Jurassic World II: Fallen Kingdom
The second instalment in the Jurassic World trilogy features the return of Owen and Claire to the fictional island of Isla Nublar to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from an impending volcanic eruption, only to discover a mercenary team's ulterior motives to bring them to the US mainland.

ILP was the VFX vendor for the opening sequence of the movie where a small mercenary team arrives on the abandoned Isla Nublar to collect DNA from the Indominus rex remains in the lagoon.
Our work consisted of implementing the shot plates of the two pilots of the submersible into a full CG underwater environment. Particles, silt and interaction with the seafloor was a substantial part of the work done, as well as recreating the Indominus skeleton for sawing off a piece.
After the mercenaries collect a bone sample, the Mosasaurus devours their submersible.
The ILP built Tyrannosaurus then attacks their helicopter in an action packed sequence featuring larger environment builds of the island and the destroyed visitor area.
The work featured aside from the obvious hero dinosaurs, quite a lot of environment work, both over and under the water surface, as well as a standalone sequence of everyone’s favourite raptor Blue caught and caged in a lab, staging an escape.
