‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Visual Effects Behind-the-Scenes [VIDEO]

Avengers: Infinity War had some of the most impressive visual effects of the year. Here's a behind-the-scenes video of how it came to life.

Avengers: Infinity War, with a budget of around $316–400 million, is one of the most expensive movies ever produced. It's obvious that a large portion of that budget went to CGI considering the epic proportions of the movie.

From creating Thanos' destroyed planet of Titan to the open vistas of Wakanda, the talented visual effects artists from Industrial Light & Magic—founded by George Lucas to work on Star Wars—had their work cut out for them. 

It's apparent from the visual effects reel above that they absolutely nailed it—and have landed on the Oscars shortlist for Best Visual Effects. 

In the video above, go behind the scenes of the visual effects behind Infinity War and see how the artists created the battle of Wakanda. The video covers everything from the Hulkbuster suit to War Machine's missiles and the wide field of play to Thanos' spaceships crashing to Earth. 

It's an incredible feat of visual effects that is going to push the film medium even further. Infinity War is almost certain to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Visual Effects—check out all our Oscar predictions here—and it definitely deserves it.
