Noah: Exclusive Animatronics Clip

The thing about making a movie about Noah’s Ark is, you need a heck of a lot of animals. Although Darren Aronofsky used plenty of CGI to create the creatures of Noah, he also relied on high-tech animatronics to bring the Old Testament world to life. In this CraveOnline Exclusive clip you can see Aronofsky and his star Russell Crowe playing with these lifelike robots, and the hard work that went into making those creatures look like the real thing.
