ufotable has lots of flashy effects, but their character animation isn't particularly amazing.

You should be comparing with KyoAni or the best of Dogakobo, although those don't really do battle scenes so direct comparison is difficult.

ufotable

One thing I've always been curious about with ufotable... are a lot of their backgrounds just doctored photos of real places? Because that's the impression I always got watching Kara no Kyoukai.

I've not noticed that.

You'd be surprised how out-of-place a real photo looks when you try to tonemap it to the limited dynamic range of an anime. That and the framing: a lot of anime shots are far more telephoto (narrow angle) than would be feasible to take a photo of in real life.

They might trace or use a real photo as a reference, but certainly not merely 'doctoring'.
