Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: The Art of the Movie

Product Information

Our mantra throughout the film was ‘make this read like a comic book.’ If the set needs to be moved, if the focal length needs to be changed, if character staging needs to break, that’s fine. At the end of the day, it was all about paying homage to classic comic book design language. My main goal at first was to explore the world, the comics , the past of Spiderman, the cinematography, the language, the style, the possibilities. To set the most amazing thing ever, basically.

The reason why Sony, directors or producers do not mention my work that much out there, or if my mysterious "Visual Consultant" credit is not bad, or not good , fair , or unfair is more a problem of myself getting poor legal advice. I dont care as long as I can write a text about it and at least have few people reading it. Even though I think I have a pretty sweet mention in the book. May be no, Im not sure. RELATED: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's Final Scene Recreated by Fan With LEGO Animation The Trilogy Will Conclude With Beyond the Spider-Verse Very early, So early that I had an entire empty huge massive 2nd floor just for myself, and it was like that for few months. No Directors or Producer was attached to the film at that point yet. To handle the expanding multimedia aesthetic of the franchise, Sony Pictures Imageworks created a new department called Look of Picture. “On this one, there are so many technical hurdles and different looks that I’ve spent 80% of my time developing tools,” states Bret St. Clair, Senior Look Development and Lighting TD at Sony Pictures Imageworks. “We saw a lot of art that depicted paint being thrown around in-frame in ways where strokes aren’t specifically connected to a character or to anything. They’re floating in space. The problem for us is we try to approach everything rendering in a traditional way. Then we try to have all of our tools handle the rest in compositing. When it comes to positioning brushes in 3D, we needed to be able to reconstruct where those positions are, even when they don’t lie specifically on the surface that you’re applying the brush to, and the rendering tools, especially in 2D, don’t give you that information for free.” PC & Peripheral All you need to know on the latest PC releases and whether they’re worth their dime.Again Sony 5 Starts gave me full most luxurious team of super high profile technicians, artist, software , hardware, animators, 3D artists and modelers. People with lots of patience that didn't understand very much what I had in my brain at first. But together and thousends of paintings , layers , renders and hell amount of art we all develop the most spectacular 3 or 4 shots I ever seen. ( at least at the time ) I hope Sony will publish them some day. ( And hope they dont give me an "Advisor" Credit for that…! ) Car Our revheads bring you all you need to know on the coolest electric vehicles and sports cars available on the market. And the film preserves the most important part: To create something different from what we generally see in mainstream animation. First up is Pavitr Prabhaka, a.k.a. Spider-Man: India. Introduced in 2004, the hero has since shown up a few times as part of various crossover events, but is a very underrated character. The costume below is quite a departure from his comic book counterpart, though we'd also argue it's a massive improvement and a visually stunning take on this Spider-Man.

Here’s how just one of the film’s scenes evolved from initial sketch to fully realised concept art, as Miles ( voiced by Shameik Moore) heads underground with his uncle Aaron (Mahershala Ali) to practice his street art – and ends up the unwitting victim of a fateful spider bite… Chain reaction The shots that we produced with an incredible technical team were some of the most amazing thing Ive seen, and Im extremely proud of them and the team involved. With those shots we open a door to a pipeline and possibilities and help to estimate the overall film. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse follows the continuing adventures of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) who once again teams up with Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) to save not just one universe but many. It’s scheduled for release June 2, 2023 and will then be followed by the trilogy capping Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse on March 29, 2024.

I’m grateful that I had the chance to contribute to this project and meet some seriously talented, inspirational people. Congrats to the entire team for all the hard work. Felicia Chen Oh, constantly. But there was an understanding throughout the team, and ultimately the production at large, that it’s not simply about coming up with the greatest idea. It’s about the best idea for the project. A lot of times you’re doing work to figure out what isn’t going to go in the film. We have artwork for things that would have been really cool, but would have left the audience asking way too many questions, and taking us down a rabbit hole that is not necessary to tell the story of Miles and the other Spiders. As a result, you never get bummed, or turned off when a great idea that you all really believed in just doesn’t fit, because in the end it’s all about the whole.
