Thor: Ragnarok VFX videos break down electrifying movie magic

If you haven’t seen Thor: Ragnarok DON’T watch these behind-the-scenes vfx reel videos. But if you have these are really cool examples of just how awesome all the vfx companies Marvel Studios works with really are (Luma, Framestore, ILM, Method Studios). They’re the (very often) unsung heroes in the business. I really enjoyed working with Jake Morrison the VFX Supervisor who led the charge on the vfx side. #thor #thorragnarok #hela #loki #valkyrie #vfx #marvel #marvelstudios #chrishemsworth #tomhiddleston #tessathompson

The visual effects artists behind Marvel Studios brought the thunder from down under to Thor: Ragnarok, which brought back Chris Hemsworth‘s Asgardian Avenger to face off against the Goddess of Death. Andy Park, concept artist and visual development supervisor on the film, tipped his hat to these VFX wizards by sharing behind-the-scenes making-of reels for some of the most action-packed and stunning sequences.

Directed by Taika Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok saw Hela (Cate Blanchett) blasting Thor through space to the planet Sakaar. While our hero was busy fighting with Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) to escape this gladiatorial hellscape, Hela was busy taking over Asgard. To bring these CGI-heavy scenes to life, Marvel worked with VFX companies Luma, Framestore, ILM, and Method Studios.

Jake Morrison served as the visual effects supervisor on the film.

One of my favorite scenes! I want THIS to be a whole movie (not the slow-mo but this visual & story). If you haven’t seen Thor: Ragnarok DON’T watch these behind-the-scenes vfx reel videos. But if you have these are really cool examples of just how awesome all the vfx companies Marvel Studios works with really are (Luma, Framestore, Method Studios, ILM, Rising Sun Pictures). They’re the (very often) unsung heroes in the business. I really enjoyed working with Jake Morrison the VFX Supervisor who led the charge on the vfx side. #thor #thorragnarok #hela #loki #valkyrie #vfx #marvel #marvelstudios #chrishemsworth #tomhiddleston #tessathompson

Thor: Ragnarok also brought back Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, Idris Elba’s Heimdall, Anthony Hopkins’ Odin, and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange alongside newbies like Jeff Goldblum’s The Grandmaster and Karl Urban’s Skurge.
