How the AVENGERS Movies Impacted, and United, the World of Visual Effects

VFX Voice Magazine: “It’s interesting to look at the major leaps in visual effects over the years,” observes Dan DeLeeuw, Marvel Studios Visual Effects Supervisor. “In many cases, it’s a single film that does something revolutionary, and those techniques are incorporated into other films – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Willow with one of the first morphs, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and The Abyss all come to mind. But there are also the big franchises that push a whole collection of techniques forward. The Star Wars trilogy, all of the Harry Potter films, and now the MCU [Marvel Cinematic Universe] have all been instrumental in changing the dynamic of the industry over the course of the series.”
