Love it or hate it, one thing you can't deny is the impressive work done by Industrial Light & Magic for Pacific Rim.  To illustrate their efforts, which is rapidly picking up many award nominations ILM bring us two featurettes on their work involved for the movie.

From ILM's official Youtube channel: The story of "Pacific Rim" is told on an epic scale, where 250-foot tall combat mechs battle similarly sized giant alien monsters in the ocean off of the coast of major cities, and when that fails, in the cities themselves. Scale is a recurring theme throughout the film, where a large threat is countered with a large response, making humans tiny in this new out scale world. ILM's visual effects team discusses the design, effects and animation of these incredible machines in this video. We hope you enjoy it.
