother Troodontid and her chicks.

### Untitled Spinosaurid Film

Not much is known about this film other than the fact that it was going to be about Spinosaurus and its "constant revisions".

### Untitled Retro-Paleoart Film

Perhaps the least known about scrapped film, this film is only known to be about Charles R. Knight style dinosaurs, and judging by the drawings it was presumably mainly about a Tyrannosaurus. The film would also likely have some Ray Harryhausen inpiration.

## Animals

### Dimorphodon

This pterosaur was going to be included within All Days.

### Gastornis

Gastornis was an animal that was going to be a part of the All Days Series.

### Colombian Mammoth

The Colombian Mammoth was going to be included within All Days, interestingly enough it was going to be quite central to the plot of the film. As the humans (likely the father) was going to use their intelligence to mimic the sound of a Mammoth using a hand-crafted horn, scaring off the Tyrannosaurus. This idea was repurposed for Our Frozen Past, with the Mother Troodontid using her mimicry abilities to call for a herd of Pachyrhinosaurus to scare off the Nanuqsaurus from her chick.

### Unnamed Horse-like Animal

Included within the artwork for All Days in the sketchbook is an unnamed Horse-like species, it is unknown whether this animal was going to actually be apart of the film however. Based on the appearance it is potentially meant to be an Eohippus, likely as a reference to The Valley of Gwangi.

### Mimics and Watchers

The Mimics and Watchers were evolved humans from the future that were going to be in All Days. They were apparently fairly peaceful creatures, that just observed everything else in the world. Mimics could also apparently shapeshift into different forms to help mimic more effectively.

### Spinosaurus

Spinosaurus was going to be included within the Untitled Spinosaurid Film. Not much is known about its inclusion.

### Ankylosaurus

Whilst unknown whether it was going to be in the film or not at any point, it is stated by David that Ankylosaurus is one of the animals he thought was missing from The Last Tyrant.

### Anzu

Much like Ankylosaurus, it is unknown whether it going to be included or not, but Anzu is stated as an animal that should have been in The Last Tyrant.
