Infinity War's destruction scenes highlight how visual effects have developed to produce lifelike urban devastation. The production chose blue screens to cover building facades instead of conventional green screens, therefore enabling more exact control over the resultant composite images. Scenes involving Iron Man especially relied on this technical decision since his red and gold costume would have been more difficult to key against green screens. Using blue screens also gave improved choices for including natural lighting effects into the finished composite. Creating these demolition sequences required meticulous pre-visualization, careful camera movement planning, and substantial post-production effort to guarantee that the environmental damage was both magnificent and physically realistic.
