Jellyfish Pictures created an entirely CGI construction covering 24 different stories in 13 different locations with over 50 dinosaurs; from giants and lethal killers, to flying and swimming monsters. The team also built a bespoke tool‑set for all aspects of the shots; from adding blood and bite marks to Dinosaur skin to dust impacts and water splashes.
