A recent film that blurs the boundaries is Jurrasic World (2015), directed by Colin Trevorrow. The entire Jurassic park series of movies make use of CGI and blurs the boundaries in order to create a realistic world. This is especially relevant with the CGI dinosaurs, as they are a key part of making the movie believable. As well as this, they use actors with black suits and helmets to act as the dinosaurs in some parts, so the actors can interact properly with them, so it adds that next level of realism.
The models used for the dinosaurs are also incredibly detailed to add to this, with skeletal and muscle structures included which interact and change with their animation. The visual effects team also worked to replicate the lighting used in the scene, so the models wouldn’t look out of place. In order to perfect this realism, they had to pay attention to all the subtleties, such as the way the lighting would interact with their skin, their mannerisms and how they interact with the environment (ie rain).
