Wear A Raptor
When I first saw the tv mini-series "Walking With Dinosaurs", I immediately wanted to know how they made all the CGI and animatronics. If you haven't seen it, I implore you to netflix it. A behind the scenes documentary followed and one particular scene amazed me - the raptors weren't robots at all. They were masterfully crafted costumes worn by people! A series of servos and hydraulics controlled the tail but the classic stalking gait came from very talented stunt people.
Here's a snippet from the documentary including the human raptors.

This isnt from the tv show, this is from the LIVE Experience show. The TV programs WERE cgi.
