Pacific Rim - Jaeger Destruction

Pacific Rim was the joint first project I worked on with ILM, in parallel with Star Trek 2 where I supervised the asset teams on both projects in Singapore. Unfortunately by the time I joined the company the Jaegers and Kaiju creatures had been built, however there was an opportunity to work on the giant robots to do damage variants as they both take a beating in the climactic end battle, set under water. There was also a sequence added of Striker fighting a Kaiju in Sydney in daylight, where we had to upres the creature to hold up to hero standard and do some environment destruction work. It was a lot of fun working on these assets and it would set us up well for the next robot show where we would be involved from the start on Transformers 4.
