The Jurassic World Main Gates were the entrance to Jurassic World on Isla Nublar.

History

At sometime prior to the Park's opening, wood was salvaged from the remnants of Jurassic Park and incorporated into Jurassic World's signature entrance.

The Jurassic World Incident

Just like every guest before them, on the day of the Jurassic World Incident, Zach and Gray Mitchell entered Jurassic World through the Main Gates on board the Monorail. The Monorail Announcer announced to the riders that they were approaching the gates and informed them of its origins.

Production Notes

Pre-Production

Production

To create the effect seen in the finished film, Industrial Light and Magic brought in specialist studio 32TEN to create a miniature version of the gate that could be combined with location photography from Hawaii.

{{quotation|During the post production process, ILM’s VFX supervisor Tim Alexander came to 32TEN Studios looking for a handful of practical shots to add a layer of reality to the film’s great CG shots.

The most prominent were the gates that welcomed visitors to the prehistoric park Jurassic World. Those gates, which needed to appear massive on screen, were actually “miniature” 19-foot set pieces built at 32TEN under the supervision of model maker Mark Anderson.

While the size of the piece was nothing new for 32TEN model makers, Trevorrow and Alexander wanted to make sure the doors looked exactly as were imagined. “It took a while to get the exact look for the concrete and the aging of the wood,” explains 32TEN Studios Executive Producer Tim Partridge. “But, after a couple of go rounds, we hit it and they looked great.”

Once designed and built, the double doors were mechanized with motion control in order to open at exactly the right time to let the monorail pass through. The gates were set up on the main stage at 32TEN and shot using a motion control system to ensure the effects shots matched the location shots.

The flames for the torches on the gate pillars were shot separately, each with it’s own motion controlled move, for later compositing.

“Colin felt it was important for the gates to be real,” explains ILM’s Alexander. “32TEN did a great job building them.”

-Trevorrow and Alexander also tapped 32TEN Studios to shoot a number of practical scale explosion elements, green screen shots with extras and stuntmen, background plates in northern California locations, and a handful of other practical elements to fill shots, particularly when the elements were near the camera.
-“Explosions are always fun to do,” says 32TEN Studios’ Practical FX Supervisor Geoff Heron, “and we have done a lot of them over the years. Tim (Alexander) was very precise in what he wanted, but he also understood that there’s always a chance that something beautiful can happen with a practical effects shoot.”
-Alexander was pleased with the efforts. “32TEN added just what we needed to add to our CG shots to create the action that Colin desired for the film.”}}
