with Jay Balamurugan

Jurassic Discovery is inviting audiences behind the scenes of one of television’s most ambitious science series with a special Discovery Talk: The Making of Walking with Dinosaurs, taking place on Thursday, 8th January at 3.30pm.

The talk will be delivered by Jay Balamurugan, a TV producer, science communicator and paleoartist who worked on the landmark BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs. Jay will explore the creative and scientific journey involved in bringing dinosaurs back to life for a modern audience.

Audiences will hear first-hand how a large-scale, VFX-heavy science series is created from translating cutting-edge palaeontology into compelling, emotional storytelling, to balancing scientific accuracy with engaging, character-led narratives. Jay will also share some of the more unexpected realities of filming, including what it’s like running through forests in motion-capture suits while pretending to be a baby Triceratops.

Part of Jurassic Discovery’s popular Discovery Talks programme, the event is aimed at adults and curious minds with an interest in dinosaurs, television, science communication and behind-the-scenes storytelling.

Tickets cost £5 and can be booked online in advance.
