He’s great to talk with, very fun, very smart, we talked about UK sitcoms, Rugby and the fact that he’d travelled quite extensively, even to my home town… but he also carries this burden this story. Almost immediately Steve called me on the phone. Just a couple of weeks ago I emailed Steve after a kind friend sent his email address over. He was that guy.Scott Leberecht has directed Jurassic Punk, a feature-length documentary all about Steve. You may say that this could have been to any number of VFX artists, and who knows how close other artists may have been to making a similar breakthrough, but this is firmly in the history of Steve Williams himself. This series of events changed the movie industry forever. Yes Steve, is the guy who made the T-rex skeleton against the wishes of his superiors and made sure it was seen by producer Kathleen Kennedy in the pre-production days on Jurassic Park. The more breadth I can find in the narratives I record, the more interesting it becomes.Now you may recognise Steve Williams' story if you’ve seen… and I hate to say it because I dislike this show with strong feelings, The Movies That Made Us. Those things that have become mythologised in “making ofs” and articles for years. Now as any historian should, I like to hear differing points of view from people, in my case the memories of people who worked on the same movies.I like to dig deeper than just the surface level or accepted version of events.
