Jurassic World: Rebirth
ILP had the chance to revisit the world of Jurassic once again, delivering 157 shots across 9 sequences for the legendary saga. While the focus was on environment work and set extensions, both indoors and outdoors, we also got to sink our teeth into a few exciting creature shots with one creature, fully designed by ILP. -
The Last of Us S2
ILP contributed to the second season of The Last of Us with visual effects in two episodes, focusing on creature and water work. -
Dune Prophecy
ILP had the pleasure of providing VFX for every episode of Dune: Prophecy, with our biggest contributions featured in the first and last episodes of the season. This project has been a passion project for many here at ILP, so we were very excited when it was confirmed that we would be creating the Bene Gesserit’s home planet, Wallach IX. -
1923
The second season of the American Western drama "1923" kept the pirate crew busy with creating CG ships, water FX, period specific environment extensions and, what proved particularly challenging, a full CG newborn baby. -
Avatar: The Last Airbender S1
Our team executed a diverse array of visual effects that spanned across every episode of the season. Leveraging a mix of advanced technologies and creative artistry, our contributions ranged from crafting vast, immersive environments to executing complex FX simulations such as fire, water, explosions, and large-scale destruction. We created highly detailed digital doubles, complete with dynamically simulated cloth and hair. Our fully digital scenes brought to life bustling villages, intricate props, and lively digital characters. -
Shogun
ILP had the honour of contributing to 7 out of the 10 episodes for the epic and limited series, Shōgun. With an emphasis on historical authenticity, we were responsible for large-scale Full CG environments, vast crowd work, a devastating landslide and sweeping water simulations. Motion capture was used extensively in both our environment work and ship sequences, displaying thousands of samurai and ship crew respectively.
