LocationNorthern California

The Lockwood Estate was the home of Benjamin and Maisie Lockwood in Northern California. It was here that Lockwood and John Hammond would extract their first DNA sample from Fossilised Amber paving the way for De-Extinction and Jurassic Park.

It would later become the headquarters of the Lockwood Foundation and be usurped by Eli Mills for his own agenda, including the creation of the Indoraptor and auctioning the surviving animals of the Isla Nublar Crisis to fund further research and development.

Production Notes

Pre-Production

In winter 2016, plate shots for the environment that would become the Lockwood Estate were taken at Cragside in Rothbury, UK. Whilst scouting the location, Clear Angle Studios scanned the entirety of the manor to use as a base for the CG model of the Lockwood Estate. Visual Effects Supervisor David Vickery and Director of Photography Oscar Faura captured establishing shots of the area using an Alexa Mini mounted to a drone.

"We spent two days shooting the manor from every angle," recalled Vickery. "We shot hours of footage, and then set up base in a pub, and re-encode all the Alexa Mini footage into Quicktimes so we could send them down to J.A. in London. Later, he called us, and said, 'This is amazing - You've got to do more!'"

David Vickery, Cinefex

Greg Fangeaux conducted a location study on the individual sets for the estate, combining them together to create an initial layout and fleshing it out to form the full estate.

Production

Once filming was complete in the Library set, it was heavily modified to be reused as the ballroom/auction hall. The balcony was removed, the ceiling was filled in and the dioramas were tiled over. A concrete plinth with rails was then constructed to transport the auction animals and their cages in and out.

Trivia and Goofs

  • The sets built and CG model of the estate do not match up correctly in a number of instance. On the physical set the library is located to the right of the entrance hall, but on the CG model is it straight behind it. The circle window above the front doors of the manor is recessed away from the doors, however on the CG model it is flush with it.
  • In the scene where Maisie sneaks into Wu's lab, she clearly presses the last button on the panel for -3, however when the doors open there is still another level below her.
