Who's to say the people over at Marvel weren't working on VFX as well whilst the film was shooting?? From the footage desriptions of CA:TWS, it seems like most VFX shots were nearly done like
The heliecarrier crashing into a river
The cap trailer was not 15 seconds
It begins with a clip, as Cap walks onto an elevator in a massive building, his shield on his back and rocking the new S.H.I.E.L.D.-themed uniform. The elevator begins to move and then stops, with a number of SWAT-like guys entering, including Frank Grillo as Rumlow (Crossbones). Cap addresses him as Rumlow and they seem to have a working relationship and start talking about a mission they're about to go on. The elevator stops and more people get on. Cap starts to get suspicious and looks around at everyone, who all face forward as the elevator continues to move again. It then stops a third time, with more people getting onboard. Cap waits a beat and then says, "Before we do this. Does anyone want to get off?"
And with that, we're into a full on closed-space brawl, that goes down every bit as bad ass and awesome as a James Bond or Jason Bourne style throw down. What's clever is that these guys came prepared, utilizing a magnetic clasp that is meant to hold Cap down so that they can subdue/sedate him. But, the Super Soldier serum isn't easily defeated and Cap is able to pull free, using the clasps as hand holds to manuever around the tight space and unleash hell. That is, except for Rumlow, who looks vicious and intense when taking on Cap as they're the last two standing. It's a tough fight, and although Cap prevails, you are left feeling that Rumlow is a contender for him. Cap stands in the elevator, surrounded by knocked out bad guys, kicking his shield up to his hand like a boss and we jump right into the new trailer.
The trailer begins after this, kicking into high gear with a lot of quick cuts and action sequences spliced in that it would be impossible to recount it all in just one watch. There are snippets of dialogue peppered throughout, including the first images and dialogue from Robert Redford, who is mostly office-bound. Fury and Cap are standing in a heavily industrialized military area talking at one point with Fury saying something to the effect of, "We have to deal with the world as it is; not how wed like it to be," to which Cap says, "That's fear, not freedom." From there it's a lot of running, from all characters, including SWAT teams, Black Widow, Cap, an exploding SUV (as we've seen in the set pics), and a familiar armored arm ripping off the hood of a moving vehicle while he's on top of it.
There's also a massive S.H.I.E.L.D. base that is very reminiscent of the Triskelion base from the ultimates comics, that really puts the scale of Cap in perspective. Remember how cool the Helicarrier was in THE AVENGERS when you saw it? Now imagine a massive, almost "Death Star" like docking base where you could easily fit twenty of them. There's also a sequence that shows the new and improved Hellicarrier crashing into the water and it crumpled and explodes in layers as it crashes, which really plays up the sheer volume of it. One thing's for sure. The rumblings that this film is every bit as big as THE AVENGERS in terms of action and scope seem deadly accurate.
Captain America: Winter Soldier
The Falcon is introduced in style, showing him being chased by bad guys on a roof top, forcing him to jump off, while shooting two automatic handguns, then activating his wings and flying off, while still firing away. The trailer is super light on actual Winter Soldier footage aside from the hood sequence above and the title pops up as if that's all we're going to get. Only it's not. The sweet reveal comes after the title, where we see Cap's heavily scathed shield embedded in the ground, debris and flames riddled on the ground. A pair of black, military style boots walk toward it and then a silver, bionic arm reaches out and grabs it, the camera panning up to reveal the unmasked Winter Soldier. The coolest aspect? Although he doesn't have the eyemask, the area around the eyes is darkened, much like warpaint, and in the last second he looks up, showing his eyes, looking determined and angry.

I'm willing to bet that we will see both teaser for ASM2 and CA:TWS attached to Thor and the Hunger Games as well.
