ILM animators in Vancouver worked on dinosaur stampede scenes, while ILM's London studio created the remaining creature scenes. The film's dinosaurs were created using a combination of animatronics and computer-generated imagery (CGI). Filming took place at Oahu's Hālona Blowhole on July 7, 2017, where Pratt, Howard and Smith shot scenes on a beach. Unbuilt portions of the park were created by ILM using digital set extensions. The Main Street section of the Jurassic World theme park was rebuilt on Police Beach in Hawaii for a scene where Owen and Claire return to the island. The scene was set in an Isla Nublar bunker as lava begins dripping from the roof.

It was the first such scene to be featured in the film series, and was filmed in a single continuous shot with the use of a dolly track. The film crew took plate shots of Cragside and used a computer to combine the shots with footage filmed on set to create the exterior of the Lockwood Estate. The exterior of the Arcadia was created entirely through computer-generated imagery (CGI) effects by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), which worked on the previous films. In April 2017, filming took place at Hartland Park—formerly the Pyestock jet engine test site—in Fleet, Hampshire, England, where the film's opening sequence was shot. Bayona, at the suggestion of his film editor, later decided to intercut Blue's surgery scene with footage from the video diaries.

Josh Spiegel of The Hollywood Reporter said, "The most important part of the trailer is worldfilmgeek.com how it carefully, deliberately introduces the notion that the Infinity War films are going to function as a passing of the torch, from one set of Avengers to a newer group". To promote the film's first teaser trailer, Marvel released a compilation video of some of its previous trailers since Iron Man (2008), "paired with fan reaction videos to those trailers". In early March 2018, Disney moved the release of Infinity War in the United States to April 27, 2018, to have it be released the same weekend as some of its international markets. For the film's final scene, where Thanos settles in a nipa hut, the filmmakers worked with Thailand-based studio Indochina Productions to acquire footage of the Banaue Rice Terraces at Ifugao, Philippines.

Reviewing Independent Films Fairly

The ILM team also referred to elephants and rhinos to determine how the dinosaurs should move and behave. Vickery and ILM did extensive research to accurately create and depict the dinosaurs, which included consulting with paleontologists.
