The company released a statement saying, “We are proud to present this video which showcases some of ILM’s Oscar nominated effects work for the 2012 hit film, Marvel’s The Avengers. This reel represents a small fraction of the work created by over 200 ILM artists, scientists, and engineers backed up by a world-class production team. The stop motion animations that open and close the reel was done the old fashioned way – by hand, one frame at a time. They were crafted by ILM’s stop motion guru, Erik Dillinger specifically for this reel.”
Its always interesting to see how everything grand is built little by little, also how many people it actually take to create Marvel films.
