Drawing over Mark "Crash" McCreery’s sketches with colored pencils, Joe Orosco devised the Spinosaur’s bright red coloring, going for a bold look that would be exhibited in the movie’s other dinosaurs, as well.
“Everybody went a little wild on Jurassic Park III’s dinosaurs. We wound up putting quills on the Raptors — all kinds of things. We knew it was probably going to be the last Jurassic Park movie, so we just went for it.”
Once design issues had been settled, Joe Orosco, John Rosengrant, Trevor Hensley, Rob Ramsdell, and Paul Mejias produced an eight-foot-long, one-fifth-scale Spinosaur maquette. As before, full-scale computer-milled foam pieces, created from a cyber scan of the maquette, formed the basis for the full-size animatronic.

In this video, you can see the Stan Winston Studio crew members, Joey Orosco, Andy Schoneberg, Trevor Hensley, and Shane Mahan sculpt fine details into the computer-milled foam Spinosaur.
