The Avengers Battle in New York was everything you'd expect, except...
that none of it was actually filmed in New York!

The Avengers battle in New York had everything you'd expect from a Marvel action sequence:
Incredible visual effects, fire and explosions,
Heroic Poses, jumps, and landings,
The iconic theme tune, and the trademark "one-liners"...

Let's take a deep dive behind the scenes of how they made The Avengers New York Battle,
The Hollywood Magic in creating mass destruction, fire, and explosions!
and what a Superhero jump really looks like!

The original design for the Leviathan and the aliens came from Marvel Art Department and both had purple lights and gold armor to give them a connection to their home planet,
however, ILM had to add battle damage, patina, and weathering to the armor because they found that in some shots, the gold color was just too vibrant.

High-resolution DigiDoubles were created for every character by using Lightstage and Mova captures.
These High-res DigiDoubles had to be able to hold up in the closer shots to allow them to achieve more dynamic transitions from plate photography to full CGI.

This continuous shot of the Avengers working together combined plate photography shot on indoor sets...

with a full CG environment created from LIDAR scans of the real viaduct set they built in New Mexico.

Extremely precise and meticulous previsualization work from The Third Floor was required to be able to choreograph the live-action plates with the full CG plates.

The real Viaduct set was 90 meters long, lined with 12-meter-high green screens, and dressed with overturned damaged cars and debris and a combination of a full CG environment, digital characters driven by motion-capture performances, and live-action plates were required for the Thor and Hulk sequence.

Not only was Hulk's performance driven by Mo-Cap and facial camera data from Mark Ruffalo but every part of the Hulk's anatomy was also based on Mark Ruffalo, from the gray hairs to the pores of his skin.

ILM had to digitally reproduce the city of New York with all its relevant streets and buildings but with one little exception...

Stark Tower.
They did this by shooting nearly 2000 tiled spheres of different areas of New York and then using those images to create a digital version, removing the Metlife Building and replacing it with Stark Tower.
