“ILM London started as three of us in a small serviced office on Regent Street,” says Morris. “I joined in October last year.”

Since then, visual effects specialists have flocked to ILM London, which during the Star Wars shoot moved into its own building with room for up to 180.

Already though, the studio is looking for a second site nearby to house almost as many staff again, as the Star Wars workload increases and it takes on more work, including the forthcoming sequel to the Marvel superhero blockbuster Avengers Assemble.

Soon, ILM London will aim to handle three to five films at different stages of production simultaneously, says Morris. But there are limits.

“Let’s be honest, London isn’t a great place to build scale. It’s a very expensive city to live in. What we want to be is a reasonable size but not gigantic in London.”
