Behind the scenes with The Avengers VFX crew

From fxguide.com

Click here to check out a very cool (and very long!) article about the process that went into bringing all the toys and explosions in The Avengers to life. I usually find FX stuff a bit snoozy, but the section on the forest duel between Iron Man and Thor was super interesting. I think one of my favourite lines has to be 'Weta developed CG trees that resulted in individual pine needles - exceeding 300,000 - all individually solved'. 

Of course you did, Weta. Of course you did.
