Everybody’s counting down the days leading to Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The most spectacular thing about the movie series is the visual effects, namely the CGI Cybertronians.

Industrial Light and Magic of George Lucas and Michael Bay’s own Digital Domain help create the visual spectacles with their talented artists.

ILM recently uploaded two behind-the-scenes videos (nope, not Transformers 3… from the first movie) to let us know of the hard work they are doing.

If this writer may quote a portion from the article posted at Collider…

“...The scene in question involves Megatron and Optimus Prime flying through a building mid-battle. To achieve the effect, ILM constructed a 1/4 size model of the building that took up an entire sound stage. As a result, the falling debris has a far more realistic and tactile quality than would ever be possible with digital effects. It’s nice to know that ILM still has a commitment to producing old timey model effects. While CGI might offer more fluidity and control than was ever possible with practical effects, there’s just something more believable about a physical effect. It’s always easier to buy something that clearly once existed in the real world rather than simply on a computer...”

Take a look at both videos by following the links below:
