ILP had the honour of contributing VFX to two thrilling episodes of Reacher Season 3.
To support the storytelling, we transformed a calm, in-camera ocean into a dangerous, churning force, complete with a tide pool where crashing waves carry bodies out to sea. This sequence involved large-scale water simulations across a long stretch of coastline to maintain consistency across all shot angles.
In the season finale’s intense fight between Reacher and his adversary Paulie, we seamlessly transitioned from live-action to full CG as the characters tumble down a steep hillside, off a coastal cliff, and into the ocean. The underwater battle that follows, taking place above, below, and within the water, combined augmented studio tank plates with full CG shots. We simulated waves, bubbles, and volumetric fluids, and created detailed digi doubles of the actors, including cloth and hair simulations.
