Important Looking Pirates visual effects supervisor Pietro Ponti explained what Industrial Light & Magic and Important Looking Pirates (ILP) approaches and expectations about the visual effects were, "From early on, we had several conversations about our sequences, and the whole supervision team at Industrial Light & Magic was extremely helpful to try and highlight what were the expectations for the different sequences from them, and of course (director) J.A. (J.A. Bayona). We were able to have great exchanges at the beginning of the process to try and settle on the look of the sequences, especially for the submarine attack, which opens the movie. We would find references and be provided references which we then shared to identify an early look for the submarine sequence. Conversely, for the T. rex attack and the Blue sequence, it was a job of blending visual effects on shot plates, so in that sense, it was much more straightforward. Technique wise, they were really happy to discuss our approaches, but also allowed us a great degree of freedom, which made it real good fun for us to figure it all out, always having someone as experienced as Alex and his team to bounce ideas with. Their expectations were of course really high, but they really trusted us, and made the whole process really enjoyable, as we are able to talk over rough comps from the beginning, so the focus was very much on the creative side of the process, and our reviews always targeted to the look and the storytelling of our shots."
