#LakePlacid, a Steve Miner film about the search for a man-eating, thirty-foot crocodile in a lake in Maine.

Stan Winston and his crew realized Lake Placid’s crocodile as a full-size animatronic puppet — complete with moving head and tail and snapping jaws — that would function underwater. The crocodile was mechanized through hydraulics, which, as had been learned on previous projects, worked fairly well in a water environment, as long as they were protected in waterproof housings and surrounded by water-resistant skin.

“We went into this show with the full knowledge that water always wins,” said Richard Landon, who led the mechanical crocodile design. “That has become my personal motto: Water Always Wins. Water will always break something. Water is the universal solvent. Superglue breaks down in it. Urethane breaks down in it. Paint breaks down in it. Water is a nightmare — and we were in it for a full six months on this show.”
