Although it was the highest-grossing and one of the most popular films of last year, Marvel Studios’ The Avengers only managed to snag one Academy Award nomination and, unsurprisingly, that was in the visual effects category.

It’s an interesting behind-the-scenes glimpse at how a number of effects sequences were put together, especially the tour-de-force single tracking shot of all the Avengers fighting as a unit during the Battle of New York at the movie’s climax.
