Abracadabra: New DOCTOR STRANGE Reel Shows Off the Film's Award-Worthy VFX

We've already seen a couple of VFX breakdowns from Marvel Studios' excellent Doctor Strange, but now a new one has surfaced that's just as impressive. Framestore, one of the visual effects companies that worked on the film, has posted a collection of some of their work on YouTube. I know The Jungle Book won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects this past weekend, and while that's definitely warranted (almost all of that movie is VFX), I wish Doctor Strange could have won because I think these are the best effects in any Marvel Studios movie so far. Oh well — not winning an award doesn't change the fact that the final film looks amazing, so props again to the team at Framestore and ILM for such great work.

Framestore worked on over 365 shots on Marvel's Doctor Strange, encapsulating a range of VFX and animation work including environments, the complex 'Mandelbrotting' of sets, incredibly high resolution digi-doubles of key characters, and the creation of the astral form, a key technique used throughout the film.
