Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ended with dinosaurs roaming the world, and Jurassic World: Dominion will explore the consequences of this storyline. The interesting thing about the Jurassic franchise has always been the dinosaurs. What they are able to do and what they have been able to do since the franchise began. According to Jurassic World architect Colin Trevorrow, there will be more animatronics used in the third film than there was in the previous two.
Trevorrow spoke at the Comic-Con@Home panel about his excitement about the practical effects that will be used in Dominion:
“We’ve actually gone more practical with every Jurassic movie we’ve made since the first one. We’ve made more animatronics in this one than we have in the previous two. And the thing that I’ve found, especially in working in the past couple months, is that we finally reached a point where it’s possible to… digital extensions on animatronics will be able to match the texture and the level of fidelity that, on film, an animatronic is going to be able to bring. And you didn’t use to be able to really mix them. You could really see the seams. And so that part of it is very exciting for me.”
He continued:
“[Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom director] J.A. Bayona really, he found the value in creating really photo-real, just beautiful lighting references that could be articulated just slightly. Just a head and a jaw that could move, but painted beautifully, hand-painted. And we do it for all of the dinosaurs now, so when we put it into a space, you can see how the light reacts to the skin. And even if they ultimately do make that a digital animal. There was always something there reacting to the light in that environment. Just puppetry in general, just really simple puppetry is proving to be amazing.”
